When
the word "luxury" is mentioned, one might imagine large estates, gleaming
hallways, and lavish gardens with infinity pools. A more holistic view of luxury, however,
depends largely on what - and how - you conceive it to be. It can mean comfort, just as much as
decadence. It can cause admiration,
instill inspiration, or simply make you smile. Who wouldn't want to have a
luxurious home?
Contrary
to popular belief, creating luxury in your home doesn't involve possessing wealth
or hiring a world-renowned interior designer. With the right design elements thoughtfully
placed across a room, your home can feel just as opulent as a king's abode.
We have compiled a few suggestions to help get you started:
Gold-Leaf
Accents
With
furniture embellishments, a little can go a long way. Gold-leaf, for example,
is a thinly-pressed sheet of gold often used to adorn woodwork. A table gilded
with 18K gold-leaf along its trim generates enough lushness to make luxurious centerpiece
within a living space: |

Intricate
Veneer Inlay
Another
element of subtle luxury involves using veneer inlay designs inserted within
wooden furniture, most commonly on tabletops.
This creates an undeniably majestic touch, especially for a dining table. You and your dinner companions will feel absolutely
regal with a table such as this Carneros Dining Table dressed with an elegant
Turkish veneer inlay design.
Marble-Top
Tables
Marble
has been regarded for ages as a luxury piece in the home. It is well-known for its durability, but is
more often sought after for its smooth, lustrous appearance and sultry texture.
Put marble on just about anything and it instantly becomes the focus. Marble-top tables create a pleasing
statement combining the warmth of wood with the cool, sophistication of marble. |
