Have you ever noticed how many blogs there are out there on how to make your home look great on a budget? Sure, they’re interesting, but wouldn’t it be great, every once in awhile, to just see what can be done when you splash out on all the best fittings?
This post is going to make your day. With a large budget you can go with any style you like (apart from shabby, I guess). So here are three of the most popular themes.
Coastal Classique
If you’ve ever wanted an idyllic, East coast house overlooking the sea in a state like Maine or Rhode Island, this is your style. Coastal classique is all about evoking that sense of being by the sea. You want to be able to waltz into a room and almost feel the sea breeze ruffle your hair.
Coastal classique takes inspiration from the East coast’s nautical heritage and trade links with the old world. Expect to see a lot of wooden features, like wooden cabinets and flooring. These features should remind you of being on an old ocean-going vessel.
But you also want to marry this up with some of the quality that those early mariners aspired to. This means genuine hardwood flooring and antiques, solid wooden tables and chairs.
It’s also good to go with greeny blue colours from the walls and light, cloudy colours for windows, roofing beams and sofas. After all, what idyllic seaside picture is complete without a blue sky, and some wispy clouds on the horizon?

Eco Asian
Eco Asian is another popular trend featured by exclusive designers like Million Dollar Makeovers. The inspiration for this design comes from the Orient. But it’s a blend of two major themes. One is a classic reflection of Asian as the cradle of civilisation. The other is a reflection of the region’s strong ecological aspirations.
The blend of the two creates a rich serenity. This design is all about creating rich, deep colours. It’s the aesthetic equivalent of a multi-flavoured Asian cuisine.
Behind eco Asian, though is a strong desire to leave the hectic world behind and find a space into which one can retreat. The best designs in the world use clean lines, beautiful materials and elegant handicrafts. These are meant to be spaces in which both body and mind can relax.

Manhattan
Some people though love the pace of life in the city. It’s part of the reason why big cities draw so many people together.
Manhattan styling is about creating an appealing, chic interior This is not so much about having a cosy retreat. It’s about reflecting the buzz of the city back into the room. The best designs have open floor plans to complement the claustrophobia of the city streets. And they’ll have stylish, even provocative artwork.
It’s all designed to create that interior space that has it’s own vibrant personality. It should reflect the high-flyers that live there. Make sure to include eclectic urban elements to style the room. Things like hanging lamps and large wooden ceilings.
