Being on a budget is not a crime and having a luxury home on a budget is a right. We have some of the best interior designers on our team, who know how to convert dreams into reality.
What are luxury homes?
Luxury has a different meaning for different people. For some people, luxury is having expensive art on their walls or china in their kitchen cabinets or the newest gadgets in their homes. While for others it simply means having more space. If you have enough space, good, design it the way you like but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t convert a small space into a luxury home. Please go through our previous projects, to see how we have transformed some very small spaces into a masterpiece. Most of us live in flats now, and the space is limited. But with proper expert guidance and a few tips and tricks, you can convert your ordinary-looking home into something extravagant.
However, each and every home needs to be designed according to the requirements and personal style of the client, there are some specific things that are commonly taken care of while redesigning a home. Some of them are:
Declutter
Start with decluttering everything that you don’t need. Cluttered rooms don’t scream sophistication, rather they scream claustrophobia. Evaluate what you really need and upscale the rest of the things. We don’t believe in throwing away things. After all, you have paid your hard-earned money for it. Ask our interior designers at Elevation Interior, how to utilise or upscale your old furniture. If anything can be saved, we believe in saving it. Keep in mind, that your interior designer is there to help you and not to break your bank.
Color of the Walls
Go for neutral shades on the wall. No, we don’t sound boring. In fact, this gives you more scope to play with colors while decorating the rest of the room. Let’s say, you have a bright purple wall, not saying it would look bad, but it would probably not look sophisticated with a red-colored sofa set. However, if you go for a cream wall, you have more color options for your upholstery. Similarly, you can go for a bold color for the doors and artwork.
Layout
Create symmetry while planning the layout for the furniture. This goes for all the rooms and not just your living room. Your bedroom furniture also needs to be placed perfectly. Creating more space doesn’t mean you have to push everything at the corner. The placement of the furniture is not permanent. Try out different styles before setting up. You can even change the layout over time.
Matchy-Matchy Texture
Please don’t listen to the person, who advises you to have everything in the same texture. It makes the environment a little overbearing. Instead, try to mix and match different textures. For example, if you have a wooden center table, try placing some metal planters with golden or copper shine, rather than some wooden planters. Or put a fluffy throw blanket on a leather sofa set. Transform your living space into a masterpiece with the expertise of an interior designer in Thane, who brings creativity and sophistication to every corner of your home.
Height of Curtain Rods
The height of the curtains adds to the illusion of a spacious room. Place the curtain rods high up near the height of the ceiling rather than just above the window frame. Tall curtains make the room look bigger. Add double-layered curtains to enhance the aesthetics of the room. Place the sheer curtains in the inner layer and double it with blackout curtains. This serves a double purpose. Not only does it give the room a chic look but also allows the sunlight to enter the room during the daytime. Sheer curtains are also encouraged as they help in ventilation and maintaining privacy.
Surface Space
Style your surface space. We know the purpose of the surface space is to provide an extra placing area, but that doesn’t mean, it should be left empty. Place a stylish vase or a plant or a bowl or even all three to make it more attractive. Go by the shape and size of the surface area. Also, you don’t have to buy expensive pottery to style the surface space. Visit the local market, spend some time, and encourage the local artisans but make sure that you buy some unique pieces that match the overall décor of the room. Avoid any catalog replicas as in the near future, you are probably going to see them in every other household.
Barren Walls
Don’t leave the walls barren. Hang some artwork. It could be anything from a tapestry to a collage of family pictures or just a collection of wall art from a home depot. It doesn’t have to be expensive. It just should be in cohesion with the overall look and style of the room. If you have old pictures with precious memories, just change the frame as per your preferred style and you got a thumbs up from us. You can’t buy memories from an expensive art gallery. This way you not only hold on to those precious moments but also create a state-of-the-art wall that is luxurious as well as inexpensive.
Rugs
Rugs basically hold the whole room together. Buy scale and proportionally appropriate rugs. If you have chosen warm colors for the walls, go for bold rugs. Buy modern and patterned rugs for minimalistic or contemporary style décor or go back to your roots for a traditional style décor. Just make sure it is not mismatched. You want the room to portray luxury not confusion.
