Luxury Home Design Tips to Transform Your Space
Whatever your space and whatever your style, every home holds the potential to become an oasis of luxury. At Andrea Benedettini, our London interior designers provide clients with an expert eye that considers every detail of how a room might not only look; but be experienced by those who enter. From rich textures to elegant colour palettes, we consider each element of a property through the lens of luxury, transforming residential properties into stunning homes steeped in sophistication.
Whether you’re currently considering hiring an interior designer for your project, or simply wish to bring more opulence to your home, here’s our expert tips on how to curate interiors that look and feel more luxurious.
Find Your Style
Traditional, contemporary, eclectic – there are so many different styles our interior designers choose from. What’s important is that you decide which direction is right for you. Choosing an interior design style that matches your personality means you can decorate your home with confidence, as well as preventing you from making choices that don’t feel right in the space. Whether you opt for one or land somewhere in between, settle on overall style you want to achieve in your home. This will be the base from which you build your schemes.
Plan Your Space
Once you know your style, you can plan your space. Whether we’re planning interior design in London properties or abroad, we spend time considering how our clients wish to use each room, and how we want them to feel in the space. Think about how you want to use yours and let that guide how you arrange the furniture. Be sure to leave enough space for people to move in the space. When it comes to luxury, comfort is key.
Use Colours
Finding the perfect colour palette takes careful consideration for any interior design project. But if you want to bring a sense of sophistication and individuality to each room, don’t be afraid to use colours. Deep blues, greens and earthy hues all create a feeling of luxury and drama that enhances your space. Balanced with neutral tones, you can achieve opulence without feeling overwhelming.
Create a Focal Point
In luxury interior design, every room needs a focal point – something that draws the eye and creates a sense of balance. Take the time to consider what to include in your space, and how it might work alongside other features and finishes. Your focal point could be a fireplace, a large piece of art, a statement chandelier or a headboard wall – there are options for every style and taste. Just be sure that it has the space to make its impact.
Use Statement Art
Statement art is a great way to add personality and luxury to your home. Finding the right piece can be what amplifies the overall look and feel of a space, providing a powerful focal point – and talking point. Take the time to find the right artwork for your space – not only to suit your chosen hues, but to communicate something personal too. This is an opportunity to create a narrative in your own luxury space. What do you want your walls to say about you?
Invest in Quality Furniture
A luxurious space needs good quality furniture. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, making that investment will ensure your pieces last for years to come and become a meaningful part of your beautiful home. Choose furniture that is well-made and will stand the test of time. Consider how their colour and finish might bring your interiors together. But most importantly, find pieces you can fall in love with.
Get Inspired by Nature
Many luxury interior designers turn to nature for inspiration. Patterns, textures and organic materials from outdoor world can add sophisticated layers for your décor, as well as cultivating a sense of calm to enhance your wellbeing. Try incorporating plants, flowers and stone in your design and bring a feeling of tranquillity to your luxurious space.
Finishing touches
Finally, add some luxurious finishing touches that bring everything together. When choosing your accessories, look at the areas lacking in depth, texture or colour and see what could work. This is your opportunity to be creative and adventurous, adding anything from books, trays, candles, pillows, vases and sculptures – just be sure to consider their placing and enjoy bringing your space to life!
