10 interior design tips for your luxury home

Every Brookworth home is designed to feel luxurious from the moment you enter, combining considered interior design and layout with premium details that set your property apart. But there’s always space to make your interior design even more stylish.

To help, we’ve used our unique design knowledge to curate ten powerful interior design tips, so you can enhance the luxury feel of your Brookworth home and build on the clean, elegant sense of style that comes in every Brookworth property.

1. Install large mirrors to emphasise space

While Brookworth homes are designed for ample space and open, airy feel, mirrors are a powerful way to create the illusion of even more space. A large-scale mirror can also bounce natural light around your room and break up larger empty walls to add more warmth and character.

2. Create a statement entrance to your home

Whether you’re receiving guests or returning home after a day out, a statement entrance sets the tone for everything else in your home. That’s why Brookworth Homes use handmade front doors and beautiful solid wood staircases, which are easily accented with your own furniture and decoration.

3. Incorporate statement rugs to unify space

Rugs add instant warmth and comfort to a room, especially on wood floors. Our top tip is to use rugs to unify and segment space, giving each part of your environment more identity and purpose. A large rug that extends from your sofa to beneath a coffee table demarks your space to unwind and relax. A longer runner in your entrance leads people on a journey from one space to another. However you use rugs, we recommend selecting durable, stain-resistant options that look their best for longer. Vintage rugs can offer a budget-friendly alternative to more expensive choices.

4. Integrate nature with indoor plants

Indoor plants have a transformative impact on any home. Where clean, minimalist design might emphasise crisp lines, indoor plants bring a contrasting sense of shape and colour to your environment. It’s this sense of contrast that leads us to create large patio doors and bring natural light into your home wherever possible.

Live plants enhance your aesthetics but also purify the air and make a space feel more alive. Some of our interior design experts’ favourite plants are tall fiddle leaf figs and bright orchids, both adding a sense of luxury.

5. Consider the impact and effect of colour

Using colour effectively to enhance your interior design can be challenging. When designing our show homes, Brookworth designers find a starting point in a single piece, from artwork to furniture. Then, they choose complementary or tonal shades around it, giving a sense of cohesion.

If you’re introducing new colours, remember to consider room size: spacious living areas might call for a wide-reaching palette, while smaller spaces benefit from keeping it simple with just three harmonising colours.

6. Choose furniture that combines comfort and elegance

When it comes to furniture, try to find a balance between clean lines and timeless design elements, alongside plush, cosier pieces you can relax in.

It’s also important to consider size; generally, a combination of large statement pieces and smaller items works well. In a Brookworth show home, our designers always use appropriately-sized furniture that suits the room – not undersized pieces that artificially make spaces look larger. This makes them a great place to get inspiration – you can find out more about our show homes here.

7. Light your spaces sympathetically

Lighting is a vital part of luxury interior design because the shade, intensity, and colour of your lighting affects everything else. Your lighting options will determine how you perceive colours, where your attention is drawn, and how usable your space is.

At Brookworth Homes, we equip our properties with the latest innovations in lighting, including smart home functionality to intelligently change lighting throughout the day. This automation, combined with our considered blend of ambient, task, accent and layered lighting, means you can shift the feel of your space to suit your mood.

8. Add art and accessories

Our two decades of developing luxury homes has shown us that every detail matters. Your art and accessory choices can meaningfully enrich your home.

Carefully selected pieces of art can help to create focal points within a room, inspire your other decorative choices, and introduce more of your own personality and taste. Decorative items like cushions and candle holders add a touch of sophistication.

9. Give your bedding the premium touch

There’s little more luxurious than a premium bedroom – and high-quality, premium materials like Egyptian cotton, silk, or linen play a vital role.

Brookworth bedrooms are designed to support this elegant feel, providing ample space and an abundance of natural light. Investing in luxurious bedding is a simple way to transform your bedroom, giving your sleep experience a five-star hotel feel.

10. Keep wires out of view

Luxury interior design isn’t just what you add - it’s what you take away. Even the most seasoned interior designers face the challenge of hiding everything that makes your home functional, from TV connections to plugs and charging points.

In the Brookworth design process, we provide power, TV, and charging points throughout your home, discreetly located in the places you’re most likely to need them. This results in fewer visible wires and, ultimately, less visual clutter to achieve an expensive-feeling and high-end interior.

Creating a luxury feel for you to build on

A key part of the Brookworth Difference is the way we anticipate your needs and bring them into our decision-making process early. Long before a property is built, we’ve carefully considered how your home can deliver an elegant, premium feel – so you’ll be working with a strong foundation and stylish architectural features, not trying to create a sense of luxury from scratch.

Using our commitment to care and quality, we make sure every Brookworth home is on the path to sophistication.
