If you have a house on a lake, chances are that you’d like it to reflect a certain look or feel. Often, owners of lake houses choose to have their homes models of elegance. There are some fairly simply ways that you can add luxurious touches to your lakefront home with just a bit of effort.
Owning a lake house is frequently thought of owning a part of an idyllic life. Many owners of lake houses occupy them only part-time throughout the year, when the weather is warm and the waterfront can be truly enjoyed. Having a home that is an escape from the stresses of everyday life lined with luxurious and elegant touches is one way to make your lake home even more enjoyable.
1. Utilize proper lighting
Keeping the interior design of your lakefront home light, free and airy emphasizes openness; a concept that is often utilized with elegant and sophisticated interior design themes. Many owners of lake homes also recognize the importance of lighting within their homes and opt for great amounts of natural light to flow in. This also increases the glamorous look of your home without much effort.
“In addition to natural lighting, giving strong consideration to the type of lighting fixtures within your lake house can only add more luxury to the feel within it,” said Alethia Erotas of Erotas Home Builders, a Minnesota-based residential construction organization. “Beautifully built and stunning chandeliers contrasted with a wave-weathered wooden table not only adds elegance to the look of your lake home, it also brings the natural elements from outside into your home, another favorite trick of the trade when working to add sophistication to your home.”
Casual elegance is frequently a central theme that epitomizes luxury in lake homes. Some simple ways to add this type of look include:
Using transitional interiors with light colors throughout the home, so that while every room has it’s own look or feel, there is a unifying concept that effortlessly eases you from area to area.
2. Apply symmetrical touches
Applying symmetrical touches whenever possible always makes a home feel and look much more luxurious, and lake homes are no exception to this idea. This applies to outdoor and indoor themes at your lakefront property.
Be sure to balance outdoor vases, chairs, settings and lights equally and to bring that concept inside as well. This includes pairing lamps and hanging lights, utilizing paired throw pillows, candle sticks, flower vases and the like.
