Over time, we can fall out of love with our homes, however moving isn’t always an option – either financially or due to not wanting to leave a community you’ve become so attached to.
If you’re looking to fall back in love with your abode, then it’s the perfect time for you to redecorate. And, if you’re looking to turn you home into a luxury retreat, the good news is, this can be done on a budget.
“Luxury” is a subjective thing. It means different things to different people. Here are five ways that you can make your home feel more luxurious without breaking the bank.
Keep it clutter free
Having a tidy living space can go a long way to making your home not only feel more luxurious, but more relaxing too.
When your home is untidy, it can leave you feeling anxious and out of sorts. Spend a couple of weekends going through everything that you own. If you don’t have a place for it, then ask yourself if the item is something that you really need. If it’s not, consider donating it to a charity shop.
Choose your colours carefully
Finding the perfect colour palette is a great way to create that luxury look in your living areas. A great option that is popular with many homeowners is to use high contrast colours.
Of course, if you still want your rooms to look bright and open, limit these darker shades to a feature wall.
Wallpaper experts such as World of Wallpaper offer a huge range of quality options to suit any aesthetic.
Upgrade your mattress
Nothing feels more luxurious than sliding into a comfortable bed each night. However, over time, as our mattresses wear, not only can they start to feel uncomfortable, but they can also hinder our sleep, and even start to cause health issues.
If the time has come for you to invest in a new mattress, then consult with the experts at Archers Sleep Centre. They offer a range of mattress options and are on hand to help you find the perfect option for your bedroom.
Introduce plant life
Adding indoor plants to your spaces can not only make your rooms feel more luxurious, but studies indicate that they can even help some of us to feel more relaxed – you just need to remember to water them.
Plus, if your rooms are decorated with simple white shades, then adding greenery can be an excellent way to introduce a splash of colour to a room.
Decorate with large wall art
Large wall art can not only look deceptively expensive, but it can be a great way for you to fill up large empty spaces on your walls.
Sites such as Wallart-Direct are a great place for you to find quality, handmade works to decorate your home.
I am a 50-something Torontonian who loves everything about my city. It’s been my home, my playground, for my entire life. I went to school here. I met my wife here. I own real estate here. I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
