What distinguishes a luxury home from an ordinary home is above all the attention to detail. An interior designer knows this well and is therefore aware of how important it is to know the trends and the latest trends in furnishing accessories and luxury home decor.
A luxury interior stands out for the details, as well as for the quality of the furnishings: the right colors and shades, textures, super-furniture and paintings, the arrangement of the furnishings in the living space can make a difference. But, although the aesthetics of furnishings and luxury in a house are aspects of great importance, the functionality of the house in general and furniture in particular plays the decisive role: luxurious but also habitable.
High quality materials and craftsmanship ensure both aspects. Finally, luxury is a concept that is redefined and re-interpreted from time to time by the architect or interior designer depending on the customer's requests, his personal tastes, the location of the house and so on. However, although each room must have its own style, it is good to follow general guidelines depending on the room you go to furnish.
Here are some tips of furnishing, room by room:
Furnishing a luxury entrance: a first impression with effect
If the house of which you are designing the furniture is equipped with entrance, which might be one of those hallways which is fast disappearing in modern homes, here comes the question: how to furnish it while not compromising on the grandeur and at the same time, ensure functionality?
Born for practical needs that are more than just welcoming the visitor, the entrance is often seen as a space in which to place useful objects that sometimes undermine the elegance and luxury of the environment. In fact, we suggest you that a well-kept hallway, with the right furnishing accessories, is fundamental for the first impression people have when they enter your house.
While we understand the urge to keep items such as umbrella racks, for their functionality, we suggest that instead leave room for a print or a painting to be the main attraction. Depending on the space we can also place a light point in the entrance: maybe a table lamp, to be placed on a low table, or a long stem floor lamp. Remember to maintain a certain symmetry in the furnishing of a luxury entrance, to avoid a messy impression at the entrance of the house.
Furnishing a luxury home: the bedroom
The bedroom is perhaps the space that lends itself most easily to customizing the whole house. In a luxury house or villa, where space is not lacking, it is even easier to be inspired by many ideas. The latest trends, for example, want the bedroom to open on to an open walk-in closet, which thus becomes a full-effect piece of furniture.
Another trend wants a whirlpool-style bathtub overlooking the room, perhaps raised by a few steps, and divided by a retractable sliding door.
But let us dwell on what is the fulcrum of the room, consisting of a bed, wardrobe, bedside tables. For a luxury bedroom the bed is strictly with headboard, which can be tailored to the width of the bed. Warm and relaxing tones are a must to rest well, as well as to convey elegance and luxury to the environment. It is a must to add soft pillows and plaid to the quilt.
If the ceiling is high, you can play the chandelier card to illuminate the room, but the bedside lamps must spread a soft light-let's choose them to be unique and particular to give a personal touch. If we want, we can spread a carpet carrying it out for 1/3 under the bed and for 2/3 symmetrical outside the bed. We add a screen and a makeup cabinet to make the room a real gem.
Decorations and art: an extra touch
A luxury house that respects itself cannot ignore a careful study of the layout of artistic decorations. Prints and paintings must be smartly placed in every room, from the living room to the bedroom, passing through the kitchen. With oversized paintings, or even better triptychs to be placed both in the living room and in the bedroom, you can give a very refined look to the house. A modern home can be enlivened by brightly colored prints, in stark contrast to the neutral hues of décor. In case of a classic luxury style, on the other hand, yes to famous paintings and reproductions.
Mirrors also play an important role in the decor. We saw how to place one at the entrance, but if we put a makeup cabinet in the bedroom, while deciding to purchase a jewellery box online to place there this will have an elaborate and refined mirror area, just like in a fairy tale. Mirrors help create light effects and reflections, increase the brightness of the room, and deserve careful design depending on the layout of the windows and walls.
