Quality materials ensure that luxury homes are built to last.
Luxury—a word that appears so often in real estate brochures that its meaning has become confusing.
What does it mean to have a luxurious home? Do big homes and hefty price tags immediately translate into abodes of luxury and sophistication? If yes, does that mean luxury can basically be bought and is out of reach for the regular folks?
If you’ll ask the general market, many will probably say yes to these questions. If you ask a designer, however, luxury means something altogether.
Today, let’s explore what luxury truly means. This concept may sound appealing yet daunting at the same time. You’ll be delighted to know, however, that luxury is actually something within your reach if you know where to look.
The beauty of many luxurious homes comes from the comfort, convenience and wellness they offer to their users.
It’s not about the price tag
While many high end properties are marketed as luxurious, not all expensive properties are actually luxurious in reality. At the same time, you’ll be surprised to know that many custom-built homes for the wealthy sometimes make use of second-hand furniture, re-upholstered seating and other items that come at little to zero cost.
Luxury is not actually about the costs of materials, but rather the feeling that it evokes to the end-user. If comfort, security, health and well-being are all taken care of in your home, you can call your house luxurious. Beyond the feeling, however, luxury homes have common elements you can look out for.
Choice selection of materials
For one, luxury homes are built to last. Durable and non-toxic building materials are carefully selected to ensure that they won’t break easily. Anti-microbial and anti-viral elements such as copper and silver minimize the spread of diseases. Materials are chosen to deliver a quality lifestyle that will benefit residents in all aspects of life.
A city condominium will feel luxurious with its strategic location and good use of planning.
Wise use of space
Luxury architecture is also about using space well. More often than not, luxury homes have spacious rooms to allow users to feel relaxed and comfortable.
But even small condominiums become luxuries with the clever use of design strategies. High ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and loft areas can make limited space feel bigger than they actually are if implemented correctly.
Well thought out design
Design is the key to luxury homes. With a good designer, whether it is an architect, interior designer or landscape architect, you can be assured that your home will feel luxurious even without a hefty price tag.
You can call a project well designed if it goes beyond minimum standards to ensure the comfort and well-being of its users. Good circulation of air and light is maintained even in the smallest room of the house. You won’t feel claustrophobic or hot in any area.
Personalized amenities
Another characteristic of a luxurious home is that it has access to exceptional experiences. Whether it’s a swimming pool, a fitness gym or even a meditation area, amenities allow residents to experience joy and good health in various activities. While you may expect a breathtaking outdoor oasis to complement luxury homes, even a simple garden in the city will feel luxurious. If you are able to pursue your passions within proximity of your home, you are already living the best version of your life.
Amenities that allow you to pursue your passions also contribute to luxurious living.
Strategic location
One more aspect of luxury is the convenience it offers to users. While some may deem city dwellings quite tiny compared to their suburban counterparts, many workers in the city will gladly choose to live in limited spaces if it means less time stuck in traffic and commute. One’s proximity to essentials such as groceries, malls and schools is also important. While your condominium unit may feel compact to others, if you are able to walk to work, do your shopping in the evening and have enough time to spend with loved ones every day, it’s a luxurious life indeed.
Quality living upheld
Overall, luxury is not about the costs and look of your home. While many luxurious spaces are easy on the eyes, the comfort, convenience, security and durability of such homes are given more emphasis.
If you want to pursue luxury, it’s best to partner up with a developer that has a proven record of delivering quality homes for years. Consulting with design professionals also gives you the assurance that your home will be built according to standards of good design.
Moreover, these consultants will design your home with respect to your goals, ensuring that your house meets your personal needs.
Don’t be afraid to seek quality living by choosing to live in luxurious homes. You and your family deserve to live well, and a comfortable home will ensure your health, well-being and personal development. Explore your options and discover the world of luxury that awaits you today.
