4 Ways to Make Your Home Feel More Luxurious

by Terry Kruse

Everyone appreciates the simple joy of a luxury hotel: the soft linens, the balcony, the nighttime cityscape. If you’re hoping to create that experience in your own home, it’s entirely within reach. Here are a few options to transform your home into the ultimate luxury experience.

Wall Sconces
Indoor lighting is one of the subtlest changes you can make to your living space in order to create a blissful ambiance. Science has proven that soft lighting empowers us by providing better sleep habits, more productive days and a mentally healthier state of being. Whether your tastes are classic Mediterranean, stark Scandinavian or rustic chic, you won’t have to search high and low to find a wall sconce that fits with your existing interior aesthetic.

An In-Home Spa
Rather than hurrying to book a last-minute spa appointment after a hectic weekend, invest in a spa space right in your own home. An increasing number of Canadians are opting out of the traditional spa experience and choosing instead to stay home. Unwinding in the comfort of your own space in a softly lit room designed to your exact specifications is the best way to reach peak relaxation.

Candles
Is there anything more romantic than candlelight? This gentle, warm lighting is reminiscent of a night out on the town at your favourite rooftop wine bar. It’s attainable every single evening when you come home from work, with the right display of candles. Scent plays a strong role in memory, productivity and relaxation. Choose from an almost endless selection of scented candles to create the perfect mood.

A Velvet Couch
You’ve probably seen them all over the pages of design magazines. They’re trendy but timeless, and they instantly add a touch of elegance and class to your home. Whether you prefer a traditional Lyre chesterfield or an Art Deco-inspired sofa, the softness of the velvet will instantly elevate the luxury look of your living room.
