Today, there are homes that are categorized as luxury homes. These properties are not necessarily mansions, but they offer owners the utmost luxury living experience. It is crucial to understand which elements characterize a luxury home before investing, because a high price tag alone will not put a property in this category.
What Makes Luxury Homes Phenomenal?
- Top-notch Kitchens
Most modern kitchens integrate functions, luxury, and style. Now is the time to transform basic granite into the most dazzling gourmet kitchens. Bold textures, rich hues and exotic materials – these are some of the qualities that make kitchens one of the most luxurious corners of modern luxury homes. In addition, spacious kitchens are timeless. They make whipping up culinary creations fun and easy, even if there is more than one cook.
- Natural Lighting & High Ceilings
Homes these days are all about natural lighting and open spaces. Create that luxury feel by incorporating high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows and doors to create a bright and airy feel to your home. Think about your block orientation when it comes to making the most of the natural lighting you have available, as this can make all the difference.
- Contemporary Flooring & Accent Rugs
Choose contemporary flooring options that create an opulent vibe to your home. Hardwood flooring, travertine tiles and marble flooring are all options that suit a luxury home. Adding some accent rugs help to soften the look of your flooring and create specific zones especially in open plan designs.
- Home Security System
A luxury home has plenty of things that can attract unwanted attention. In fact, high-end houses are the prime targets of burglars looking for a big score. Thus, home security provisions are one of the extraordinary elements of modern luxury homes. Most homes go beyond the simple alarm system. They have monitored systems linked to a 24/7 security professional at the provider’s office.
These systems can speed up the process of notifying authorities in the event of flooding, fire, and break-in. Also, they help reduce the incidence of false alarms.
- Smart Tech Features
A modern luxury home is outfitted with cutting-edge network-connected systems, equipment and appliances that can remotely and automatically be controlled. Some of the smart tech features in luxury homes today include motion sensor lighting, internet-connected security cameras, thermostats that adjust automatically, and curtains that open and close at sunrise or sunset. Convenience is what makes smart home features a must for luxury living.
- Custom Designed Dressing Room
The dressing room is an extension of the bedroom. A high priority for luxury homes is to provide owners a place to store and display high-end garments. A huge walk-in closet with proper lighting, mirrors and racks to display designer items is a must-have. Depending on your needs you can include specific elements like shoe and bag shelving, a comfortable seating area and compartments for watches and jewellery.
- Custom Spaces
No luxury home is complete without a room (or rooms) that reflect your own personal interests and passions. Think about what you love the most and design a room to meet that need. It could be anything from a climate-controlled wine cellar or library to a high-tech home gym or cinema-style theatre room. The world’s your oyster when you’re designing a luxury home.
