How To Make Your Home Luxury
YOUR CLOSET can be designer . Why can ’ t your home ? Here are some of our tips to make your home more luxurious :
PILLOWS & THROWS
For the bedroom or living room , we highly recommend the Hermès Avalon throw blanket for a sophisticated look . The Hermès blankets come in amazing neutral colors that can easily work with any home . This throw gives a warm comforting feel and has a subtle logo .
CONSIDER STYLING WITH “ SHELFIES ”
Style tips include using a bust as a bookend , or a collection of glass bottles on top of a stack of books to style a coffee table .
ART
Something you might want to avoid is a collage of multiple canvas art all about designers . This style is a fad and overtime will go out of style . However , if this is something you love , go for it ! When playing with designer canvas art , we only recommend it if you want to add youthfulness to your home and to limit the pieces to a more personal and private area of the home such as your walk-in closet , bathroom , home office , bedroom .
COFFEE TABLE DECOR
When it comes to table decor , we recommend designer books . These can be displayed in your walk-in closet vanity , coffee table or in your home office . Limit yourself to 3 designer books in a sectioned area and add other non-designer decor around it to cohesively tie it all together . Plants are great to bring it to life and gold or silver accents can add that pop of luxury . Candles and a tray are also a great option .
What you want to avoid is overdoing how many books and flowers are on the table , if you are going for a sophisticated , mature luxury home . However , adding more flowers and books is great if you want a younger , playful home . We suggest staying away from too many colorful books paired with too many colorful flowers – we want the home to remain in the same color family to create a cohesive look .
DON ’ T REPLACE , REPAINT
Breathe new life into pieces that don ’ t fit your current décor by repainting them . For a weathered or aged look , consider a whitewash effect on clean , sanded wood furniture .
