Most design styles feature a touch of luxury, so what makes for true luxury design? It’s the magazine cover you’re dying to recreate, the celebrity home you’re lusting after – luxury design is all about designer statements and endless glamour. It’s a fine line between enviable luxury design and over the top opulence, here’s our top tips for creating the ideal balance.
Metallics and marble
Many people shy away from metallic and marble accents for fear they’ve become overly glamorous or tacky. Used with a subtle hand, these materials can add the finishing touches of luxury to your space. Think golden faucets and marble side tables – the kind of small inclusions that can be very powerful.
Wild wallpapers
You can go big and bold in luxury design. Patterned wallpapers add extra oomph to any room, from a petite study to a luxury-style kitchen. Bold wallpapers can be intimidating to home stylists, so you may wish to enlist professional interior decorators for help.
Feature furniture
Too many pieces of luxury furniture is like too much chocolate; a taste overload. Instead, focus on large feature pieces that will accentuate the space. A high-quality, oversized velvet sofa will have just as much impact as a whole lounge suite without the sense of clutter.

Classic antiques
Many elements of luxury design stem from the art deco era and quality handcrafted furnishings of yesteryear. Seeking out amazing antiques will elevate your luxury space and give it a feeling of history.
