Let's be honest for a second. We agree that everyone has always wanted at least a little bit of luxury and elegance inside our homes, right? Being in a sanctuary where sophistication is the main theme and that thanks to the luxurious details make us feel as if we were housed in a 5-star hotel… Yes, we have all wanted at least once in that. Let me tell you that this - or well, something like that - can be achieved. With just small changes and rational investment, you can create the space you've dreamed of. Here are some tips to help you through this process. Let us begin!

Opt for stylish furniture pieces

According to Amanda Pollard an acting editorial team leads for Houzz UK and Ireland, it is recommendable to opt for stylish pieces and mix them with pared-back hues But, what are stylish furniture pieces? This basically refers to modern furniture. These pieces have in common that their main purpose is to show elegance and simplicity.

To give you an example we have placed a picture below of the Le Corbusier sofa or how it is recognized; the LC3 sofa. This sofa was created by Le Corbusier who is considered the father of modernism. The leather aniline piece has metallic details around the whole chair, which adds a gorgeous shine to the room where it is based. With an LC3 sofa, you will immediately evoke the elegant vibe you’ve always wanted!

Plus! You can also include a contemporary edge with bold colors and patterns.

Choose neutral color palettes

When creating your elegant design remember that "less is more". In this situation, it is very appropriate to remind us of Mies van der Rohe's motto. By choosing simple pieces and colors, you can evoke that calm and luxurious energy that you love so much.

These are a few options you can opt for when selecting your color scheme:

  • Monochromatic color palette: you will create a soothing surrounder.
  • Analogous palette: opposite colors of the wheel. This is for those risky people that want to be more creative. But, be careful!
  • White/Beige/Gray: basic option if you are not a risky person.

Include ceiling curtains

This another important subject when decorating your living room in a stylish way. Most people like to add drapes to their living rooms if such is this case when selecting them to try to choose a color that matches the wall. In this way, you will avoid any strange contrast that is annoying to the eye. In order to add that elegant touch we want, remember to take your curtains to the ceiling, it doesn’t matter if you use blinds, drapes, or curtains.

Create cozy corners

Extra spaces for comfort are a “luxury”. You can do this with an elegant chair like a Le Corbusier chair -in case you select something similar to the Le Corbusier sofa, it will match perfectly-, and a floor lamp. By only adding these two elements you will create a comfy corner.
