   Make It Artistic

Artwork can make any space feel instantly sophisticated and elegant, however you need to make the right choices. Too many paintings without a coherent theme can just look cluttered and messy, so the key is to select a single statement piece. One large painting, perhaps on a feature wall or over the mantelpiece, is a great way to catch the eye and draw focus in your living room. You can often buy second hand pieces for reasonable prices, or if you’re a skilled painter, why not make your own? 

Artwork doesn’t just have to be on the wall. Sculptural pieces also work well in living spaces and create a dramatic visual impact. You can either opt for a classic ornament in a prominent location, or even a piece of statement furniture such as a coffee table made from a tree stump which has a practical function as well as an artistic appearance.  

2. Statement Textiles 

One wonderful way to make a statement in your living room and to instantly lift its status is to choose the right textiles to create an impression. A highly patterned rug in a minimalist space creates plenty of visual intrigue, while antique or vintage cushion covers will add a touch of class to your furnishings. The key to success here is to only use one dramatic piece in an otherwise plain room so that it stands out and is noticed.  

3. Luxury Fabrics

One of the easiest ways to make a room feel instantly more luxurious is to add some luxury fabrics. Depending on your budget, you can do this in a number of ways. You could go all out and invest in a crushed velvet or chenille sofa for a glamorous appearance, or you could simply opt for a velvet or faux fur throw or cushions to give a hint of sophistication without spending a fortune.  

Mixing textures is a great way to add extra luxury to your room. Pairing leather with velvet or satin with faux fur can create a unique look and feel to your space that will attract attention for all the right reasons.  

4. The Power Of Antiques

Antiques conjure up images of luxury living straight away, however there is no need to fill your room with vintage pieces. In fact, that could have the opposite effect, with the space looking uncoordinated and just plain old-fashioned.  

You can harness the power of antiques by investing in a single statement piece which will become a talking point among your visitors. This could be a decorative item, such as a clock or vase, or alternatively, it could be a practical piece of furniture such as a coffee table, sideboard or rocking chair. A piece which is visibly old and has a beautiful patina will give off a sophisticated air and yet can be bought for a reasonable price at a boot sale or flea market. 

5. Install Underfloor Heating 

There is nothing luxurious or glamorous about a traditional radiator. No matter how it may be hidden away in the room. Instead, consider installing an underfloor heating system. Nothing feels quite so wonderful as warmth coming up through the floorboards onto your bare feet. Furthermore your room will remain cosy and warm without an unsightly radiator.  

Underfloor heating systems can be installed over either floorboards or concrete surfaces and work well either under tiles or hardwood flooring. This is perfect for today’s contemporary living spaces which often make use of these hard surfaces instead of classic carpets.
