While much of the world is
careering into a modern, tech-infused future, that doesn’t necessarily need to
be the case inside your home. Your home is all about demonstrating your
character, your style, and your passions. A gleaming, minimalist white interior
might suit some people, but others are looking for something more stylish,
elegant, and “old-world”. This guide is designed for those people who want a
touch of opulence in their homes, suggesting interior additions that’ll
transform your home.
Ornamental
Wood
The art of wood-crafting has
been long overlooked in the modern world, where plastics and synthetic
materials tend to rule the roost. But there’s something really quite stunning
about how carpenters turn planks of wood into interior decoration masterpieces.
If you’re looking to add a dash
of ornamental luxury to your home, look no further than the beautiful timber finials you can attach to bedposts to create a four-poster
or to banisters to make your staircases a little more elegant. Crafted by skilled
artisans, this is a home addition that screams style and taste.
Rugs and
Throws
If you’re adding wood to your
home, it’s likely to create a warmer atmosphere in your home, especially if
it’s dark wood. So, to complement that, you should consider adding a rug with
deep, rich hues to your larger rooms. Persian rugs are, of course, the go-to
here, but if you’re operating on a budget, there are great mock-Persian rugs on
the market that look just like the real thing.
Meanwhile, the same richly patterned
materials can easily adorn your chairs in the form of throws, which you can use
to protect your couch as well as to bring a little more style into your living
room. In addition, they go well with rugs, completing your cozy and stylish
living room interior.
Lamps and
Lighting
Lighting is a key feature of the
interior of a home, setting the atmosphere more than you might realize. Wave goodbye to inset
ceiling lights and bring back the lamps and the hanging bulb to encourage a
warm, yellow-lit interior.
Lamps might seem like an
unnecessary annoyance – with more switches to press to establish light in
your home. But this is where modern technology comes in – it’s incredibly
cheap and easy to set a toggle switch on these lamps that you control from your
phone – helping you set a mood with the swipe of a finger on a screen.
Ornaments
and Paintings
Finally, it’s time to consider
what you’re going to put on display to show off your own unique taste in art,
sculpture, and ornaments. There will be plenty of places for you to put these –
from the mantlepiece to shelving. They’re adverts of your essence, and they’re
things to make you feel comfortable.
Take a look on second-hand sites
and in vintage markets to find those “old-world” features that’ll help
complete the transformation of your home into a beautiful, characterful, and
opulent place to live.
There you have it: four key
additions to your home to make it burst with elegance and display your
distinctive style.
