13 decorating ideas to upgrade your home decor

Lavishly decorated living area

Luxury five-star hotels inspire some contemporary interior decorating ideas, ideas that can be implemented in home spaces, making them look fresh and upscale, such as…

• Elegant entrance: An elegant, clutter-free entryway creates a luxurious first impression on visitors, especially with a hotel-style scent of bergamot, patchouli, wood, or oud… If you’re looking to impress visitors to your home, the entryway is an effective place to spruce up the décor.
• Lighting: Lighting should be multi-source, to add depth to any area of the home. Lighting carries ceiling, wall, table, and floor lamps and makes a great design statement, allowing it to enrich the colors and texture of the décor.
• Gypsum decorations: Gypsum decorations on the ceiling are a relatively easy way to make a home look more luxurious. However, gypsum decorations should be chosen in a way that matches the style of the house and the furniture. Intricate decorations look great for an apartment located in an old building, but this addition is not suitable for a contemporary apartment, which makes it necessary to choose “clean” moldings to frame the ceiling, in proportion to the door and window frames.

Luxurious living room

• Wall decoration: Similar to the way the ceiling is decorated, dressing the walls with some material (wood, marble, hand-painted wallpaper or French-style paneling) makes a big difference in the look of the decor.
• Decorative colors: One home decor idea to make it look luxurious is to use light neutral colors for both paint and furniture, making any space appear larger than it actually is. White, cream, sugar, cream, beige, or light gray are all good choices, but the accent color is carried by the accessories. Another idea is to move the furniture away from the walls by a few centimeters (20 centimeters), which will make the space feel large and luxurious. In addition, the console table can be placed behind the sofa.

• Huge mirror: In addition to creating the illusion of a larger space than it actually is, the presence of a large mirror makes any room appear brighter, as it reflects any light. Ideally, install the mirror near a window, so that as much light as possible bounces around it.
• A large-scale mural: Whether it’s a photograph or a painting, a large-scale mural in an architectural space can add drama to a living room or parlor, as well as serve as a focal point in the decor.
• Hand-painted wallpaper: Give your limited space living room or lounge a luxurious feel by wrapping the walls in hand-painted wallpaper for a timeless decorative look.
• Gold accents: Accessorize your interior with gold accents through items such as a light fixture, an accent piece of furniture, a mirror frame or any decorative accessory: A light fixture, an accent piece of furniture, a mirror frame, or a decorative accessory.
• Houseplants: They fill empty corners and add life to the home, especially when you choose plants that are large enough to fill the space. The choice of tubs for plants is just as important as the plants themselves.
• candles: Luxury in décor is all about attention to detail, comfort and appeal to the senses. Scented candles add elegance and sophistication to any interior space.
• curtains: Simple but powerful decorating ideas to make your home look luxurious include paying attention to curtains and curtain rods. Curtain rods that are hung above the windows create the illusion of high ceilings for those sitting indoors, while curtain rods that are hung above the windows create the illusion of high ceilings. When it comes to curtains, it helps to choose several layers of fabric for the curtains, each of which extends along the wall (not just the window area).
• Carpets: Choose a large rug for the floor.

In addition to the entryway, living area, and parlor, it’s worth spending on guest bathroom decorations to upgrade the space, no matter how small it is. Buy luxurious towels for your guests, made from organic cotton, and decorate with the right plants, keeping the bathroom’s humidity in mind. Begonias and ferns work well, as they thrive in changing conditions. You can also opt for orchids, a plant that adds a touch of color and unexpected elegance.

Choose hand-woven jute baskets in different sizes to create a cozy atmosphere and a luxurious bath mat.
