Decorating your home is a great way to not only create a comfortable living space, but to express who you are as a person. Home is where the heart is, as the saying goes. It is where you should feel most comfortable. For some people a comfortable home is one that is as minimalist as possible. But for others, a lavishly decorated home is something to strive for.
There is nothing wrong with splurging your hard earned money on fantastical decorations for your home. So stick with us as we look at the most lavish ways to decorate your home in 2023.
A Garden Fountain
If you are lucky enough to have a garden then you will know how much fun it can be decorating it. Planting amazing flowers and watching them bloom. Caring for your pristine hedges. Creating a tranquil atmosphere where you can enjoy the sunny summer days in peace. But nothing says lavish quite like a fountain.
And we aren’t talking about a small one either. We are talking about a massive centerpiece. Modern plumbing technology has made it easier than ever before to install a working fountain. There are hundreds of lavish designs to choose from.
You could go for a classic design much like those seen in regency houses in England. Adorned with stone cherubs playing harps. Or you could go for something more modern. Sleek black marble designs fitted with automatic nozzles that can be programmed to perform a watershow on demand.
A Chandelier
If you were asked to describe one fixture that really elevates a home into an illustrious abode, chances are most people would say the same thing. A chandelier. This lighting fixture is perhaps one of the most iconic in architecture history. The chandelier is a staple of horror and regency fiction, elevating any setting above and beyond. And it is as much a sign of wealth and prosperity today as it was long ago.
The good news is that modern chandeliers have kept up with the times. While it is still possible to opt for the classical look, akin to a candelabra, there are hundreds of sleek designs to choose from. And they aren’t as expensive as you might think either. The art deco movement really brought chandeliers into a new age. With designers creating some truly crazy and artistic fixtures that can elevate any home with ease.
Personalized Portraits
There is no better way to decorate your home than with amazing art. And amazing art means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Some like classic landscapes. Others like more avant garde paintings. Some like surrealist works that really make you think. And some love the personal touch.
Commissioning art is a great way to add a more refined, personal touch to your home decorations. But the most lavish form of personalized art is a portrait of you or your family. Memorializing yourself in art is a great way to create a memory that will last forever. But you don’t have to get a self-portrait in the traditional style either. Consider opting for something like a Picasso or a Van Gogh. A portrait in this style will really stand out and add an element of artistic flair to your home.
Topiary Statues
Topiary is the art of trimming and cutting hedges into various shapes. It is one of the most beautiful art forms that mixes nature and art together seamlessly. And, if you want to really take your garden to the next level, it is a fantastic decorative choice.
Topiary statues come in all shapes and sizes, meaning you can fit one into your garden no matter how big or small it is. Some of the most popular topiary statues are ones of animals such as dogs, giraffes, or squirrels. But if you really want to go all out you could look at getting a topiary statue made of yourself.
Topiary statues can be quite expensive if you are making them from an actual hedge. But there are cheaper options. Some topiary statues are actually wireframe statues that have been covered in leaves and plant life.
