The contemporary, minimalist style of the mid-2010s has had its time in the sun. We’ve learned to declutter and to embrace natural light, and now people are looking to inject their homes with personality. For inspiration, they’re looking to luxury and boutique hotels, spas and villas. Here’s how to pluck the best of luxury style and put it in your home without a big budget renovation.
A Touch Of Home Luxury Without A Luxury Budget |

Go Au Naturel |
Touch Up The Details |

Incorporating natural materials in the home is an easy way to add something that looks classy and timeless at the same time, while also being a little bit friendlier to the environment. However, using them exclusively can be pricey, so it’s a good idea to instead focus on one or two big elements, like wooden flooring or granite worktops. There are some very convincing faux stone wall panels you can fit over your own walls too so you can evoke the feeling of natural materials without the exorbitant price tag.

Hotels are all about offering a little bit of style everywhere you look. So, while you’re looking for discounts of big furniture, try to apply any savings you find to those details. This includes finding cost-effective window treatments by shopping to buy curtain rods online, as hotel windows always play up the view. Adding a little touch of softness such as area rugs and throw pillows to rooms that make use of smoother materials like hardwood flooring and leather furniture is always a welcome and welcoming touch, too.

Create A Display
You should still avoid clutter where possible, but luxury hotels and villas always have a little display, something to act a centerpiece of the room, to establish and evoke a theme or a mood. Setting up a vignette on the central table or an eye-level shelf can do just that. The right selection of simple, complimentary items can make the other details of the room all the more impactful. Use a few items of varying heights and widths, of different textures and colors, but all grouping the same style, whether it’s rustic, nautical, grand or otherwise.

Layer Your Lighting
Luxury hotel rooms are gorgeously lit and most homes tend to drastically underutilize lighting. To begin with, you should look at incorporating a little more accent lighting in the home. Adding a stylish lamp is a simple, easy fix, and it doesn’t have to be too expensive to buy fitted light sconces online, either. Accent lighting can help banish some of the dark corners of the room, while also providing a lower, warmer light in the evening if you don’t want to rely entirely on your main ceiling light. Plus, it gives an opportunity to experiment with light fixture styles.

Everyone deserves a little luxury. It’s all about focusing on the details, from using natural materials to adding softness and depth through lighting and tactile design. Hopefully, the points above give a little inspiration on how to give your home the luxury hotel feeling.
