How To Design A Luxury Home That Feels Like A Vacation Retreat
Ahh, the thought of vacation. There is nothing like taking time away, and getting a chance to relax, rest, and hit the refresh button at an amazing hotel, resort, or spa. Because the thrill of staying somewhere new and having a getaway is an incredible experience, it can make it that much harder to transition back to everyday life. But, what if it didn’t have to be this way? What if it were possible to keep that vacation spirit alive by bringing all the comforts and amenities of a high hotel or resort into your home? New World Design Builders has completed many successful projects–including luxury home design on Long Island and Upstate NY. Let’s talk how about luxury home design. Here’s how you can design a luxury home that feels like a vacation retreat!
#1- Make Your Bathroom Feel Like A Spa
A clean, welcoming bathroom that is well stocked with fresh linens, towels, and toiletries sounds pretty astounding, right? What’s even better is booking a stay at a luxurious spa, complete with all the goodies you could ever want. This could include a stunning shower, updated finishes, candles, essential oils, high-quality soaps, you get the idea. Think about all that’s possible for what you can do to your own bathroom. That may mean upgrading your appliances like the shower head, or updating an old tub in favor of a soaking tub. On a day to day, make sure that the bathroom is stuffed with clean, fluffy towels, and plenty of other little gifts.
Candles, air diffusers, bath bombs, and so forth. Keep the fundamentals of minimalism in mind as only the bare necessities are found in luxury hotels. In addition to this, you will want to ensure that your bathroom remains spotless. Coloring is yet another important theme that you cannot forsake, either. White on white could work, as it represents the feeling of cleanliness and is arguably the pinnacle of class.
#2- Don’t Forget About Lighting
State-of-the-art hotel rooms are definitely designed with lighting in mind. It goes a long way in promoting feelings of safety and relaxation. In your bedroom and throughout all the rooms in your house that you want to feel like an oasis, pay close attention to lighting when designing your home. The ideas for lighting are countless, but for the sake of specificity, here are a few that you can glean inspiration from:
- Switching out your current line up of lamps or sconces with a clear design aesthetic
- Making your rooms feel warmer with lower wattage, swapping out bulbs, adding a dimmer, or opting for a cozy candlelight
- Consider natural lighting and how it can mesh well with your light fixtures and lamps in the room
#3- Refresh With Tropical Textiles
You can pair your rattan and bamboo with something tropical, tribal, or airy textiles for the ultimate resort experience. When done right, this can be the perfect balance of resort wear meets luxury furniture.
#4- Augment Your Outdoor Living Zone
One of the biggest benefits of luxury home design on Long Island and Upstate NY as compared to the city is the greater availability of yard space. Summer holidays are all about spending time outdoors! So get the most out of your outdoor living and entertaining zones by adding stylish shade and privacy solutions. Whether it’s outdoor awnings, plantation shutters, or blinds, what all of these accessories have in common is the ability to extend your outdoor living space or enclose an outdoor roof into an outdoor room to use, all year round. By having access to your own protected and private outdoor oasis, you will be afforded the freedom to dine alfresco, kick back with a good book, or lounge by the pool, in total peace and quiet. Just don’t forget about adding a comfortable daybed, hanging chair, or outdoor lounger to complete the space.
