Luxury Bathroom Amenities

When it comes to luxury homes, bathrooms never take a backseat. As opposed to Jacuzzi tubs, which spelled luxurious in bathrooms previously, luxury showers and other amenities have now taken over to make the experience evermore lavish. You can look around for smart technology making its way in bathroom from towel warmers on cue to shower glass turning opaque at the sign of someone stepping in.

Separate Wine Tasting Rooms

A dark wine cellar is becoming outdated with well-decorated and dedicated wine tasting rooms fast replacing them. The wine cellar has become more than a room for wine storage and tasting with comfortable living arrangement designed in the cellar where homeowners can hold wine tastings and gatherings.

Neutral Colors

When it comes to homes, color matters, as it largely depicts the mood and setting of the home. For this year, luxury is more neutral. Neutral colors give homeowners a good chance to display their wall artwork or dark wood furniture. If you do not like neutrals as much, keep it to just the dining areas maybe? That works just as well.

White Is All In, In the Kitchen

When it comes to kitchens, style and comfort should go hand in hand with all the latest smart kitchen gadgets lined neatly against a white backdrop. White cabinets are becoming the new sophisticated thing for kitchens as opposed to the natural wood cabinets. Pair your white cabinetry with quartz counter tops, which perfectly complete and complement the look. Quartz is more durable in terms of wear and tear, and less porous, making it a popular choice for countertops in luxury homes as opposed to granite
tops.
