Renovating your home and want to bring a more high end and luxurious touch to your space? You’re in the right place. At Flat Hill Constructions, we adore luxurious fittings and all the trimmings, and we love working with homeowners to transform their homes into spaces that feel absolutely luxe.
Here are some of our top ideas to create a sense of grandeur in your home.
Lighting & its fixtures can make all the difference
In the bathroom: LED Strip Lighting
Obviously, there are so many lovely ways to add elegance to your bathroom with lighting. We love in-wall lighting, the classic downlight, or a beautiful statement pendant light in the bathroom
LED strip lighting can really bring your bathroom to life and create a luxurious and stylish aesthetic in the space.
It’s not the most practical inclusion, but it does make a big difference in the aesthetic of your bathroom. We’ve loved installing LED strip lighting around shower niches, behind mirrors (especially arched mirrors), and beneath floating vanities to accentuate these amazing bathroom features.
In the kitchen: Pendant Lighting
Pendant lighting can tie the style of your kitchen together, or it can simply act as a bold feature in the room. The size of your kitchen is important here. A large and bulky pendant light is going to look a little bit silly in a tiny apartment’s kitchen. The same will happen with a small pendant light in a large family kitchen.
When in scale with the kitchen, though, pendant lights can really pack a punch in the style and aesthetic of your cooking space. There are multilight pendants that are perfectly suited to modern and Hamptons-style homes. There are cord pendant lights — the kind with aesthetically pleasing bulbs hanging from them — these are amazing in industrial homes.
Then there are the classic pendant light options — lanterns, slim LED pendants, and the classic shade pendant. Each of these fits into your modern-designed homes with ease.
In the living room: Chandeliers & Low-Set Pendant Lights
Low-set pendant lights can add serious charm to your living room, as well as arc lights — which bring a slightly more architectural feeling to your home.
Chandeliers are another amazing way to add some elegance to this space. Chandeliers no longer have to be that typical mid-century crystal lighting variety. Today, there are so many amazing, modern chandelier options out there that offer minimalist designs with different styles to suit modern, contemporary, industrial, and even coastal chic homes.
Tapware can add a dash of luxury to your home
In the kitchen: Gooseneck Mixers & Pull Down & Pull Out Mixers are in
The kitchen sink — you spend plenty of time around your sink as you cook and clean and even prepare lunch for the following day. So a practical kitchen space with a lovely and deep inset sink is a must. Of course, you want it to look amazing, too.
When it comes to tapware and mixers, gooseneck mixers and pull down and pull out mixers are big right now. Not only do these look sleek and, with their different varieties, can suit a range of different home styles, but they’re also practical.
The gooseneck mixer combined with a nice deep sink makes washing those larger items like chopping boards and frying pans so easy. The pull down and pull out mixers are a dream come true for rinsing dishes off and simplistic kitchen cleaning.
In the bathroom: Brushed Brass & Matte Black Fittings are having their moment
There are some classic fixtures that instantly add a splash of luxury to a bathroom. Freestanding bathtubs, his and her basin sinks, and rainwater shower heads are some that come to mind.
Tapware is a small but massively impactful element in your bathroom that can really make a difference. We’re loving matte black tapware in contemporary and industrial-style homes, while for more modern Hamptons, or coastal chic homes, a lovely brushed brass adds a really elegant touch to these rooms.
Statement pieces make a big difference
Fireplace
Depending on your home, the access we have to construct within, and the extent of your renovation, a fireplace can be a really nice touch.
Of course, a fireplace doesn’t always have to be a large brick contraption with a chimney and all. Electric fireplaces are an amazing alternative to the traditional fireplace and still bring that same class and elegance — and warmth, of course.
Freestanding bath
A freestanding bath, particularly one that is deep and luxurious in and of itself, is an amazing way to add a splash of luxury to bathtime.
Whether you opt for an oval-shaped, angled, blocked, or footed style of freestanding bathtub, you’ll be sure to create a luxurious bathroom space.
Statement mirrors
A statement mirror can make all the difference in the aesthetic of your home. Whether it’s a beautiful arched mirror in the entry of your home or a uniquely-shaped mirror to adorn your bathroom basin — they make an impact.
We love statement mirrors in walk-in-robes, entryways, and bedrooms for a bold addition and to create the feeling of a larger space.
Elevated platforms
Elevated platforms are such a subtle way to add a point of interest to your home. Whether it’s in the bathroom, with an elevated platform for the bath space or as a unique way to create a separation between living spaces in a beautiful open-plan home — elevated platforms offer stylish luxury.
Let’s talk materials & textures
Consider the textures and the materials in your home and how they interact. Sure, white, glossy tiles are a beautiful way to create a clean and modern space. But how do you soften that effect to create the perfect, luxurious aesthetic in your home? A warm timber feature on the walls or a beautiful stone feature can soften the bolder and more crisp elements within your home.
