What are the Components of Today’s Luxury Homes?

January 25, 2012

Luxury homes are built to suit your own definition of comfort living.  It can be a castle-like mansion or a more laid-back villa, but one thing is common for all structures that are worth at least a million dollars: they house all the best amenities.

Fully-furnished master suites and well-decorated rooms

Aside from using only the finest mattress and the most defining bedroom furniture, master suites also come with luxury baths composed of dual sinks, private toilet, Jacuzzis, and walk-in closets for designer clothes, shoes, and accessories.  Even guest rooms are made into first-class suites you’ll find in 5-star hotels.

Some luxury homes also transform the living room into a gallery by showcasing some of the best artworks or the finest collection of home furnishings by post-modern designers.  Decorating the room also includes using different types of home lighting fixtures for accent, task, and ambient lighting that help define space and illuminate the whole place.  Today’s luxury homes usually go for the uncluttered, minimalist design for that light and fresh ambiance.

Gourmet kitchen

Today’s luxury homes are also defined by their gourmet kitchen, complete with its own breakfast nook, well-stocked pantry, beverage and snack bars, and modern kitchen island. The kitchen is furnished with modern equipment for food preparation and houses the finest china for hosting parties.  Whether you love to cook or you have your own chef, a gourmet kitchen is a must  since luxury homeowners expect to be pampered.

Top-of-the-line home appliances

Modern luxury homes are also called smart houses, with automatic control for the heating, cooling, and security systems, as well as the state-of-the-art home devices.  By now, luxury homeowners have forgotten about the usual plasma TVs and have switched to borderless TVs to make viewing oh so real.  From refrigerators to laundry machines, today’s luxury homeowners only invest in fully-featured home appliances for their own convenience and sense of pride.  Some even have their own movie theater at home, complete with a popcorn maker, velvet-covered seats, and closing curtain.
