Your home is your castle and it’s only right that you should want to kick back and relax in your castle at the end of a very long day. It’s far easier to relax at home when it’s looking as comforting and beautiful as it can. Your home should be somewhere you escape to after a long day at work. Somewhere you can grab a book and a glass of wine and curl up in delicious cosiness. Sometimes, this comfort comes from the main relaxation areas of the house such as the lounge looking more stylish and expensive.
The thing is, for a home to look expensive it’s often misunderstood that you have to actually spend out a lot of money. Absolutely not! The kitchen and the bathroom are often expensive to overhaul, and this is because usually plumbing and electrics are involved. Your lounge should reflect your personality, but that doesn’t mean it can’t look stylish. You need to work out your design goal. Ask yourself what you want from your living space and make it happen! There are plenty of articles on interior design like this one that you can read, but ultimately there are only a few tips you need to get that stylish look you want.
Simplify. The first step for any design idea is to make it simple. There’s nothing worse than complex designs that you try to do yourself. The minimalist look is very in right now and a cluttered space that has been excessively accessorised isn’t easy to relax in. It could make your home look messy and disorganised instead of sophisticated.
Conceal. While you’re on the topic of simplifying things, concealing large pieces of tech like hi-fi systems or televisions is a perfectly simple way to bring in a feeling of luxury. Fancy mirrors like these can do a wonderful job of concealing the television and opening out the room in its entirety. If this isn’t in your budget, you can minimise the screen in the room by adding a gallery wall or other such art.
Art. One of the most visually appealing things, other than a beautifully made modern sofa, is a large piece of eye-catching art. You could have a large picture on the wall or a sculpture instead. You can prevent your living space from being too formal and full of sharp corners simply by adding an artistic piece. This adds a piece of chic to your living space and is a great conversation starter!
Light. One of the last things people rarely think will give their space some sophistication is light. There is more to the lounge than the overhead ceiling light and if you invest in a mix of different types of light, you can open the room up in so many ways. Lamps dotted around the room can create a wonderful ambience. Reading lights and mirror lights can be so much softer than the harsh lights overhead. Invest well and your lounge can be luxury space you crave.
