5 Easy Tips for a Modern, Luxurious Home
Thursday, June 15th, 2017
Are you up with the latest home trends? These 5 quick tips can get you that modern, luxurious look we are all dreaming of…
- Go green. And, as much as we love the green Kennedy Apple, we don’t mean that! It’s all about the outdoors coming in. Pantone has declared Greenery the color of 2017. Earthy shades to look out for include Kale and Hazelnut. Pair these natural greens with organic, sustainable décor, such as burlaps and soft linens.
- Mix metals. Pairings such as oiled brass and chrome or silver and polished nickel can add flare and depth to a room. It’s easy to achieve this look in you kitchen or bath, where there are various metal accents, such as cabinet handles and faucet. But the same effect can be had in other rooms using throw pillows and small décor pieces.
- Create texture. Mingling unusual design pairings can create texture and personalize a space. For example, unfinished woods, linen upholstery and faux fur may not be the first thing you think of, but they can combine to make quite a decorative impact.
- Artistic comfort. These days, a chair isn’t just a chair. Comfort is giving way to artistic value, so choosing the right conversation piece, whether it be a textured sofa or a one-of-a-kind bathroom vanity, can increase the luxuriousness of a space.
- Minimize. Words to live by, Less is “always” more. Modern minimalism, which often includes camouflaged solutions, is all the rage. A decorative pillar or archway can double as a hidden pantry, closet or wet bar. It’s the perfect combination of functionality and design.
