5 Essentials to Give Your Small Apartment A Luxurious Flair

There is something about luxurious spaces that make us feel special.  Many things can be done around your apartment that can get you and your guests feel more comfortable by appealing to our senses of sight, touch and smell.  Be it an interesting flower arrangement, a carefully selected colour palette or simply some lighting fixtures that add the wow-factor to the room, it sure is something that can be manipulated to make your home look and feel more glamorous without going bankrupt. Here, we will present five essential luxe-looking items that you can incorporate into your living area:

Luxurious-looking lighting

Natural light from the windows will help light up your living space and make the room feel fresh, airy and bright. Lampshades do look pretty in living rooms and a chandelier above your dining table is sure to make the area more expensive-looking. You can also use some LED lights to bring focus to certain areas – the shelves, the mirrors or the ceilings. Wherever they are installed, they will make those spots the focal points of the room. Last, the subtle flickering of the candles (scented ones are a plus!) can calm you down after a long day. While making your home look pretty at the same time.

Majestic metallics & magical mirrors

An instant way to make a place look more expensive is by placing several metallic objects in your living space. It will automatically look more luxurious since the light bounces off those objects, making them shine and sparkle. Mirrors are another great option. Since their reflection makes the room feel more spacious and expensive. Especially, if they are larger types of mirrors placed strategically. Tip: put them on those walls that face windows – that way the natural light will be reflected. Another option is to get pieces of furniture with mirrors on them. Such as; nightstands, shoe cabinets or wardrobes. Whichever piece you choose, they are sure to look luxe and high-end.

Quality carpets

A really important part of the room are the floors, the horizontal spaces – and what you use to cover them. Selecting carpets can be of crucial importance since they serve as a base for everything else. What you want to get is a sense of cohesiveness within a room, and rugs and carpets do just that. They act as a connecting medium, tying everything together and adding depth to the room. That’s why we need a quality carpet to fill in that blank horizontal space. For that reason, it is a good idea to invest in quality antique rugs – not only do they look elegant but they also provide the space with a warm and cozy vibe.

Decorative drapes & color coordination

Vertical spaces are just as important as the horizontal spaces. To make your walls longer, you might want to consider opting for longer drapes to hang on your windows. They will give off the impression of spaciousness, especially if the drapes are made to measure. What kind of drapes you choose depends on the style of the room, the colour scheme and also whether or not you want it to act as an accent or a supporting element. That being said, colour coordinating plays a big role in making space look cohesive. To create a harmonious-looking room, you can use the colour wheel to see which colours go together and then decide on the colour scheme that you are going to use. When in doubt, go with white! It looks fresh, clean and rich.

Fresh flowers

Adding some flowers serves as a great finishing touch to your room. Fresh-cut bouquets breathe life into space, filling the air with their subtle fragrance. They act as natural air fresheners while being decorative and chic at the same time. Go with orchids, lilies or simple yet elegant roses – it is a small price to pay for such a glamorous touch to your living space. Dining table, hall or living room – wherever you decide to place them, they are certain to enhance the overall atmosphere of every area.

There are so many ways to make your living space look like it cost you a fortune, so why not take advantage of that? Hopefully, these tips helped you get a clear vision of what needs to be done in order to get that expensive look and enjoy in beautiful and glamorously decorated spaces of your own home.
