Luxury, especially in design, can easily be replicated even on a modest budget. This is because there’s absolutely no deadline for luxury. If all that you can manage right this second is a beautiful new couch, then don’t worry about the rest. The good news is that waiting and choosing design details more intentionally will not only help you put together a truly beautiful, luxurious living room, but it will also help you to fully understand your design dreams for the space.

Patience is a luxury, and so are these top four luxurious design elements that will help you to transform your living room:

 

1.    Luxurious Seating

Seating makes up a huge portion of the visual space of your living room. It’s also the most tactile, meaning that your seating needs to work harder to live up to those luxurious standards you’ve set for yourself.

·       Leather Sofas

If you want a truly sophisticated, beautiful couch that draws the eye and screams luxury, stick with a leather couch. You can even choose a leather couch that can do more, as there are so many beautiful leather sofa beds available. This way, you can enjoy your luxury living space, all while having a secret space for guests when they stay over.

·       Velvet Couches

Another truly luxurious sofa type for your living room is a velvet couch. Now, when choosing velvet, it’s so important that you choose either a silk velvet (ultra luxury) or cotton velvet (mid-level luxury). This is because polyester velvet just doesn’t feel the same, and it can also charge up a lot of static shock, which are two things that you absolutely don’t want. A luxury, natural-fabric velvet, however? That’s the ultimate cozy experience.

·       Hardwood-Accented Seating

If you prefer more retro designs, then choose something with an exposed wood frame. Early- and mid-century furniture use these elements frequently. Just remember that they typically tend to be less “lounge around on the couch all day” comfortable. If you want the best of both worlds, then, get a modern fully covered couch and then save the hard-wood accented seating for your dining room or armchairs.

 

2.    Chandeliers or Statement Pendants

Lighting plays a huge role in luxury in your living room. It can also be expensive, so don’t be afraid to look for second-hand options. All you need is to take that chandelier or statement pendant to an electrician who can then safely install them. Once this is done, you have a beautiful statement piece in an otherwise dead area of your ceiling.

 

3.    Built-In Storage

Armoires and bookshelves can absolutely be luxury, but if you’re limited on space, they can eat up your available space before you know it. This is when built-in storage is so important. This can be something as easy as floating bookshelves, or custom build-in shelves that cover an entire wall, depending on your storage needs.

 

4.    Large-Scale Artwork

As for décor details that stand out as luxury, think big. Yes, gallery walls can look great, but if you really want your space to tie together and come across as luxury then use large-format prints, photos, and even real paintings (try making your own if you can’t afford to buy them from established artists yet).
