A luxurious home is not just defined by its size and location but rather by what it provides for the owner to feel like royalty. The word luxury makes us think of comforts such as pools, in-home cinemas, tennis courts, and the ultimate game room. But what trends are considered “must-haves” in the land of the lavish?
A custom-designed dressing room
A separate space to get dressed and admire yourself in the mirror like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City! Being able to design the space yourself allows you free reign on choices like shoe and bag shelving, compartments for jewellery, scarves and hats, not to mention a comfortable seating area where your partner or kids can offer fashion advice.
Outdoor entertainment area
We are well aware of how much Aussies love to entertain, and the climate often allows for doing so outdoors. Your luxury home will bring so much more to the table if you can welcome guests onto a well-designed alfresco equipped with an outside kitchen and a built-in BBQ complete with an outside fridge.
High ceilings and plenty of light
High ceilings and large windows are great ways to bring in natural sunlight and create that luxury feel. To further create a luxurious atmosphere, think about how to position furniture around the room to maximise the amount of natural light coming in. Placing a sofa near a window can help to illuminate the area while still allowing plenty of privacy.
A spacious shower
Is there anything more rewarding than stepping out of your daily routine and rinsing off the day’s worries in a large, walk-in shower? For an even more luxurious effect, opt for glass doors and a large showerhead, or make those two separate showerheads and a freestanding bath.
An open floorplan
An open floor plan is undoubtedly one of the most important factors in creating a luxurious space. A large entryway flowing into an airy open floor plan immediately creates this atmosphere.
Integrated technology
We want our homes to be filled with tools that provide comfort, convenience and productivity. Smart home devices are becoming increasingly popular, allowing homeowners to automate their lights, thermostats, security systems, door locks and much more without touching anything physically.
