How to Create a Luxury and Warm Living Space
When it comes to refurbishing or remodelling your home, there’s a tendency to focus on changes that can add value to the property. Building a new conservatory can generate around £5,750 in profit, for example, while delivering an impressive ROI of 108%.
However, it’s also important for home-owners to focus on the interior of their properties, as this can help to create a luxurious and warm living environment and even engage potential buyers should you choose to sell.
The question that remains is how do you go about creating warm living space that also creates a sense of luxury and openness? Here are a few ideas to help you on your way:
- Introduce Layered Textures into your Property
Texture is one of the founding principles of a warm and cosy interior, while it’s often the first thing that people think about when looking to transform a newly purchased house into a home.
By introducing layered textiles and textures into your home, you can instantly create a warm and inviting space while also experimenting with vibrant colours that help you to stamp your unique personality on the property.
This also ties into the idea of luxury, as there are several textiles rich in texture that also retain a unique sense of opulence. Wool and cashmere offer prominent examples, while velvet is also a lavish and warm material that can be sourced in several deep and bright colours.
You can also use fittings such as rugs and curtains to add texture to individual living spaces, with Direct Blinds offering a wide range of options to help you reimagine your home. - Make the Most of Varied and Atmospheric Lighting
Lighting can play a seminal role in any home interior, primarily thanks to its ability to create the illusion of space and opulence in smaller properties.
This lends itself to a more luxurious space, while the use of atmospheric lighting can also help to achieve variable moods in different rooms throughout the house.
Soft ambient lighting is ideal for creating a warm and cosy space, for example, while the use of mirrors and frameless glazing can also make rooms appeal larger and more spacious.
In the kitchen, the use of plinth strip lights is an excellent way of creating an alternative source of mood lighting, which is increasingly important in an age where this room is becoming more multi-functional. - Utilise Natural Colours in the Home
On a final note, we need to understand that the clever use of colour can have a dramatic impact on your interior and ability to create a warm living room.
Colours can also be combined and experimented with to create a sense of luxury, particularly in large and open rooms.
In the case of neutral colours, these can be combined with accents of warmer shades like moss green and burgundy red to create a striking visual contrast and establish a unique sense of cosiness.
These combinations also offer viable and modern alternatives to traditional reds and oranges, which people often shy away from using in their homes.
