There are plenty of aspects to look into when it comes to choosing your next home, and many of them have nothing to do with the house itself. But there’s one thing that can dramatically affect your quality of life as you enjoy your new house: the design concepts in real estate that you choose from when designing the house itself. Here’s how you can make sure you’re choosing luxury design concepts in real estate that will give you the perfect home!
The Elements of Style
The look of a room depends on multiple factors, including its size, shape, and function. But there’s one element that ties it all together: style. So let’s start there. What does style mean in real estate? Well, in most cases it refers to an overarching design concept—one that applies across the entire home or particular rooms within it. Elements of style can help you ensure that your home has cohesiveness from top to bottom (or top-left corner to bottom-right corner). A great way to achieve uniformity is by finding elements of style in common among a space’s furnishings and decorative accessories. You can then incorporate similar elements into other rooms as well as create a flow throughout your entire property or condo development project.
Use Elegant Materials
Make your home beautiful and pleasing with luxurious, high-quality materials like granite countertops and hardwood floors. Consider all of your design elements, from flooring to cabinets, when choosing your materials. If you have a modern taste, choose sleek black marble or concrete countertops; if you have an old-world sense of style, then rich mahogany may be just right for you.
Think Bigger, Bolder, and Classier
Looking for a bold new look for your space? When it comes to luxury real estate, more is better. Large-scale art pieces, glistening chandeliers and statement rugs can really make a statement. Play with scale—the bigger, bolder and classier you go, the more impact your design will have on your space and your property value.
Go Big on Windows
Using natural light is one of best ways to make your home feel open and inviting. To create a sense of spaciousness, make sure you let as much natural light into your property as possible. Exposed brick, dark floors, and neutral walls can detract from an otherwise luxurious space. When renovating or building a home, go big on windows—the bigger they are, the better. Windows that can be left open provide even more fresh air and exposure to light without sacrificing safety and security.
Geometric Patterns
The art of illusion can take a project from ordinary to extraordinary. Take for example, an ordinary building which doesn’t have that wow factor, but applying a geometric pattern, such as chevron or Moroccan tile patterns will make it stand out from the crowd and add value to your property. A bit of contrast and variety can really change a space and using paint effects is one way that you can achieve exactly that. Paint effects include creating architectural interest with creative wall finishes, manipulating shape through colouring or painting doors, frames and columns, or simply bringing back life into old paintwork by stripping off layers of old paint. Adding contrast can also be done by varying textures as much as colouring.
