Create a Luxury Leicester Home

Adding a little luxury to your Leicester property does not have to cost a fortune, making it perfect if you want to put your stamp on a new home when you first move in or you want to help us to sell your home quickly and at the best possible price by making interiors look as elegant as they can.

Stylish Accessories

Metallic accessories can instantly add style to any room. How about a silver drinks tray on a sideboard or a large statement mirror, which can also make rooms seem bigger? You can complement this with hints of ‘Greenery’, the current Pantone Colour of the Year, and bring the outdoors in with a statement plant.

Just be careful not to over accessorise, however, especially if you have enlisted our help to sell your Leicester home. Whilst adding a touch of elegance can really improve the appeal of your home, you also want potential buyers to be able to visualise how they can make your home their own, and you don’t want to impede this process by hitting them between the eyes with your own personal statement style.

Decadent Fabrics

Luxury fabrics in a range of tones, textures and finishes can add a luxury hotel feel to your rooms. Add tactile fabrics to your sleeping spaces and sumptuous materials to inject warmth in living areas. Even your bathrooms can benefit from this idea if you opt for soft thick towels hanging on the rails.

Arty Additions

Spare cash can be hard to find when you have just moved house, but you won’t need a second mortgage to instantly personalise a room in your new home with the addition of a family ‘wall of fame’. Spray old frames with metallic paints and mix them with dark wooden frames filled with family photographs. Position them together on a wall in a statement colour to create a sophisticated and on-trend look. Team this with a large feature sideboard to create a real talking point in a living room, dining room or kitchen.

Colour Choices

Painting walls can often be one of the first jobs you want to do when you move into a new home, and choosing fashionable neutrals can easily update a space and add a touch of sophisticated style. This year, combine metallics with on-trend neutrals such as praline, stone and greens.

Lighting Luxury

Good lighting is essential for creating a sense of luxury in a room. Remember to layer your lighting to create a look for every occasion with luxury lamps, statement pendants and well-placed candles. If you have just moved into a property, consider adding dimmer switches to allow you to control the light – and mood – in your rooms.
