At Hayes Luxe Homes, we understand that true luxury isn’t just about price tags—it’s about thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship. While “luxe” is in our name, we focus on quality and style at any budget. Here’s how you can achieve a high-end look in your home renovation.
1. Elevate Cabinetry with Custom Detailing
For bathrooms and kitchens, repurposing existing cabinets can add value and character. Use high-quality cabinet paint and consider removing upper cabinets, and replacing them with floating open shelves made from raw wood. The addition of a feature in a natural material provides a high-end feel, especially when used to display showable items like glassware and mugs. If opting for new cabinets, stock versions can appear custom when paired with higher-end hardware in brushed brass or matte black for a luxe touch.
2. Feature Walls that Exude Style
We recommend a nickel gap installation for wood feature walls. Woods like white oak and maple provide a glam look and feel, while acacia or teak add a zen-like appeal. Install slats vertically or horizontally for different looks, or go bold on a feature wall with large-format marble slabs for a cosmopolitan statement.
3. Curated Lighting Creates a Luxe Atmosphere
Lighting isn’t just functional; it’s a design statement. Choose standout central pieces or artful wall sconces. Add dimmable switches to transform a space and feature the places where you added detail.
4. Thoughtful Material Mix
Mix quality materials with reclaimed elements for a bespoke look. Incorporate textures like river rock stone in showers or pair natural stone with wood accents. Textured plaster walls offer an old-world character reminiscent of historic European architecture, crafted with modern techniques that add depth without appearing outdated. This isn’t the sponge-painted, faux finish walls of the 80s; this is a texture material application that adds old-world character meets cosmo style, at a much lower cost than investing in stone.
5. Jaw-Dropping Flooring on a Budget
Opt for engineered hardwood for the rich appearance of solid wood. For entryways, bathrooms, and kitchens, large-format porcelain tiles can mimic costly natural stones.
6. Architectural Elegance in Unexpected Places
Simple yet substantial crown molding, tall baseboards, and picture-frame molding around windows can elevate a space. Consider creating custom niches for art or recessed shelving to provide functional customization.
7. Smart Space Planning
Open concepts benefit from distinct “zones.” You can define these with partial opague walls, partial glass walls, or acacia wood screens featuring vertical slats for a subtle division. This balances spaciousness with a sense of intimacy, perfect for modern luxury homes.
8. Spa Bathrooms Without the Spa Budget
Go beyond standard renovations by incorporating floating vanities and removing boxy shower bulkheads that date a home. Replace basic tiles with large-format porcelain to mimic high-end stone finishes. Enhance smaller spaces with luxe towel bars, exposed shelving, and hardware (even upgrade the toilet flush pull) in a consistent finish, such as matte black or bronze.
9. Strategic Use of Mirrors
Mirrors can amplify natural light and make rooms appear larger. Choose oversized options with clean-lined or curved frames, positioning them strategically in living spaces or hallways to elevate the overall ambiance.
10. Finishing Touches that Speak Luxury
For luxe in any budget, rather than custom everything, focus on custom features: integrated open shelving, lighting details, texture, and some added trim work. Custom features and thoughtful materials add intrinsic value to the property.
