Give your interior a luxurious look

Designing your interior may seem like a daunting task. Where do you start and how? After reading this article, you will know how to make the most of your space, not only to impress your guests but also to bring peace to your surroundings. You don’t have to buy a new house to make this happen, a lick of paint and new or updated pieces will go a long way.

Back to basics.

Before you head off to your favourite interior store, it’s best to decide what your style is and put together the equipped colour palette for it. Be sure to check out Pinterest, a platform from which you can get inspiration.

Industrial, boho, Scandinavian, modern, minimalist,… and so many more styles can be found here. Also know that you can combine styles, making a moodboard can help.

When you have found your style you can move on to a colour palette. cool or warm tones, depending on your interior style. In large sizes, these colours also give a finished and luxurious look. In addition to your basic colours, you can choose an accent colour that contrasts with your basic colours. An accent colour comes in smaller numbers but sets the mood for the most part. The most luxury colours of this year and the coming year are maroon blue, olive green and shades of brown. And these accent colours can be combined with gold details for a luxurious finish.

In addition to colours, there are other elements to play with.

It’s in the details and tranquillity is luxury

We’ve covered the basics now, but what really makes luxury luxurious?

Rust. Calm for the eye, calm for the mind and that pleasant feeling you get when you step into a house. To achieve this, we look to smart storage systems. You can buy storage units or storage boxes or make your own. Avoid having too many things in sight as these are more stimuli that demand your attention.

Invest in quality

At last we recommend you to add some quality pieces to your interior. This is because it is also a sustainable investment. You will not have to replace a piece immediately and in the long run it can even save you money. You can make your design piece the ‘centrepiece‘ of your space, the piece you can rest your attention on for as long as you have it. So always place it in the centre.
