Do you want your home to look more luxurious? Well, choose the right colors
The use of color is a fundamental component of furnishing and home interior decorating. Thanks to the correct use of colors, it is possible to personalize you home, making, for example, smaller rooms look and feel larger and more spacious; or transforming a large, cold room into a warm, welcoming "cocoon".
Using colors, it is also possible to add luxury and refinement without actually spending too much to do so.
So what are the most suitable color choices to make your home appear more luxurious with minimal effort? Let's check out some examples below:
1. Neutral beige
Beige is amongst the most popular of neutral colors, capable of adding warmth and brightness even to the coldest and darkest of rooms. It expands cramped spaces and creates the perfect neutral background to highlight unique artwork or furnishing accessories.
2. Dark green
A naturalistic color, and reflecting the growing popularity for bringing the outdoors indoors, dark green has calming vibes and encourages reflection. Traditionally used in gentlemen's clubs and libraries, green will add an atmosphere of peace and calm to your rooms, making them appear elegant and sophisticated.
3. Bold red

Red is a bold, strong color and has always been associated with wealth. In the right shade, red can add elegance to your rooms. Choose red in a darker, warmer and deeper tone to achieve a more "regal" look.
4. Light coral
If you want to try a "regal" color, but don't want to go for red, you can opt instead for a light coral - as shown here. This color can be used in both bright and dark rooms and pairs perfectly with neutral or blue palettes.
5. Off-whites
The right shade of white can elevate the tone of any room. Instead of pure white, go for a shade of off-white, capable of warming the surroundings and making the home look and feel clean and elegant.
6. Dark grey

Different shades of dark grey will be perfect for adding depth to your rooms and giving them an expensive feel. Choose "colder" tones in combination with wooden furniture and floors to create an effective contrast. Chose warmer shades if you want to make your rooms to be more welcoming.
7. Light grey
Lighter shades of grey can elevate the mood of a room, while also increasing the resale value of your home in the future. Choose shades with dove grey and beige accents for a warmer and more welcoming effect, without losing the feel of luxury and elegance.
8. Blue

Blue is a versatile color suitable for enriching any space. Dark blue creates a calm and luxurious-feeling atmosphere, perfect for highlighting metallic finishes. Try it on the walls, but also on the furniture, for the upholstery and in the artwork.
9. Powder pink
Delicate and understated, powder pink can add personality to your rooms without overdoing it. Perfect for creating contrasts with furnishing accessories and artworks in brighter colours, it is an excellent color not only for walls, but also for ceilings and skirting boards.
10. Black
Black is the boldest color choice possible and is a show of courage. Very effective in bathrooms, black also works very well in living areas, adding depth and elegance. A bit like a black, cocktail dress, if used correctly, black can hide defects while enhancing attractive features.
