Luxury renovations have always been seen as something unattainable. However, what we consider luxury today may change tomorrow. Over time, trends vary and with them luxury, expensive or the opposite. If we think of the word luxury, others probably come to mind such as: exclusive, expensive, style, unique, privilege. This word is closely linked to privileged people, not everyone has the purchasing power to be able to buy luxury objects.
But… Objects aside, let’s get to where we’re going.
What is a luxury renovation?
We refer to a luxury renovation when it follows a line of innovation, creativity, quality, design and a long etc.
Materials, fabrics, floors, appliances, lighting, distribution, must be taken into account as they will not be the same as in a renovation that we can consider “normal”. The spaces that we achieve with this type of renovation are unique, special because they may look like another but they will never have the same pieces.
In other words, both materials and spaces must “breathe” class. Just watching them you have no doubt that you are in a luxurious environment. However, we know that renovation is linked to interior design and interior decoration, which is what we like most at Kaleidoscope. That is why we want to give you some keys to make your space seem more luxurious.
Keys or elements that are part of a luxury renovation
It never hurts to know the current trends of all kinds of renovations, in fact, we recommend that you do not only look at the trends of 1 style. Get to know all the possible trends and styles that you can, in this way you will be able to specify much more what is yours, what your tastes are. You may like one space in one space and in the next room you may like a different one.
Below we are going to mention some elements closely associated with luxury renovations:
1- Marble floors
Marble is a material that comes from a compact rock that is formed from limestone rocks. This makes its qualities in terms of aesthetics elegant. A key element in marble is the combination of several of them, it will bring an incredibly luxurious sophistication to your home.
Without a doubt, it is one of the most sought-after stones in luxury renovations.
2- Large windows
Walls make spaces much more closed and dark. As we already commented in the blog “Renovate floor and remove hallway: How to do it?” the “Open concept” spaces are the most trendy at present and that is why we propose large windows to separate luxurious spaces
3- Oak wood floors
Another of the most commonly used materials in luxury renovations is natural wood for floors. The appearance and color depend on the type of wood being used. Each type of material will provide a different appearance and color, they also have different levels of resistance, finally you must take into account the natural grain of the wood, the design of the slats and the treatments that are applied.
4- Dare to mix
Luxury renovations, as such, also have a certain spirit of rebellion and differentiation. The mix of materials in these can help you reflect this. Example: marble surfaces combined with wood or stone. All in order to combine naturalness with sophistication. Neutral colors such as black, white, and different shades of gray are often mixed with metals such as brass or copper. In the end, no matter how much advice we give you on materials, something that is non-negotiable is that you have materials of the highest quality, which, on the other hand, are usually materials that are difficult to acquire.
- Marble
- Oak
- Aluminium
- Crystals
5- Maximum ventilation and natural lighting
The main characteristic of architectural design is originality, in this type of renovation the different and disruptive elements are the most striking.
This is easy to use in ventilation and lighting elements. Research other renovations, ask your interior designer for help, browse magazines, etc. We are sure that you will find disruptive elements that you will love to have in your luxury renovation.
6- Technology and luxury renovations
This element is currently the most demanded by clients who require a luxury renovation. Home automation allows you to open and close doors, blinds, windows, activate and deactivate alarms, appliances connected to the network, music, image and sound equipment, etc. In short, endless possibilities at your fingertips (never better said)
Now that you know the key elements in a luxury renovation, you should know that this is not the only thing you need to start with one of them. The planning and structure of the house are essential to be able to carry out your project.
