Dreaming of a bedroom that feels like a five-star hotel suite, but without the five-figure price tag? Luxe styling isn’t necessarily about spending a lot of money. Luxe styling is more about carefully chosen pieces that communicate the essence of luxe living. These are my top tips for easy styling a Luxe apartment, so it can become a sanctuary of sophisticated comfort.
Apartment living often means working with smaller footprints, but this is actually an advantage when it comes to creating a truly luxe space. The key is to focus on quality over quantity and to layer elements that speak to elegance. Here are my top tips for styling a luxe bedroom that feels both grand and intimate, perfectly suited for an apartment setting.
1. The Power of Plush: Embrace Velvet and Bouclé
Nothing says “luxe” quite like the sumptuous touch of velvet. It instantly adds depth, warmth, and a tactile richness that few other fabrics can match. Incorporating velvet is easy and impactful in an apartment bedroom. A single velvet throw pillow on your bed or an elegant velvet bench at the foot of your bed can transform the entire feel of the room.
Its light-catching sheen creates a dynamic visual interest that shifts with the light, bringing a dynamic elegance to your space. If velvet is too familiar for you, for a softer, cosier take on luxury, consider bouclé. For example curved bouclé bench, in our Luxe bedroom, introduces a cloud-like texture that’s utterly inviting and supremely chic.
2. Glimmers of Grandeur: Introduce Brass and Gold Accents
When it comes to materials, brass and gold are the undisputed champions of Luxe style. Their warm, metallic gleam adds a touch of sophistication and glamour that is classic and timeless. The beauty is you don’t need large, expensive pieces to make an impact. Focus on strategic accents:
- Lighting: A stunning table lamp with a brass base and a spherical glass shade can become a sculptural statement on your bedside table.
- Hardware: Swap out standard drawer pulls on your bedside table for sleek, brass handles. It’s a small change with a huge impact, instantly upgrading the look of your furniture.
- Decor: Even a simple brass-framed mirror or a small decorative tray can catch the light and add that coveted sparkle.
These metallic touches bounce light around the room, making even compact spaces feel brighter and more expansive.
3. The Refined Touch: Incorporate Marble and Terrazzo
Marble has long been synonymous with luxury, evoking images of grand estates and opulent bathrooms. You can infuse this sophisticated material in smaller, impactful ways.
- Tabletops: A bedside table with a subtle marble top or a marble-effect surface instantly elevates the entire vignette.
- Lamp Bases: Our curated sets often feature lamps with terrazzo bases. Terrazzo, with its flecked, composite stone look, offers a contemporary twist on classic stone, providing a similar sense of solidity and upscale appeal without the hefty price tag of solid marble. It adds visual texture and an organic, refined touch.
These stone elements provide a cool, smooth contrast to plush fabrics, creating a balanced and visually interesting space.
4. Intentional Layers: Rugs, Curtains, and Art
Don’t underestimate the power of layering to build a rich, luxurious atmosphere. Even simply layering, which is easy to do, can make your room feel designed.
- Rugs: A soft, understated area rug anchors your furniture and adds a layer of comfort underfoot. It defines the sleeping zone and adds a crucial textural element.
- Sheer Curtains: As you’ve probably seen, sheer curtains are a game-changer for apartment windows. They soften harsh lines, diffuse natural light beautifully, and add an ethereal, dreamy quality that feels incredibly luxurious, without blocking precious light in smaller spaces.
- Art: A striking piece of abstract art with gold accents (like the one in our Luxe Apartment Bedroom Set) above your bed acts as a focal point. It draws the eye, introduces colour and texture, and expresses your personal style.
By carefully selecting and layering these elements, you create a cohesive and opulent look that feels uniquely yours.
My mission is to make luxury accessible through my curated furniture sets, featuring pieces with all the key elements listed above. Such as velvet, marble, brass and lots of simple yet impactful layers. These top tips for easy styling a Luxe apartment are designed to help you achieve this look in your own home.
