How To Add Architectural Walkthrough To Your Bedroom Without Redecorating

We are all being encouraged to be frugal and savvy in these days of economic doom and gloom, but what if we don’t want to be? What if we want to create luxury homes where we can escape the outside world? In truth, adding a touch of luxury to your home doesn’t require a bank balance bigger than Bill Gates’. As long as you know where to add the luxury you can use it sparingly and still make a big impact.

Here are a three tips on how to add luxury to your bedroom.

Luxury bed linen The 3D Architectural Walkthrough is the focus of the room, so as such should be turned into the star.

You don’t need to splash out on a new bed; you can start much smaller than that. By changing your bed linen and adding a few more cushions and a throw you can create a sumptuous tempting bed without any real, hard graft. House of Fraser offers a range of luxury bed linen including designs from singerturned-designer Kylie Minogue, and TV present Kirstie Allsopp. Luxury bed linen boils down to the fabric

and thread count. You want a thread count of over 200 and the closer you are to 500 the more luxurious your linens will be. Tactile materials such as silk, 100% cotton, taffeta, lace and velvet offer the kind of look and feel that is most lavish and opulent.

Plants Plants are nature’s sculptures. They create shapes and shadows and add colour and life to any room. To make a dramatic statement, go for large, structured plants such as yuccas, dracaena and palms. Add some colour with orchids, lemon, pepper, chilli, tomato and clementine plants. Plants are a better option than flowers because you don’t have to keep changing them. Plus, if you go for low-maintenance plants such as cacti, you won’t even need to water them that often. Have a look at the BBC’s plant finder to search for suitable houseplants.

Artwork If you don’t have the time, money or inclination to repaint or wallpaper the walls, an effective and straightforward way of adding colour is with artwork and photography. Whether you decide to put your children’s doodles onto canvas or purchase an original piece from a local artist you can create mood, drama and a real theme in your bedroom with art. Sepia and black and white photography adds a classic, historic feel; bold, bright artwork from your children and family portraits is fun and homely and landscape photography and water colours keep it fresh.
