Ask the Designers: Add Luxury to Your Home

It can be hard to pinpoint exactly what elements make a room feel luxurious. The space may be large and open, often free of clutter. Perhaps there are some statement pieces, like a large painting centered above a sofa or a statement chandelier that lights up the space. Often, it’s less obvious items that come together to give a feeling of quiet luxury - a classic look that will never go out of style.
From fine furnishings to elegant artwork and decor, there are many items that can elevate your living spaces and bedrooms. Get tips from our team of experienced interior designers for bringing some richness into your own home. You can also schedule a consultation with a designer for everything from choosing a single statement piece to redesigning an entire room or home.

Answer:
There are several go-to materials that will lend luxury to your space. When it comes to upholstery, think velvets and chenille, anything with a nap or sheen. In accent pieces and artwork, anything with a mirrored element or glass accessories help elevate your space. Faux flower arrangements help amp up the luxuriousness of the space, without the maintenance of the real thing. Our faux flower vendors are amazing, and the arrangements look so real!
