You know that feeling you get when you walk into a boutique hotel, and everything is perfectly designed, grouped, and finished? Well believe it or not you can get that feeling in your very own home too, and it’s as easy as reading our clever tips below. Here are four ways to give your home that high-end feel…
Add Plants
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few years, you will have noticed that luxury spaces all have at least one thing in common. Of course, what we are talking about here is the trend for indoor plants that have taken the interior design world by storm.

Indeed, there are so many benefits in using plants in your interior decorating, as they create texture, and drama, as well as bring a welcome splash of colour. Then there is the additional opportunity of bridging in pots that match your decor as well. Choose large statement plants like Yucca to create a focal point, or accessorise smaller spaces with mini potted plants like cacti and succulents for a perfectly sophisticated but on-trend feel.
Use opulent fabrics
The fabrics that we choose for our interior decor can have a massive impact on the feel of our space. That means by using richer and more opulent textiles such as velvet, boucle, leather, and suede we can create a much more high-end look.
Of course, the only problem with these textiles is that they are among the most expensive options on the market, something that means choosing furniture covered in them out of many people’s reach.
Fortunately, there is a more budget-friendly way of utilizing such fabrics in your interior design, and it’s to find cushions and throws made from these textiles. Indeed, you can instantly lift a plain fabric sofa with cushions and throws made from velvet, achieving a very similar look.
Handmade furniture
Another way to elevate the interior style of your home is to invest in handmade, furniture pieces. This is because handmade pieces are created by skilled craftspeople and reflect the highest quality finish there is.
Indeed, you may wish to also consider made-to-order or bespoke pieces for your home. Although it’s best to educate yourself on the differences between these by reading articles like this defining handmade furniture terminology first. Then you will be in the perfect position to choose the high-end furniture pieces that will best suit your needs.
Accessorise with gold, brass, marble, and glass

Lastly, when going for a high-end look, it is vital to carefully consider the types of accents and accessories that you will use to complete your design. This is because even small touches of luxury materials such as gold, or brass-framed mirrors, trays, or picture frames can produce a more opulent look.
The same goes for marble features such as ornaments or tabletops, and for glass too if it’s used in the right way. Usually, this means opting for mirrored glass decorations for that truly high-end look. (But beware as too many mirrored surfaces or ones that you will struggle to keep clean and free of streak marks will have the opposite effect to the one you are looking for.)
