‘Remember the importance of entryway? This Hooker Furniture Living Room Melange Lady in Red Console will surely look perfect in your home.
You have once been a tourist, yes? In those moments when you played tourist for, say, a week or so, which part of the vacation was most restful to you? It wasn’t those moments when you were doing those food trips or the beach or museum visits was it? The most restful were when you went back to your hotel room and laid down to the luxurious Egyptian cotton on your equally luxurious mattress.
This same luxury can also be a part of your everyday life. You don’t’ have to go on a vacay each time just to experience this level of indulgence. It is, after all, worth it to experience such comfort each time that you go home.
There are many ways that you can add a tad of five-star hotel luxury comfort in your home. Here are some –
Begin with the Entry
Wouldn’t it be nice to come home to a display of fresh flowers? These flowers are instant mood-lifters as they add a lovely fragrance and beauty right at the entrance of your home. Those red roses or pink carnations will surely pep everyone up.
Cleanliness Is Close to Godliness
‘Ever wonder why hotels always feel, smell and look fresh? There is this thing called – housekeeping.
Housekeeping is dedicated to cleaning at a totally different level. They treat the hotel customers as guests, hence, they should be treated like royalty.
Here, the linens are sparkling clean, all the solid surfaces have been wiped to shine, and everything else is disinfected.
This doesn’t mean that you would clean your home in this manner. What matters is that the sheets are freshly laundered, the furnishings are clean and highly-maintained, the lighting is perfect, and there is zero clutter elsewhere.
Marbles Are a Must
As are mirrors. Marble just offers the look of luxury without even trying hard. Add some polished brass, gleaming mirrors, and gold-flecked accessories and you have added a touch of luxury.
Try marble on your kitchen countertops as well as your flooring. This is a durable material that is unique because of its design patterns. These have an everlasting appeal that is difficult to match.
The mirrors, on the other hand, widen your space, they can also be used to reflect light so that you get a brighter living space. Mirrors are also necessary inside bathrooms and as a statement piece inside the living room.
Luxury Is Art and Art Is Luxury
Decorative art can easily breathe life into any space. Let your walls serve as a canvas to your lovely pieces of painting and other wall art. The right art pieces can also offer a welcoming ambiance to your home. The right pieces placed at the right places could also define areas.
Art is something that you should not forego if you want to achieve a certain level of luxury. Don’t be intimidated by it no matter how pricey it is. Fresh your family’s black and white photos and these can be instant art pieces, too.
Metals Do the Trick, Too
When thinking of luxury, there must always – always – be a shimmer of metal. The rule to a luxurious space, though, is minimalism. Just add a little pop of metal somewhere so that space is elevated, luxury-wise.
Harbor Springs Upholstered Shelter King Bed is perfect for your luxe-hotel-like bedroom.
Don’t Forget the Bedroom
As you finish donning the rooms with the right lighting fixtures and window treatments it’s time to go to the bedroom to cap your project.
The bed must be the central figure in this ensemble. Match it with the right bedding, curtains, and pillows. The mattress must be supportive and layered with plump down pillows, cotton sheets, and a luxurious comforter.
Now that you’re done, are you ready to enjoy your luxurious home?

Biltmore Collection: Metal Canopy Queen Bed
The embodiment of a lavish home is a place where amenities are provided to the owner. This owner feels like royalty because all around, there’s opulence and extravagance. Just the mere mention of the word luxury spells fully-stocked kitchens, complete game rooms, tennis courts right in your own backyard, home gyms and such. Yet you don’t need to set up these opulent rooms and outdoor spaces just to feel lavish at home.
Here are some tips to make your home a luxurious one –
Open Space Layout Is a Winner
A luxury home cannot be called as such minus a grand entryway or a winding staircase. So always go for the airy, open space layout if you’re aiming to have a luxury home. This is a part of the criteria for luxury homes according to the 2013 survey conducted by Coldwell Banker, seller of premier real estate properties.
Technological Innovations
Every luxury home needs to have ample technology. The plushest homes are tech-trendy. These are also the ones that stay at the very top of the real estate market.
Imagine a home that can be locked and has climate control, all coming from a single press of a button from an iPhone. These are now built-in features for luxury homes. The builders who install such automation features all know the trends and technological needs that are hottest in the market these days.
There is also a growing trend for design elements made from reclaimed materials. Of course, more and more homeowners are becoming aware of the carbon footprint that they leave behind, hence, there are those who now use reclaimed wood flooring, wood beams and doors.
Fully-stocked Kitchen
What could be more luxurious than having a fully-stocked kitchen? Opulence is only existent where there is a magnificent kitchen somewhere. This kitchen must also be appliance-lined, with the storage units also filled to the brim.
It is also not impossible to find a walk-in pantry as well as wine racks or fridges.
As if having a luxuriously filled kitchen isn’t enough, you can even go beyond this by having outdoor pool or an outdoor kitchen to boost.
The best amenities of the outdoor kitchen include a sink, a built-in grill, stainless steel countertop areas, a refrigerator, and food and drink storage. There must also be plenty of seating areas for those nights of entertaining guests.
Increase the level of luxury by having a large pool and a cabana all set up. This expansive pool must also have water features that will make the place look more leisurely. Have the al fresco flair become the style in this outdoor haven.
Prime Location
Home ownership is all about having the best location. Being rich or luxurious means having a slice of paradise, location-wise. Have an expansive, tree-lined, private property that will set the standard to luxurious living in your neighborhood.
Remember that the wealthiest buyers often want exclusivity with regard to their properties. This means that you must put a high level of security to your oasis. While you must be able to relax and enjoy freely, this does not mean that you have to be lax when it comes to security and safety.
Extra Rooms
Movie and gaming rooms are also common in luxurious living. It is a given that the biggest homes – especially those of Hollywood celebrities’ habitats – have these extra rooms. There are also those who have home bars, home gyms, indoor pools, wine rooms, even basketball or tennis courts. In their absence, you can simply create demarcation lines for the different areas that you want to designate.
Lastly, be able to create a bedroom that is fit for a queen or a king. Again, don’t forget the technology in this special room.

Accessories Uttermost Rajata Silver Vases S3 19826 make metallic look cool.
When it comes to designing your home, know that mixing metals or metallic elements means you have to pay close attention to layering as well as the overall vibe that you are about to create. Adding character and depth to a home is as easy as adding metallics. It is no surprise that this style is making a huge comeback at the moment. Silver, nickel and steel are now quite hot in modern aesthetics. Warmer tones, on the other hand, provide a more inviting and homey vibe such as what’s provided by copper. If you are craving to mix metals for your interior design, then here are a few tips –
Metal Is Everywhere
Before you begin designing with metal, know that this isn’t all about the use of actual metal. This can also be found in artwork, draperies, even upholstery. Consider all of your options if you want to create the most luxurious lustrous look. Always keep in mind that you don’t have to limit yourself to warm tones. Metals can also be cool, all you need to do is to add some glamorous effects of silver, some golden framed mirror and a cool coffee table.
Gold and bronze offer wonderful fusions that you should consider; you could use bronze cushions with touches of gold. Achieving a luxurious look is also easy when you look for any fabric that has metallic hues.
While it’s wonderful to just go with the flow when coming up with the design of your home, still, mixing metallic tones with accessories can become overwhelming. Sure, you should have the passion to design but remember also that you need to harmonize all the elements. What you have in your hands is a pretty strong design element – metals are lustrous that they could easily overcome other elements.
Add only a couple or two of decorative items especially when you want to have an open-space concept. Always plan if you are looking into having various shades and tones.
Relax and Design
As you complete your luxurious design, it is advisable that you relax. You might already have a few silver pieces on hand but you could go bold and add more metallic tones or you could tone down and just accessorize with the metallics.
Ornaments, candelabra and mirrors are all accessories that look great with a metallic concept. They are effective in countering the overly traditional palette. One other tasteful concept is to use a silver bowl right in the middle or beside two golden candleholders. ‘How about finding two-toned metallic pieces in the market?
Keep in mind that you don’t have to spend a fortune just to purchase your chosen metallic elements. Smaller elements provide a more delicate look and feel. Small doses of metal could still add the needed sparkle without actually creating glare.
Soften the metallic theme by adding this Cynthia Rowley for Hooker Furniture Twiggy Mirror in your home.
Let Sophistication Reign
What you need to do with your current color scheme is to see if it can still be used as the base hue. Neutral interiors need texture and metals in order to make the place more inviting. Shades of gray, on the other hand, could use touches of gold or brass since these will keep the place from looking too cold. Think metallic frames and gilded mirrors. Another way to dramatize cream-colored walls is to add metal accents. Crisp, white space, on the other hand, should have a touch of silver or chrome.
Do you have chocolate brown walls? Then, by all means, use bronze shades. For blue-colored space, use silver. Energize any room with chrome, black iron or gold accents.
Luxurious Lighting
Metallic space should have these choices – gold chandelier, silver pendant lights, chrome wall sconces, etc. In essence, the sky’s the limit when it comes to your metallic lighting options.

FFDM Collectors’ Room: This is many homeowners’ dream dining room.It is rustic, pristine, classy and sophisticated – everything that one could ask for in a room.
When you are out to choose a theme for your home, there are many styles that you could get confused over. There are period styles that could fit nicely to the interiors of the smallest apartments like Mission styling, Georgian, Art Deco, Minimalist and Retro deco. You could begin looking at these time-tested styles so that there won’t be regret in the end.
Go Georgian
If you would like to try the Georgian theme, you should look into colors that are muted such as off-whites and grays, browns, blues and olive green. Be sure to add gilding in your style. Don’t stop there – decorative molding is also a huge part of this design.
Use window treatments such as swags, drapes and tie-backs. Make good use of upholstered items for both furnishings and decorative items. The perfect backdrop would be white or cream which would depict flower arrangement or a serene pastoral scene.
Georgian furnishings include French repro, winged chairs, and roll-top office desks. Use Chippendale or Hepplewhite furniture styles as they are also appropriate.
Hooker Furniture Home Office Skyline Bunching Bookcase may look traditional but it sits perfectly inside this modern home office.
The Art That Is Mission
Mission style is also referred to as the Arts and Crafts style. This was a defiant style from the ornate Victorian concept. This was and is the right apartment look as it is comfortable and uncluttered.
Mission gets its inspiration from nature, therefore, it displays a monochromatic earth tone. Walls could be brown, tan, moss, or ochre. Cream is a common accent. The doors are almost always made of natural wood, a great way to be abreast with the period.
Stained glass is also a necessary décor, with stained glass lamps taking center stage.
Beautiful, Lustrous Art Deco
Art Deco is a theme that was embraced during the 1920s till the 1930s. It’s composed of simple, clean lines. Other events that could be included as inspirations to this style are jazz music, inventions, skyscrapers and discoveries.
Since this is art, go and paint your walls with colors that contrast the woodwork. Use muted gray with turquoise, bright green or deep blue. Don’t forget to bring a little black to this look. Use it on either the accessories or the furnishings.
Mirrors and chrome pieces are great accessories.
Awesome Retro
If you were born in the 60s or 70s, you know what wonderful years those have been. Retro is a theme that’s applicable to you if you love the richness of brown and other deep tones. Use prints and wall treatments along with geometric designs.
The Scandinavian furniture pieces will also look great in this theme.
Minimalism Means Green
If you choose a minimalist theme, then you are one person who loves the uncluttered look. This style asks you to keep everything simple, from the lines, to the furnishings to the accessories. Furniture must be constructed with materials like chrome, natural wood, glass or stainless steel. These materials offer an ultra-modern look which is why they are at the top of the list.
The Functional Layout
Sometimes, all it takes for a homeowner to decide on which style to choose is knowing what layout would be most functional for his or her home. Interior design, after all, starts with the functional layout. Figure out which one is most functional for your house structure. This is also dependent on your lifestyle, how much budget you are willing to shell out and living needs.
Keep in mind that there is no one ideal layout that’s applicable to every person on the planet.
If you are still unsure about which theme to use in your home, then look through interior design magazines or sit down and speak with an interior designer.

1586-75907-GRY1 Soiree Sideboard is the perfect home for your valued silverware.
Buying finishes and materials from discount shops may save you a lot of money on an interior design project but this choice poses higher risk. If you are not careful, you can also create a space that looks bland. This is why every homeowner must always buy high-end materials from the onset. The cost may be more but you get to maximize the potential of the material plus the impact that it creates is limitless.
If you want to make sure that you buy only the finest things without splurging too much, then here are a few tips –
The Tile Wall
A full-height wall made of tiles can have a huge impact whether it is set up in the shower zone or the powder room. A standard shower that is 60’ long and a ceiling at a height of 8 feet means you should have a 40-sq.ft. wall surface that is free for you to work on. This means that you can buy a marble tile for about $5-$6 for every sq.ft. and you get a stunning accent wall for just about $200.
Use a low-cost tile to balance your budget yet still achieving that high-end appeal.
Stone hexagonal mosaic flooring plus simple white walls will also provide the harmonized approach that you need in your home.
The Single-Slab Backsplash
Use a single stone slab for that huge surface that needs to be covered. This is the case with a kitchen island countertop. Imagine having a bronzite island countertop, oh, you’d surely be the talk of the town for months!
A smaller part of the single slab can be used as a backsplash for the bathroom. This is a more beautiful option than the usual tiling. Unbroken grains can have an awesome effect which spells customization. This will provide a subtle and classy appeal.
Ask stone suppliers about their slim cutoffs which are often left over from those huge slab countertops that have been previously cut. Here, you have a huge chance of getting a discounted price so ask well.
A Piece of Art
Do you agree that the most dramatic art piece is the one that is large-scale? You should. Investing on a painted canvas rather than a whole lot of smaller art pieces will give you an roomful of color and drama minus the fuss.
The Vintage West Collection of Hooker Furniture spells richness, luxury, comfort and style.
Huge Mirrors
One of the proven ways to dramatically increase the high-end appeal of a room is to increase the scale of the mirrors that you set up there. No mirror would overwhelm any space, in fact, it would even open up a compact room. So go ahead and invest in an expansive mirror that will not just make your place look great but also has the tendency to double your investment.
Wood Floor
Wood flooring has the power to up the look of any space. No other flooring material will be able to give your home the richness and beauty that wood can give – bear that in mind. Sure, wood costs more but its beauty and durability will more than compensate for the cost.
Large Accent Pillows
Throw pillows seem to be not worth anyone’s attention but none could be more wrong. Any pillow that is less than 18 inches is screaming store bought. Try finding larger accent pillows which will make your living room appear more high-end.
An Elegant Light Fixture
Another design element that has a huge impact in any home is the light fixture. Don’t immediately default to brass chandeliers, instead, go for the more modern fixtures such as wall sconces, pendant lighting, and such.
You see, achieving that high-end appeal wasn’t that difficult, was it?

Cynthia Rowley: 1586-90010-BLK1 Twin Peak Six-Drawer Chest on Chest is sleek and uncomplicated.
When looking at the American gothic style nowadays, you might not picture how it actually came about. Its beginnings were quite humble, with artist Grant Wood taking a stroll around Eldon in Iowa. He was then just looking for inspiration when he came upon the gothic style farmhouse called the Dibble House. Being an Iowan, himself, Wood sketched this dwelling place at the back of a simple envelope. Wood’s biographer later added that the artist was struck at the thought of adding a pretentious (we’re using the biographer’s word here, not ours) gothic window on an otherwise flimsy wooden house (again, the biographer’s words). This painting resulted into what’s known today as American Gothic.
Grant Wood’s American Gothic
Using Nan Wood – Graham (Wood’s sister) and Byron McKeeby (their family dentist) as models, Wood started painting the house along with this willing pair. The Art Institute of Chicago recognized him by giving him a prize for the said painting. The masterpiece was even purchased by the Institute and hung it for everyone’s appreciation.
While Wood wanted to depict a positive image for the Americans, his painting was seen by a different pair of eyes among his critics. To them, it was a satire on the life spent in a farm. It took many years before the painting became a symbol for strength and steadfastness.
The Hancock and Moore Living Room Norvell Ancient Thunder Horse Painting Chair 4797-AT has an unpretentious farm appeal to it which is perfect for your American Gothic home.
What Is American Gothic?
This style is evident in many early American imagery and symbols. Just think of pitchforks, red-colored barns, aprons, gothic windows, blue, black and denim and you’re thinking American Gothic.
This style often works because it centers on farm life. Do you ever wonder why most children’s books feature farms and farm animals? It’s because farm life is uncomplicated and it shows a life that is easy or laidback. If you take a closer look at the industrial spirit brought about by farm structures of the past, then you would also realize that American gothic has an almost modern feel to it.
You will surely love American Gothic style if you prefer the unfussy sort of design. If the elaborate workings on furniture and architecture do not please you or if you consider apron to be an everyday wear, then you are embracing the Puritan way of life and would definitely feel comfortable in an American Gothic home.
Do not mistake American Gothic for Victorian gothic. The latter offers dark walls almost depicting haunted houses. Victorian Gothic also shows ornate architecture and the most gorgeous furniture. So, here are characteristics often associated with Victorian gothic that you must not link with American Gothic –
Drama
Victorian Gothic will always be dramatic and elegant. Say no to making dramatic statements whether in your choice of furniture, lighting fixture, or decorative details.
Wallpapers are also items that are associated with the Victorian gothic style. So keep your walls simple and nod not to patterned wallpapers, more so those that have a velvety texture. Use simple wall paint rather than the bold colors used in many Victorian homes.
Thick, Rich Textures
Draperies are both decorative and functional. The heavier, layered types of draperies are glamorous and elegant enough for a Victorian Gothic home. Should you choose the less opulent American Gothic style, be sure to go for simple draperies minus the tassels and fringes.
Opulence
Ornate furniture pieces are regal pieces of artwork. They are for homes that are rich and often dramatic. So, since you are embracing the American Gothic look, just look for straightforward designs. If you’re uncertain as to whether you can use black or not, well, you can. Just make sure that the black furniture you invest in has simple lines and a pretty uncomplicated design.

Cynthia Rowley: 1586-75203-GLD3 Shangri-La Gilded Dining Table Base
Not too many homeowners immediately resort to gold when decorating their dwellings. Others think that it’s a pretentious color while some feel that it represents their personality. But are you one of these people who are willing to get out of their comfort zone? There is no doubt that the timelessness of gold is what makes it an awesome choice in interior design. It is rich, daring and invaluable. It effortlessly symbolizes power and wealth.
Compromising with Gold
If gold is a little too much for you to use as the dominant color in your home, then you can always use it as an accent hue. Small accents of gold can have a huge impact in any interior.
The holidays often use gold to represent the merriments and luxury enjoyed by families during the holidays. But you don’t have to wait till the Christmas season for your home to look glamorous. You can already decorate your home and make it look glitzy and glamorous for your loved ones.
Gold accents are one of the hottest trends (if not a classy trend). There are so many fun and surprisingly easy way that you can add the beauty of gold in your home.
Golden Chandeliers
The chandelier is a wonderful piece to infuse the shining glory of gold. It is highly recommended that you pick an elegant chandelier that adds the needed luxury in your room. For example, find one that does not concentrate on the metallic side of gold. Find materials such as glass or fabric then use gold to frame or highlight your chosen material. Doing so will give the living room, dining room or the bedroom a more stylish feeling.
Golden chandeliers aren’t just for dining rooms anymore. This is an unexpected and often unutilized glamour enhancer.
Cynthia Rowley: 1586-90004B-GLD1 Antoinette Gilded Mirror
Gold Prints, Fabrics, Furnishings, etc.
Nothing can be more glamorous than gold furniture. Just try perusing through any interior design magazine or website and you will surely see one gold furniture or two. The most elegant rooms have gold accents. These rooms look posh because gold accents are placed strategically throughout.
You, too, can pull off this kind of look without looking tacky. Swap your linens, curtains, pillows, area rugs and fabrics with ones that come with accents of gold. You can also choose to switch a neutral-colored wall with glimmering paint. If the gold wall is a tad too much, then just place an accent piece such as a coffee table.
Accentuating the dining room is as easy as adding a gold runner. This is the kind of accent piece that can be used all year long especially when paired with the correct centerpiece.
Should you host a special dinner, the table can be decorated with gold napkins and gold-trimmed china.
Add More Sparkle
Candles are meant to burn and give glamour but be careful when adding a touch of gold in your home decor. It is easy to go overboard if you use a lot of both elements. Just try to add glittery candles instead. This is like hitting two birds with one stone.
The Gold Hardware
Brass is definitely in! Don’t think of the ‘80s kind of brass fixtures, though. Brass hardware can level up the touch of formality in your home. Fuse gold with your brass hardware, accessories and fixtures. Do this and you won’t have to worry about being too flashy.
Gold Frame It
The simplest way that you can add gold into your home is to use a gold picture frame. Just replace the usual wooden frames and use gold borders instead. Watch your walls come to life!

Fine Furniture Design’s Antebellum Collection offers luxurious and sophisticated pieces such as this dining set.
A home’s primary purpose is to provide a place of comfort that also functions. Fine living is tantamount to having a luxurious home that goes beyond the fundamental amenities. It displays a lavish setting, with enough living space, high-beam ceilings, gourmet kitchen, and expensive architectural features. However you would set up your luxury home, it is all just about planning the design correctly and putting in all the elements that represent your personal taste.
Fine living offers intricate home details, amenities, elegance, and both formal and informal spaces. Emphasis is placed on precision and timeless quality. The modern buyer can also ask for the home to be tailor-fitted to her.
Designers can customize the home plans so that they meet your specs. Each unique plan is rich in detail, sophisticated and offers superior amenities. This kind of home can be serene, dignified or palatial – the choice is yours. The homeowners should take into account three things, though –
Building a home – especially a luxurious one – is an exciting venture. This all begins with a design specifically made for fine living. You may feel uncertain, at first, when you begin looking for a theme that would work in your home. Your goal should be to start this process with enough planning.
What To Do When Buying Luxury Homes
A lot of luxury homes are unlisted so that the seller’s privacy is kept intact. Get in touch with realtors or go to various online sources.
Look beyond the photos when considering a home. There are luxurious homes that are not photogenic but they offer the best amenities and features that some photogenic homes provide. Search the property, also the vicinity, in person. This is so you know what goes on in the community and what you should expect. Have an attorney represent you especially when you are buying a condo.
Find a local expert who is familiar with the area where you’re planning to buy a house. Set up an appointment with one such expert and set aside some time to shop around with her.
Be sure to document everything since this is crucial in a high-end market that scrutinizes more. The title insurance must also be in place so that problems that are often forgotten are covered.
Lastly, haggle.
FFDM’s Vintage Classics
Interior Design for Fine Living
As soon as you’ve bought your new home, the next thing that you have to consider is its interior design. Bring in some fresh flowers to decorate your consoles, coffee table, dining room table, bedside tables, and vanities. Vases of colorful flowers will surely brighten up a boring room. Flowers will also make the place look more luxurious.
You can also decorate with fruit. Display large bowls of oranges, lemons or apples. These can add a cheerful elegance to your home. Do not just limit your design capabilities to fruits, though. Be sure to display accent pieces that will bring out the beauty of the current backdrop. Carefully choose your furniture as fine living requires only the most elegant pieces.
Another element that you have to carefully consider is the lighting. This offers function and beauty. A couple of lamps can become the focal points in a room. Chandeliers have always been the star of many dining rooms and ballrooms.
Next, pay attention to the architectural moulding. This is an important architectural element that is unique to homes for fine living. Lastly, choose paint and colors wisely. A neutral background should be made exciting with bright-colored furniture and accent pieces while a colorful backdrop should house pastel pieces.
