How To Add A Touch Of Luxury To Your Living Room

Your living room is a special room in your home – it’s where you’ll spend a lot of time, it’s where you’ll want to be able to relax, it might be where you enjoy time with your family and friends, or perhaps where you get to indulge in your hobbies. Living rooms are fantastic because they’re just so versatile – you can eat there, sleep there, play games there, do exercises in there, and so much more; if there’s one room in your home that can be used for anything and everything, it’s the living room. 

So it makes sense to want that room to look as good as it can, and although that’s going to be different for everyone because everyone has different tastes when it comes to their interior design, luxury is potentially going to be on your must-have list. After all, if you can make your living room a luxurious space, you’re sure to be ticking a lot of boxes. So with that in mind, read on to find out how you can add a touch (or more than a touch, if you prefer!) of luxury to your living room so you can truly enjoy that space. 

Start With Statement Furniture 

What’s the best mantra to bear in mind when you’re trying to make your living room more luxurious? Well, there are a few to consider, but one that’s sure to help you is to remember that luxury begins with quality – that’s why investing in statement furniture pieces is a great idea; it could be the key to setting the tone for your living room as long as they’re great quality items. 

You need to be looking out for plush sofas, oversized armchairs, perhaps sleek chaise longue, and maybe a plump footstool, among other things – the important thing is to buy furniture you’re going to use, otherwise, no matter how luxurious it might look, it’s going to be a waste of money. Whatever you buy, make sure it’s upholstered in sumptuous fabrics like velvet or leather, and it’s also great to pick furniture with extra details like ornate legs or metallic accents – they add some visual impact and a level of sophistication you won’t get elsewhere. 

Layer With Luxury Textures 

So once you’ve got your furniture in place, what’s next? Well, one idea could be to add some layers of luxury textures, which is sure to give you some added luxury in your living room – and ideally it will make things a lot cozier as well. Layering different textures literally adds depth and dimension to the space, so it’s going to feel more opulent, but also more inviting – what could be better? You really would have the best of both worlds if you were to go down this route and try adding layers to various surfaces. 

One easy way to get started is to put a rug on the floor. We don’t just mean any old rug – we mean a thick, soft, fluffy one, so when you walk on it, your feet sink into the lovely pile. That’s an especially good idea if you’ve got wooden floors, or perhaps tiles on the floor, but even with a carpet an extra layer of softness is definitely not a bad idea. Another easy way to add layers is to put soft throws on your sofas and chairs, and to add some silk or velvet cushions to your seating. Whatever you do, make sure there’s a definite tactile element so you add some interest and make the room look even better. 

Install High-Quality Wallpaper

One thing that can easily be overlooked when you’re trying to make your living room more luxurious, but that can really make a difference as soon as you – and anyone else – walk into the room is wallpaper. If you choose high-quality wallpaper with interesting patterns, just like you can find here, you’ll add another layer to your room, but you’ll also make it more interesting to the eye. And if you can make sure the wallpaper has a luxurious look to it, you’ll finish the entire interior design idea off perfectly. 

The great thing about luxury is that once you see it, you know it, so by browsing through the different types of wallpaper you could pick from, you’ll soon come across patterns and colors that look more luxurious than others. You could opt for a subtle damask print, for example, or something with a geometric pattern, or maybe a metallic design that shimmers in your living room. Whatever it is, even just one wall covered in gorgeous wallpaper can be enough to elevate your living room and make it the most luxurious space in the house. 

Brighten Up With Elegant Lighting 

You’ve got lovely furniture, layered areas, and stunning wallpaper and your living room is looking luxurious to say the least. What’s next? Well, if you want to be able to see things properly all the time, you’re going to need lighting, otherwise all your hard work will go to waste once the sun goes down. 

Proper lighting can completely change the way a room looks in both a positive and a negative way, so you need to really think about the way you’re going to light things up to ensure you’ve got good results and you don’t ruin the design ideas you’ve already put in place. One great idea is to go for statement lighting like a big (or as big as your room will allow) crystal chandelier or some floor lamps that look more like sculptures and art than a light – you could even choose to have pendant lighting if they’re a little more glamorous than the usual style you’d find elsewhere. 

Once the lights themselves have been installed, it’s often wise to add dimmer switches to the room or, if you prefer, layered lighting, so you can change your lighting style as you need to, depending on precisely what you’re using your living room for. In that way, it’s not just a luxurious space, but a completely functional one as well.
