The concept of a luxurious home, one that is looked upon with admiration and even envy, is no longer defined by a small number of assets, such as swimming pools and snooker tables. Instead, it is about style and comfort, with features that support a decadent and effortless lifestyle.
As such, the luxuries that modern homeowners are most often seeking are largely different from previous years. Although a few exquisite indulgences, such as hot tubs and wine cellars, are still relatively common, modern luxuries have changed. To show you how, here are six essential luxuries that are most often sought-after in 2023.
Warming Drawer
Table manners and dining etiquette are emblematic of high society and a warming drawer has, by association, become a part of replicating this at home. However, aside from ensuring that food is served on heated plates, warming drawers are useful for the luxury of keeping cooked food warm for longer, making it easier to host dinner parties and family meals.
Home Cinema
Being able to stream your favourite movies in a way that rivals the local cinema is a true luxury, one that is certain to have friends and family visiting often. With the right technology and suitable space, home cinemas are superb investments that will keep you entertained for years. Those who want to replicate the cinema experience entirely should even invest in their own projector too.
Log Cabins
Instead of a simple garden shed, the newest garden luxury is an outbuilding and many are now choosing to buy log cabins over outbuildings dedicated to storage. These cabins are open to a greater deal of customisation and can become host to a private office, guest room, or even a personal gym space.
Walk-In Wardrobe
Follow any fashion influencer and you’re very likely to see them enjoy their very own walk-in wardrobe. These spaces allow for a more organised approach to clothing, one that also helps to showcase various items, such as shoes and dresses, to make the process of choosing outfits an enjoyable experience.
Underfloor Heating
Being able to walk on a warm floor during the winter without the need to rely upon extensive radiator use is a true luxury and it’s one that many across the UK are now choosing to embrace. Historically, underfloor heating has been expensive and difficult to install. However, with modern technology, heating mats are easy to lay and can even be controlled wirelessly too.
Security Systems
The smart doorbell has revolutionised homes, not only from the perspective of ease, enabling doors to be answered from across the world, but also as a security device. Homeowners report feeling much more secure knowing that they have a camera that can easily and quickly be accessed, leading to a surge in sales of home camera systems. Coupled with the celebration of smart home technologies, luxurious homes are now having user-friendly and high-quality security systems installed, all of which can be monitored from a mobile device.
