Paint it luxuriously
A new home is like a blank canvas waiting to be painted. It provides you with a world of design possibilities without limiting your options with previous choice. You have all the freedom to experiment with design and décor and introduce elements that will bring splendour to your new home. When it comes to colours, you should opt for a sophisticated colour scheme that will work as a stunning basis for other glamorous details. Rich neutrals are an elegant option that will create a subtle backdrop to more conscious embellishments. Black and white are always a glamorous choice, especially when paired up with luxe finishes, such as gold.

Create stunning focal points
You don’t need to spend a fortune on decorating your home in order to give it a luxurious flair. In fact, you can invest in just a few lush features and find a way to accentuate them. For instance, you can turn your master bed into a stunning focal point by adding a mesmerising headboard or layering lush materials. Whether it’s an elegant freestanding tub, a perfectly assembled coffee table or an enchanting fireplace, accentuating a single detail with luxurious embellishments can bring focus to your space.

Create a spa-like bathroom
A retreat-inspired bathroom is a must in a luxe home. Not only will it add a touch of splendour to your home, but it will also increase its value. Furthermore, creating a spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom is actually quite easy. You should install subdued lighting that will set the tone of relaxation while lush details, such as soft robes, scented candles, rich towels and fresh flowers, will create a true retreat vibe. Natural elements, such as wood and natural stone, are key to transforming a bathroom into a home spa. You can use them for the vanity, storage solutions, tile flooring, etc. 

Install luxe lighting
Lighting is one of the most overlooked yet most effective ways to decorate one’s home. Not only can it create a splendorous ambiance, but it can also elevate your home décor. A beautiful chandelier can work as a glamorous focal point in any room of your home. Stylish lamps will also create an indulgent atmosphere in your home, filling it with a soft, inviting glow and working as accent details. However, since you’ve just moved to a new home, it’s essential that you check whether there’s a proper electricity connection to prevent short circuit or some other electrical problems. This way, you’ll make sure that installing new fixtures is completely safe.

Add lush materials
Layers of rich, lush materials is what will bring depth, warmth and splendour to your new home. If you leave out these important details, your new sanctuary may come across as characterless. Introducing different fabrics will bring in a play of texture, colour and patterns, adding a truly authentic touch to your home. You should pick expensive-looking materials, such as velvet, silk, faux sheepskin and organic fabrics, since they exude luxury and elegance. However, it’s essential that you contrast different materials in order to make them stand out. For example, you can set a leather sofa against a plush area rug and create a truly stunning effect.

Decorate with art
Artwork is the ultimate expression of style and elegance in the interior design. Even a single work of art can elevate the entire atmosphere in your home and give it a sophisticated vibe. Furthermore, the very arrangement of paintings can create the wow effect in your new home. You can create a mesmerising gallery wall and exhibit your favourite pieces. Another stylish idea is leaning a large painting against the wall instead of hanging it. The best thing is that your artwork doesn’t have to be expensive. Of course, a painting of Monet will add a whole new dimension to your space, but unless you have a fortune to spend on artwork, you can find inspiring pieces via the Internet or lovely stores in your hometown.

Creating an indulgent ambiance in your new home doesn’t have to be expensive. With these lush ideas, you’ll be able to add a true touch of luxury to your new space.
