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.
