Luxury holiday style
Humans crave indulgence and comfort, and holidays are a time to dive into all of that – lounging, eating out, and fulfilling passions that top up our cup.
It is why we seek, or strive to seek, luxury apartments, hotels, and baches when we head on holiday. Psychologists say these gorgeous spaces we stay in for only short periods become catalysts for creativity and inspiration, as we discover elements and objects we love to live with. Upon returning to our humble abode, ideas spark until we finally inject those things into each space.
The truth is, what we often love most are the loud, statement-making pieces or landscape elements that feel too risqué to do at home. Towering plants in bold pots, avant-garde architecture, or multi-functional yet entirely luxurious constructions. Whoever said we should not bring this daring design mindset into our own homes?
According to leading landscaping and interior design experts, it can be done without over-cluttering or overpowering your current space, just consider two tricks of the trade: purpose and proportion. The practicality of your idea, and how it will fit within the scale of your space, are what landscape and interior designers encourage the planning of beforehand.
