Choose a statement sofa

Furniture is an integral part of living room design and your sofa is the standout piece. This should be one of the main focal points in this room, so you need to ensure that you have a luxury sofa that can stand up and be accounted for. Choose from various designs that suit your particular style such as a corner sofa or a curved sofa, but ensure that your sofa is bold and high-end. You want people to ask questions about it, marvel at the shape/design and - ultimately - feel a little jealous.

Draw attentionto your furniture with cushions

Start using cushions in your living room as an accessory for your luxury furniture. Whether you have one sofa, two sofas, a sofa and an armchair - it doesn’t matter. Adding cushions with stylish designs and contrasting colours will make your furniture pop. It drives more attention to these pieces, further amplifying the luxury sensations this room starts to generate.

Add a vitrine for decorative purposes

Vitrines are glass display cabinets that are almost exclusively found in luxury living room settings. While a cabinet can be used as storage, the main purpose of your vitrine is to decorate and further enhance the luxury elements of this room. Choosing the right vitrine is the first step, but the second step is deciding what to place inside it.

This is a great place to put some glass ornaments, antique vases, plants, books, crystal ornaments - the list goes on and on. The beauty of a vitrine is that you don’t have to clutter up your living room with these decorative things. They stay inside the case to minimise clutter but improve the overall aesthetics.

 

 

Place a statement coffee table in the center of your room

The sofa isn’t the only statement element you need in a living room. Every single luxury living area must have a luxury coffee table. Not only that, but it has to be one that truly stands out. You can find basic wooden or metal coffee tables, but they hardly attract attention or envy. Instead, you want something with a unique design that sits in the center of the room and becomes a talking point.

 

While your coffee table itself is a great decorative piece, it can also be accessorised with things like a big coffee table book, some potpourri, or even a big luxury candle.

 

Incorporate a fireplace

Whether it’s a real one or an electric one, a fireplace will add serious luxury elements to any living room. The mere mention of a fireplace will automatically make you think of a fancy home. Indeed, they are the norm in big Tudor or Victorian houses. The most expensive homes on the market all have fireplaces because they add so much to the overall interior design.

 

If you’re going to make a big investment in your living room, a fireplace should be near the top of your priorities. Choose a grand style that dominates the wall it’s placed on and accentuates the high-end feel of this living space. From here, accessorise the fireplace with large candle holders to stop it from feeling too bare.

Get a big piece of wall art

Wall art feels at home in a living room. You’ve got big walls without much on them, and this can make your living area feel incredibly empty. While you don’t want to clutter them up, hanging a big piece of wall art on one of the main walls will definitely add to the interior design of this space.

 

You can opt for any type of art you like, but something in a large frame will generate a very luxurious feel. The frame itself will complement the art and leave nobody in doubt that this is an extremely expensive-looking living room.

Add a stylish TV Cabinet

Every living room has a TV, but the stand can let you down at times. The rest of your room might look luxurious and modern, but the stand sticks out like a sore thumb. So, add something big and stylish to the living room that gives you the practical element of a TV stand, but also delivers big in the interior design department.

Decorate the floor with a luxury rug

Luxury rugs pair super well with laminate or composite floorings in a living room. If you don’t have a carpeted floor, then a rug also brings the comfort element to the table. Get a big rug that can fit under your coffee table and sofa to tie the room together. The design of the rug should be bold and magnificent. You want it to be a contrasting colour to that of the flooring in this room, further helping it pop.

Opt for different lighting options

Your living room shouldn’t have one lighting option if it wants to be very opulent. Instead, you need a combination of lighting options that you can use in different scenarios. A statement piece of luxury lighting in the centre of the room can brighten the entire room when needed. But, it can also be beneficial to have little wall lights or lamps that illuminate dark corners. You could even opt for a small light above your wall art to shine down on it and bring out all the different colours in the piece.

 

With these tips, you are in the perfect position to create a luxury living room in your home. You want to put something together that looks expensive and lavish. The ideas above certainly do this, ensuring that your living room conveys a sense of grandeur.
