A beautiful home deserves a beautiful interior. Have you purchased a ‘fixer upper,’ or just want to modernize your current home? There are plenty of upgrades and renovations you can do to achieve a really high-end finish. This allows you to fully personalize the space and turn it into something that reflects your style and personality.

If you’re not sure where to start, companies like Million Dollar Makeover offer full renovation services. Alternatively, you could carefully plan each room yourself, researching each different piece you want to bring in. You could even use a computer program to see how it will all look together before splashing the cash. Regardless of the style and colors you pick, here are some of the things that will make a home look more luxurious every time.

Smooth Walls

Smooth, freshly plastered walls with immaculate paintwork give a really high-end finish to a home. If yours are worse for wear with cracks, grooves or covered in layers of old wallpaper, it’s time to update. You may be able to get away with carefully removing any wall coverings, filling gaps and cracks and sanding. But for the best finish, getting in a plasterer to skim over everything is your best bet.

Chandeliers

Good quality light fixtures are a must in any stunning home, and you can’t get more luxurious than chandeliers. Go with a size that’s proportionate to the room. Too small and it will look a bit lost, too big and it will swamp the room and could look silly. Get it right and they will look amazing. You could consider chandeliers for living and dining space and even large hallways for a grand entrance. Chandeliers can even look good in kitchens.

A Great Front Door

Your front door is the thing that will make the very first impression to visitors in your home, so make it a good one. If your door is solid wood and still in good condition, you could sand it down and paint it a gorgeous color. If it’s worse for wear with no chance of it being revived, consider having it replaced. Finish the look with good quality house numbers, hanging baskets either side and a welcoming doormat.

High-End Floor Coverings

Nothing will bring down the look of a home quicker than shabby carpets, old laminates and peeling vinyl. Good quality floors cost a lot up front but will last for years to come. Go for solid wood or a high-end material such as stone or marble tile for an impressive finish. These types of floor coverings are really hardwearing and easy to clean. Unlike carpets, they won’t harbor stains or smells so are perfect for high traffic areas. Save carpets for bedrooms, and have a ‘shoes off’ policy to keep them hygienic and in good condition. A more expensive carpet will give you a thicker pile, and a softer and more plush feeling underfoot. Perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your home.
