Renovating your home can increase its market value and enhance your quality of life. For some renovations, you are almost certainly better off hiring a professional but many luxury home features can be installed relatively easily (and cheaply) to make your home more luxurious.
Here are some high-end home renovations and some simpler ideas that are popular in Orange County communities that you may want to consider.
Turn your bathroom into a spa-like retreat
Bathrooms are like personal sanctuaries, where you can relax and rejuvenate. That’s why they deserve special consideration during a luxury home remodel. Here’s how to elevate your bathroom with modern designs and fittings:
- Spa-style bathtubs and showers can enhance your bathroom’s overall aesthetic appeal.
- Adjustable lighting placed strategically in your bathroom can add sophistication and create a relaxing mood.
- Mirrors strategically placed can do wonders with how spacious they make the spa look.
- Vinyl-coated bathroom wallpaper blends seamlessly with any elegant interior design but works best in less moisture-prone areas.
- Vanity cabinets can be plain or ornate depending on the particular aesthetic of the spa.
- Benches are often overlooked in bathrooms, but even small spaces can benefit from them. They can serve as a comfortable lounging area or a place to store towels and toiletries, adding functionality and style.
- Towel rails, tissue holders, and soap pumps can add a finishing touch of elegance to any bathroom.
Design an upscale kitchen fit for a professional chef
The kitchen is where you cook, share meals, socialize, and entertain guests. Make it a luxurious home centerpiece with these interior fixtures and accessories:
- Kitchen countertops are practical and take up considerable space in your kitchen, so make them visually appealing. Opt for high-quality stone or engineered materials to add color and sheen to your kitchen.
- Lighting adds character. Install LED ceiling lights, pendants, or chandeliers.
- High-end cabinetry is a hallmark of a quality kitchen and home. They can be made of any sturdy material as long as the craftsmanship is of a high quality.
- Water-resistant and durable flooring materials are ideal for kitchens. Vinyl, tiles, concrete, and treated hardwood are all suitable options.
- Luxury sinks and faucets are accents that provide the finishing touch for any high-end kitchen.
Build a cozy outdoor entertainment space
Orange County has beautiful views, so whatever outdoor space you have, make the most of it. An outdoor entertainment area is ideal to host parties, watch a game, or just dine al fresco with the family. You can create an outdoor oasis perfect for enjoying the California sun with the right furniture, lighting, and plants. Here are some ideas to refresh your outdoor area:
- Modern lighting fixtures can make a world of difference to how you use your outdoor space. Too harsh and the outdoor space is unwelcoming. It’s about getting the balance just right. Using pendant lights, wall sconces, string lights, and lanterns can all help enhance your patio’s ambiance and improve safety.
- Stylish outdoor furniture creates a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. However, be sure not to leave outdoor furniture outside for prolonged periods without cover as the sun will fade colors.
- Outdoor speakers are an increasingly popular addition to the outdoor area. This can be used for parties but also solitary use when you just want to hear beautiful music as you watch the sunset.
