Want Your Home to Feel More Luxurious? Read our Top Tips


Some people find it pretentious, but luxury can be a great way to bring a sense of calm to your space and help you love your home. At the same time, many of us are strapped for cash and it isn't always easy to afford luxury. Fortunately, some cheap things that you can do will help make your space feel more luxurious.

Tip 1: Let There Be Light

The right choice of light can do wonders for your home. During the day, you want to enhance the amount of light in the home. This makes the home feel bigger, which naturally makes it feel more luxurious. 

To increase the light during the day, make sure that your paintwork and wallpaper are neutral colours, preferably in shades of white and with an eggshell or satin Sheen.

Increase the amount of mirrors and reflective surfaces in the home to make sure that the light moves around freely. For example, you should think about buying additional mirrors and mirrored radiators, such as those in the MHS radiators range.

At night, it is all about mood lighting. To this end, stand-up lamps in every room can make them feel much more luxurious.

Tip 2: Make Sure the House is Airy and Smells Nice

When I had my building survey done, one thing that the structural surveyor said to me was that I needed to keep the windows open for 10 minutes every day. This is because it helps clean out the home of bad smells and create a clean crisp environment. 

Cleanliness and airiness are both adjectives associated with luxury, so it's well worth incorporating them.

Other things that you can do to help here is to buy air-purifying plants and use wax candle burners.

Tip 3: Cover Up Any Cracks

Many people freak out about cracks in the wall, but they're pretty much a standard in every house. Homes move and this will naturally crack the plaster, but not necessarily the foundations or the walls. 

If you've noticed some cracks, don't worry too much about them unless they are in the walls themselves and not plasterwork. Otherwise, Get an interior decorator in to tape over the cracks and then feather out the paint.

Just filling in cracks can you transform space if you have too many cracks in the home? This happened to ask recently. We had a few large cracks and hired a decorator to come and cover them up and it completely transforms the house. I had a valuation done before and after and the difference was around £15,000in the value of my property. 

Tip 4: Buy a New Radiator

A new radiator will bring light into a room. Go for a high-quality radiator, such as MHS radiators, and you will see just how much they help improve the feel of your home. They're not even that expensive. You can install an excellent radiator for as little as £400 all in. The difference it can make can be very dramatic indeed.

Following the tips above will help you to make the most of your home and make it feel more luxurious. The best thing is that they aren't too expensive to implement.
