We’re about to let you in on some of our favourite tips and tricks—transforming your home to new heights.
Introduce marble and granite
This is an infallible way to infuse a sense of luxury and refinement. Being the timeless materials that they are, marble and granite are the go-to choices for elevating the aesthetic of a space, providing an inherent touch of class that instantly transforms the ambience. Whether it’s the cool elegance of marble or the enduring allure of granite, the incorporation of these materials stands the test of time as a testament to unparalleled luxury.
Use brass and gold accents
Elevate the look of a room effortlessly through the incorporation of gold or brass accents, which offers a cost-effective yet impactful way to infuse a sense of glamour. These lustrous finishes not only introduce a touch of opulence but also lend a warm and sophisticated quality to the space. The beauty of gold or brass lies in its versatility, seamlessly adapting to various design styles. When featured consistently throughout a home—on elements such as hooks, handles, hinges and taps—these accents create a sense of cohesiveness, tying each gleaming detail to an overarching theme of sophistication.
Make the most of custom lighting
When it comes to instilling an inviting and luxurious ambience within a space, the transformative power of custom lighting is unmatched. Beyond the sheer visual impact, these thoughtfully chosen fixtures contribute to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Tailored to suit the specific functions of the space—as well as the aesthetic preference of a home—custom lighting fixtures serve as more than just a source of illumination. Whether it’s a statement chandelier in the entryway, a strategically placed pendant light over a dining table, or modern under-counter lighting as shown in this example, custom lighting adds a layer of sophistication that is both captivating and functional.
Play with textured materials
Incorporating texture throughout the home is a subtle yet powerful method to infuse a sense of elegance. For example, the distinctive vertical grooves of fluted glass adds a touch of modern refinement and plays with light, creating intriguing patterns and a sense of airiness. This textural element can be seamlessly incorporated as room dividers, doors or even as part of custom furniture, lending an understated opulence to any space.
Other textured materials like intricately panelled timber, adorning accent walls and brushed metal surfaces introduce an industrial edge—or the subtle undulations of textured stone in countertops of fireplace surrounds. Each material, with its own unique texture, contributes to a symphony of discreet yet impactful design adding depth to the home. The careful curation of these textures throughout your home ensures a cohesive and luxurious aesthetic that transcends the ordinary.
Consider stone wall interiors
Whether it’s the rugged charm of exposed brick, the sleekness of polished marble or the rustic style of interior ashlar wall, stone adds sensory dimension to a space. These solid yet sophisticated elements not only create a unique focal point in a room, but also enhance the overall visual interest through the interplay of light and shadow of the varied surfaces. The incorporation of interior ashlar is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and a commitment to timeless, organic design with an aura of refinement.
By carefully integrating high-end materials and finishes such as marble, gold accents, custom lighting, and textured materials, you can elevate the aesthetics of your home to feel sophisticated and luxurious. Each element contributes to a cohesive and elegant design, creating a space that looks stunning and feels warm, welcoming and refined.
