They have created award winning homes that are not just a treat to the eyes, but a dream to live in. Based on their expansive experience of designing apartments, villas and independent homes, they give us five design tips that we can follow in order to create a home that look luxurious:

1. Creating an efficient plan
The spatial planning of your home plays a key role in making it look luxurious. Ensure that there is ample natural light and ventilation circulating in the space as it makes the room look large, airy and pleasant. Apart from this, introducing volumes that create various scales and focal points further adds character and uniqueness to your home. This also helps you play with different materials, textures, finishes and lights that further enhances the opulence of your home.

2. Creating a tasteful material and colour palette
Once your spatial planning is in place, you must then consider the colour and material palette for your home. Be it earthy tones that comprise of deep browns, reds, leather or wood or a theme that is more modern and minimalistic which would include colours like white, grey and material like concrete finish, porcelain or terrazzo, choosing a theme that resonates with your style and expresses your aspirations will not only help you create a beautiful space, but it will also help you create a space you enjoy. Textures and colours that are carefully layered create a sense of depth in every space, which adds more character to your home.

3. Integrating natural elements in your design
Being close to nature is a relaxing experience for all of us and when natural elements are made a part of the design, it not only enhances the value of the space created but also makes it more interesting and relaxing as nature offers an ever changing canvas of colours, forms and textures. A reflection pool at the entrance or a small courtyard tucked into the living room- introducing nature in the form of interior planters or exterior landscapes where one is always in touch with nature can help you make your space look luxurious and relaxing to both visitors and residents.

4. Art that reflects your style
If you wish to make your home look luxurious, you must consider integrating art into the aesthetic of your home. Be it in the form of paintings or sculptures, adding art pieces that are unique and reflect your personal style will help you add an extra layer to the space while transforming its outlook. It could be art or knick-knacks that you have picked on your travels, or it could be art by your favourite artist, adding something unique makes the design look more personalised and tailored.

5. Opting for bespoke furniture
Luxury is often associated with comfort, style and a high level of personalisation. Introducing furniture that speaks of comfort and elegance while adding an aesthetic element to the space is a great way to make your space look sophisticated and elegant. Be it signature pieces by furniture designers you love, or furniture that is custom built as per your design, having something unique is surely going to make your home stand out!

We hope that these tips help you get started on your journey of creating a magical home for you and your family. While the best material and unique products surely make your home look more extravagant, it is mindful planning and personalisation to suit your style and needs that truly helps create a beautiful space.
