The Hallmarks Of Luxury: Luxurious Features You Can Incorporate Into Your New Home

Understanding how to create bespoke, luxury spaces and homes is an art and science rolled into one, and it’s a skill the team at Ambrose are proud to have. Our team have a deep understanding of what it is to be luxury home builders in Brisbane, and we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver premium, high-quality homes. With years of experience and a team with unparalleled expertise, we’re well attuned to the hallmarks of luxury, and we’re here to share with you some luxury features you can integrate into your new home build.

Living Area

The living area is where the family comes together, so consider discussing these features with your luxury builder.

High ceilings. High vaulted ceilings give any room a light, airy, spacious feel, and when you build windows or bookshelves to the ceiling, the space is emphasised more so.
Eye-catching lighting.Exercise your creativity and demonstrate your personality with a bespoke modern chandelier.
Play with multiple levels. You don’t need to keep your flooring at one level. Instead, create a conversation pit by creatively using stairs and multi-level spaces.
Use deep colours. Darker, deeper colours create drama, especially when ambient lighting is used to lift and enrich the room. Think dark blues, charcoal, dark green, or brown.

Kitchen

As the heart of the home, the kitchen is one of the most important rooms to get right. Your Brisbane luxury builders should be able to provide plenty of advice to create a kitchen that ties in seamlessly with the rest of the house.

Dropped dining bench.Rather than lining up bar stools under an island bench, why not separate the food prep space from the dining space by installing a dropped bench?
Indoor-outdoor kitchen. Blend the lines between indoor and alfresco dining by installing fully retractable doors. That way, you won’t miss out on anything while preparing food and drink in the kitchen.
Don’t be scared of colour.Add a pop of personality in the kitchen by incorporating some warm, bright colours into the cabinetry or splashback. Sage green, royal blue, and pale pink are having their moment in the design spotlight at the moment, but if you don’t want a colour palette that will age, chat with your luxury builder in Brisbane about using warm neutral colours.
Butler’s pantry. Nothing says luxury quite like a butler’s pantry. Whether you use it to store food exclusively or include a second bench for messier appliances, it never hurts to have more space in the kitchen.

Bedrooms

Most people want their bedrooms to be simple and understated, but luxury features don’t need to be overwhelming. Here are a few luxury home designs in Brisbane that would fit perfectly into the bedroom.

Pendulum lighting.Rather than opting for an overhead light or reading lamps, why not embrace the simplicity of two pendulum lights on either side of the bed?
Play with texture.A textured feature wall can transform a simple bedroom, creating more visual interest and dimension. Texture doesn’t have to be noisy either. See what works with your colour palette and create a relaxing room to sleep in.
Wood finishings. Give your bedroom a warm, natural feel with wooden floorboards or panelling throughout. It might also give the room that extra pop of texture.

Bathrooms

You mightn’t think there’s much opportunity for luxurious elements in the bathroom, but you’d be surprised. As luxury custom home builders, the team at Ambrose have a few tips and tricks up our sleeves.

Freestanding bathtub.Nothing screams luxury quite like a beautiful freestanding bath. Whether you opt for a vintage clawfoot tub or a seamlessly minimalist design, it will add so much character and depth to your bathroom.
Incorporate natural light.While it’s only natural to want privacy in your home, natural light in the bathroom opens up the space. Try installing frosted glass or skylights to welcome the light in.
Backlit mirrors.Mirrors don’t need to sit flat against the wall, and backlighting them gives your bathroom added depth. In addition, using soft, glowing lights will enhance the relaxing atmosphere of the room.
Use floor materials to help with zoning. Play around with different materials and textures to show the bathroom’s wet zones and dry zones.

Home Office

Since working from home has become the new normal, people are looking for ways to design bespoke office spaces into their new builds. Ambrose, your luxury house builders in Brisbane, have a few ideas to help you bring luxury to the home office.

Save on space.If you don’t want to designate a whole room to your home office, create a space-saving office nook. A minimalist built-in desk and ambient down lighting are all that’s needed for a perfect work from home space.
Keep things light.Plenty of white space stimulates creativity, so play around with a lighter colour palette.
Create an office/library.If you’re a bit of a bookworm, you can install built-in bookshelves to create a private reading and working area.
Utilise the view. If you have a picturesque view from your property, why not place your work desk in front of the window so you can take inspiration from the outdoors? Even if the view is simply your backyard, the greenery can be a breath of fresh air when you’re working at home.

Laundry

The laundry is often an afterthought in the design process, but it’s an integral part of the house in its own right. So make sure your luxury house builders don’t forget to work their magic on this little room!

Pull out laundry hampers.The key to achieving a luxurious-looking laundry is to minimise chaos and clutter. By creating plenty of storage space, including built-in pull out laundry hampers, you’ll have plenty of room to store dirty clothes and towels.
Consider the finishes. Who said the laundry had to be boring? Why not incorporate bespoke cabinetry and hardware to liven the room up? You could also bring the splashback from the kitchen into the laundry, creating a seamless cohesion between the two rooms.
Sustainable appliances. When you’re building, opt for energy and water-efficient laundry appliances. Not only will they look incredibly luxurious, but they’ll save you money on bills!

Alfresco Space

In Australia, having the family over for a BBQ wouldn’t be the same without an outdoor entertainment area, so don’t forget to plan your luxury finishes for your alfresco space.

Think of the flooring.The flooring is one of the most essential features to get right when planning your luxury alfresco space. If you’re going for a minimalist look, polished concrete should do the trick, but we suggest choosing something like a travertine floor tile for more colour and texture.
Get inspired.One of the best ways to create an outdoor area you’ll love is to draw inspiration from regions you adore. So whether it be Tuscany, California, Cornwall, or Malaga, try to pin down the aesthetic you want to replicate and show your luxury home builder.
Built-in appliances.A built-in BBQ or a pizza oven prevents so much clutter, creating a far more visually appealing outdoor area.
Strategic landscaping. Some people love greenery, whereas others think less is more. Whatever your opinion, landscaping can make or break an alfresco dining area. If you love plant life, work with your landscaper to create luscious green gardens that compliment the space. If you’re not crazy about trees, try placing rocks or tiles around the space to break it up a bit. Fortunately, landscaping is part of Ambrose’s package, and our experienced team will create the perfect yard for you.
