From switching up your colour scheme to introducing statement furnishings, there are a whole host of simple ways to improve your living space and ensure it exudes class, style and sophistication. To help you get the luxe look in your home, here are some quick, easy and surprisingly effective changes that you could make.
Choose furniture that stands out
You don’t have to completely rethink your furniture to enhance your home interior. By choosing a few new standout pieces, you could overhaul the look and feel of your rooms. For example, why not add an extravagant French-style bed to your boudoir? Perhaps a carved antique-look design made from solid wood would look the part in your bedroom, or maybe a luxuriously upholstered model with an opulent headboard would be a better fit. As the focal point of the room, this piece of furniture will set the tone for the entire space.
To give your lounge a dreamy, decadent feel, have you thought about adding a sumptuous chaise longue? These pieces are all about indulgence. Meanwhile, if you have space in your bathroom, a roll top bathtub could instantly elevate the appearance of this space and create a spa-like vibe.
The key is not to be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. To expand your home décor horizons and find pieces that really wow, it pays to browse home décor magazines and check out the options available on specialist websites such as

Supersize your accessories
Oversized accessories can give your rooms the designer look that you'll recognise from the glossy pages of home interior magazines. Something as simple as adding outsized mirrors to your walls can transform the appearance of rooms and make a bold, confident style statement. Go large with your artwork too. Hanging big prints can help to give your spaces a sense of purpose and personality. Geometric shapes and abstract designs work especially well when you’re going for the luxurious look.
Introduce statement lighting
Forget drab fabric ceiling lights. By swapping standard fittings for showstoppers like chandeliers and glass and crystal pendants, you can take your home design up a gear. Make sure you have lots of mood lighting options too. For example, you could add some plinth lights to the bottom of your kitchen cabinets to bathe the floor in a warm glow. Hanging large pendants over kitchen islands or dining tables is another way to up the sense of luxury when it comes to your interior design scheme.
Create feature walls
Don’t be tempted to over complicate your colour scheme. Simple is usually best when you’re trying to create a plush effect throughout your home - and neutrals like calming cream or crisp white can work especially well. But to give your rooms some added flair, you could create feature walls in bold hues such as deep purple, intense red, dark grey or forest green.
To take your feature walls a step further, why not use patterned and textured wallpaper? This tends to work especially well in accent areas such as alcoves or chimney breasts.
Use indulgent fabrics
To truly nail the opulent look, you have to pay attention to the finer details - and this includes making sure you use plenty of indulgent fabrics around your home. For example, you could embellish your bed or couch with cosy faux fur throws and place thick pile rugs on the floors in your lounge and bedroom. It’s also good to add detail to your chairs and sofas with beautifully coloured and textured cushions. Why not go for embroidered designs for that extra touch of sophistication and detail?
These changes don’t take much time or effort, and you might be surprised by how much they can transform your home.
