Fancy giving your home a luxury makeover in 2019? Here are five simple home décor essentials you should be investing in to add that luxury touch to your property.

1.) Exceptional-quality bedding

If you’re aiming for hotel-style luxury, what better place to start than by upgrading your bedding?

The bed is the number one luxury feature in a hotel room and it’s actually one of the most important features of the home too. So, it makes sense to focus your attention on creating the most comfortable, luxury sleeping experience you can. If you don’t have a large budget, simply upgrading your bedding can make a huge difference. Choose a luxury duvet, followed by soft, silky covers. Invest in ultra-comfortable pillows and add a decorative throw to the end of the bed. These little upgrades make a massive difference to how the bed looks and feels.

If you do have the budget, it’s highly recommended you also upgrade your mattress. The more comfortable and luxurious the mattress is, the better night’s sleep you’ll receive.

2.) Scented candles

If you really want to complete the luxury feel, scented candles are a must. They serve a 2-in-1 purpose, both adding a decorative element to the room, and filling it with a beautiful scent. You can use different scents in each room too. For example, you could opt for citrus-scented candles in the lounge and relaxing lavender candles in the bedroom. Adding candles to each room will really help to give the home a luxury feel.

3.) On-trend paint

There’s no better way to upgrade a room than to give it a fresh coat of paint. However, if you want to stick with luxury, it’s worth choosing an on-trend colour.

Just some of the latest colour trends you might want to focus on include Caviar black, dusty rose, turquoise and violet. You could give the lounge a warm, cosy makeover by opting for violet coloured walls. Or, give the bathroom a dramatic stylish upgrade with Caviar black paint.

4. Flowers

It is often the finishing touches of a room which really help it to look and feel luxurious and that’s certainly true when it comes to flowers. For best results, you’ll want to focus on fresh flowers, but artificial ones can look beautiful too provided you choose great quality. While all flowers can help to add luxury, the ones which ooze luxury include orchids, bonsai and roses.

5. Thick, well-made curtains

These days, many homes opt solely for window blinds, rather than curtains. However, while this is great for the minimalist look, it doesn’t really scream luxury. Thick, well-made curtains on the other hand can really transform the room, giving it an elegant, cosy and intimate feel. You don’t need to eliminate the blinds, just add a pair of thick curtains over them. This works especially well in the cold winter months.

As you can see, it’s easy to add a luxury touch the home using a few simple items of décor. The above are some of the best things to focus on if you’re looking to achieve an instant luxurious design.
