1. Decorative Mirrors
Adding mirrors around your home gives your space more depth and sophistication whilst also making a room feel larger. Having decorative mirrors that don’t do TOO MUCH adds a beautiful touch.
TOP TIP:
Never go for the mirrors that look basic or vintage. I’ve noticed, going to small businesses to find one of a kind mirrors are best, they are rare and also have a range of designs.
2. Crown Molding
If you’re unsure what crown molding is; it is like a skirting board but for your ceiling and other places! Installing crown molding is one of the best luxury ideas that gives any room that elegant touch, creating a seamless transition between your walls and ceiling.
You can get this professionally done but if you have the time I recommend trying this out yourself, you can purchase your own flexible molding and put it wherever you feel like!
3. Statement Lighting
Grab some extra stylish lighting fixtures to create a certain mood/ setting, which can be different in every room!
Having statement lighting pieces around your home will 100% elevate the overall ambiance.
4. Velvet Accent Pillows
So who doesn’t like velvet?? Fair enough if you actually don’t like it but come on, you’ve got to admit it, when you see anything velvet it gives you rich vibes!
Adding plush velvet pillows to your home instantly gives a luxurious feeling to your furniture, you could have the most basic sofa but as soon as those velvet pillows are added, so is the sofa’s value!
5. Fresh Flowers
This is one of the luxury ideas for your home and for you! I know some of you reading this probably would love the thought of having fresh flowers in your home consistently but nobody does this for you.
Well we’re gonna do it ourselves! Regularly buy fresh flowers, switching between colours and types of flowers to bring life and vibrancy to your home. (Also bringing YOU the joy of enduring these beautiful flowers every day)
TOP TIP:
Idc if you guys wanna call it cheating but I call it budget friendly lol, once you’ve found a certain flower type & colour that suits your home, buy a fake plant so it has longevity but also mix and match around the house, some fake and some real so you still have that fresh feeling / smell!
6. Quality Bedding
Even though other people don’t tend to see our bedrooms, we all know beds are a massive part of our lives, having a luxurious sleep means having luxurious ideas to ensure your sleep is luxurious! Uhhh what a life.
Upgrade your bedding to high quality sheets and a decent quality comforter for a hotel-like feel. These things don’t have to be an expensive investment, just do your research, remember what we said earlier, velvet gives rich vibes and so does silk!!
7. Framed Artwork
Ahh art! Choosing art as one of your luxury ideas has got to be one of the most fun things to do.
You can choose from the most abstract pieces, to more basic pieces and as long as you finish it off with displaying it in a beautiful sleek frame it’s gonna automatically give you that luxury home!
8. Indoor Plants
Before you skip this one, when I say plants I mean greenery, not actual coloured flowers!
Introduce some greenery to your home and tap into nature, indoor plants promote a sense of luxury and tranquillity.

11. A Well-Organised Bar Cart
Bar carts are so cute! If you have guests often and you like to host events for your friends at your house a bar cart is calling you!
Decorate your bar cart or make a small investment in a luxury cart for all occasions and main thing, make sure you keep it stocked up with a back stock waiting, now if that doesn’t shout luxury idk what does!
