1. Keep it simple and elegant

Luxury interior decoration is not merely having pure and shiny metal elements within your space; it is also reflective of the range and choice of colors you use. Create that luxury feel by keeping the color scheme within one or two colors, and using complementary natural tones such as polished wood. In this bedroom design by @chronostudeos, the color choices distinctly revolve around grey and blue with a generous addition of natural wood tones and lush planting.

2. Use floor-to-ceiling drapery

A seemingly minor detail, this quick tip will majorly transform your space to look like the interior of a 5-star hotel! Be sure to use draperies that run the full length of your walls. This will create the illusion of grandeur and magnificence just like you see here in this beautiful bedroom by iDesign by Tola Akerele.

3. Take Lighting into Consideration

The bane of any interior is poor lighting. Lighting in decor is essentially an interplay of material reflections and shadows. As a general rule, soft lighting is best for the bedroom and should be a combination of both natural and artificial lighting sources. For large windows that let in strong natural light, soften the light source with high-quality automatic translucent window shades, preferably running from floor to ceiling like we see here in this bedroom decor by @maisonvalentinaa.

4. Choose a strong statement piece

Let your personality beam from your bedroom by introducing elements that strongly reflect your character. A good way to do this is by choosing a statement piece. This piece should embody your style and would naturally drive attention to itself. A statement piece can be a chair, an intricately designed pendant light, or simply a large painting.  In the image below, the Àdùnní monochrome by @Ile.Ila makes for a strong statement piece within this simple and elegant bedroom.

5. Invest in Comfy bedding:

This is perhaps the most important key to achieving a luxury bedroom decor. Invest in very comfortable bedding, with duvet and a generous supply of pillows. This visually softens the bedroom interior and instantly creates a soft welcoming feel for your space. A great inspiration is this lovely bedroom by @house.becomes.home.

Achieving the luxury look in your Lagos home is quite simple. Following the basic tenets of design can go a long way in manipulating the spatial dynamics of an interior, giving off the much-desired look of pure elegance. With the above quick guide, you can see how easy it is to achieve the look at minimal cost.
