Sophisticated, stylish, luxurious and unique. These are some of the words that define a boutique home. From affordable to expensive, simple to extravagant, design is always the intrinsic element that makes it so specialized. These intricately designed homes aren't just modern and lavish. They can be simple and affordable. It is their design that emanates an elevated taste level and reflects an idea and intention that is often only found when traveling somewhere remote. I've collected some of the unique design details that are commonplace in these specialized homes. Here are 10 affordable and easy ideas that you can use in your own home to add a bit of five-star style to your everyday life.
1. Keeping It White
From white walls to white cushions and furniture, a white palette makes a space looked pulled together yet endlessly spacious. White accents add sophistication and simplicity.
2. Unique Light Fixtures
Whether modern, rustic or extremely minimal, light fixtures make a statement. They can exude a "we don't take ourselves too seriously" attitude or a "this home is all about relaxing" spirit. Statement light fixtures are unique details of every boutique abode.
3. Natural Elements & Woven Fibers
Eco-friendly and locally sourced natural elements are environmentally-conscious ways to incorporate a rustic and organic look. Tree trunks, baskets, natural fiber area rugs, wooden ladders, rattan and decorative accents taken directly from nature radiate relaxation and a spa-like atmosphere.
4. Statement Furniture Pieces
All it takes is one truly epic piece of furniture with a unique point of view to give an average room a whole new look. From the sleek Barcelona chair to the Eames lounge chair, they are timeless and classic.
5. Stacked wood piles
Logs stacked beside a Scandinavian stove or a modern fireplace can be gorgeous works of art. This accessible raw material adds a sculptural quality and creates as much visual interest as a beautiful painting.
6. Bold Art
One big piece of bold art can fill a room without taking up floor space. Colorful abstract art adds color and a modern and personal touch.
7. Pops of Color
Painted chairs, vibrant rugs and textiles cast an inviting homey feel. They can also add a whimsical touch and enliven an otherwise neutral space.
8. Natural linens and wools
Add a little "hygge" to your interior. Adding natural linens and woolen textiles exude a mood of coziness and comfort. True to the definition of the word, the design emphasis is focused on creating a space of contentment, consciousness and feelings of wellness. Something as simple as a linen curtain or a wool throw can transform a space into a relaxing retreat.
9. Found Objects
One of the most surprisingly common elements in boutique homes are found and collected objects. From artifacts and souvenirs collected from travels to books and accessories that reflect one's interests, they are thoughtful and personal touches that emanate a genuine sense of place.
10. Natural Wildflowers & Grasses
Clear or rustic vases filled with native flowers and grasses are common decor elements in these exclusive homes. They not only add a personal and heartwarming touch but they also reflect the natural setting that surrounds the home, accentuating it's uniqueness.
Above all, the main ethos that dominates the design of a boutique home is "quality over quantity," because it's not about the square footage or the fancy zip code. Personal design and thoughtful touches are what make them unique, stylish and luxurious.
