One of the best ways to create a sleek and chic setting to spend time in is by redesigning your home. The materials you use and even the colors you incorporate into the space will determine how upscale and luxurious it feels. If you want to create a contemporary environment that feels high-end, there are a few design tips and ideas to consider when shopping for luxury furniture.
Create the Color Palette
One of the main factors that determine the looks and feel of your interior setting is the color palette, which is the backdrop of the space. Neutral color shades with hints of metallic accents continue to be on trend. Choose ivory, beige, and gray colors. Neutral color shades also make the room appear larger and more spacious.
If you want something upscale on the walls, consider adding luxury wallpaper that is elegant and has decorative elements. You can also apply wallpaper to an accent wall to prevent the room from feeling smaller or too cluttered. Textured wallpaper is more high-end and can have a three-dimension design to make it more visually appealing.

You can also apply wallpaper to an accent wall to prevent the room from feeling smaller or too cluttered. Textured wallpaper is more high-end and can have a three-dimension design to make it more visually appealing.
Install Hanging Light Fixtures
A luxury item to add to your home is a light fixture, which can look more high-end than a ceiling fan and will become one of the main focal points in the room. The light fixture can illuminate the setting and can draw the eye upward, allowing the ceilings to look taller. Use a bulb with a soft glow to create a cozier environment.
Choose Metal Decor Pieces
Metal is one of the best materials to use to create a contemporary and modern design. Choose something with a metallic finish, which will look shiny and reflect the light. Gold and silver finishes look the most upscale and are beautiful when you use them throughout the room. Avoid using too many decor pieces with metal, which can look overly glam.
Incorporate a Few Statement Pieces
Removing clutter is key to creating an elegant setting that looks staged. Instead of leaving a lot of items out on display, selecting a few statement pieces can create a more upscale look. Choose items that are made in Italy to add European inspiration into the style of your home and create a well-curated environment.
Displaying an antique that is made in Italy will create more visual appeal. Scour local flea markets to find something that's a great deal and looks more high-end than what you paid.
Upgrade the Hardware
Upgrading the hardware throughout your home will instantly upgrade the design of the space. Replace the knobs on your doors and the pulls and handles on your dresser to make it look more expensive. Copper, crystal, and gemstone are high-end and unique to ensure you can customize the pieces you already own.
Use Velvet
When adding an accent chair in your living room or a headboard in the bedroom, consider selecting furniture items with velvet, which is soft and luxurious. The fabric feels soothing to touch and can add a rich touch. Velvet is one of the top fabrics and looks beautiful in blue color shades, which allow you to incorporate some color without cheapening the style of the room.
Add an Area Rug
Consider adding a large Italian area rug to tie all of the furniture together in the room and cover up bare floors. The rug will add a cozy touch and offer more warmth during the colder months of the year. Choose an Italian rug with a neutral color shade to ensure it blends in with the space and doesn't detract from the other furniture or decor on display.
Curved Furniture
One of the latest interior design trends is curved furniture, which adds a soft and cozy touch. The lack of sharp edges and smooth lines creates an asymmetrical profile for a more natural design.
Consider adding a curved accent chair in the corner of the room to fill in a bare spot and have more seating available.
Add Greenery
Bringing in a touch of the outdoors will create a cheerful and beautiful environment that doesn't look bland or too bare. Consider adding a silk olive tree in the corner of the room, which is easy to maintain and is a popular trend that has replaced fiddle leaf trees. You can also add a few small potted plants on the nightstands in your bedroom if you're looking for ideas on adding a green element.
Knowing the best ways to add a touch of luxury to your interior setting can transform the environment and make it feel like home. With a blend of modern and European elements, you can feel proud to show off the space and make it look regal.

A variety of factors affects the pricing a home. Ideally, you’ve left the home in much better condition than you found it in, and you stand to turn a decent profit. Using effective ways to increase the selling price of your home can help you make the most of your investment and move on to bigger and better things.
The more aesthetically pleasing your home, the more potential buyers will want to purchase it. This can allow you to make even more than your asking price. You’re certainly not going to want to make a bunch of adjustments that will cost thousands before you unload a property, but updating your home over time before putting it on the market is worth considering. Solid-surface flooring, complementary (not bold) color schemes, and newer kitchens, bathrooms, and fixtures are all attractive features to touring buyers.
If you’re unable to complete these updates before selling, then you’ll have to spend some time staging your home to control what attracts the eye when people are walking through the space. Home staging has been proven to increase the value of a home by quite a bit. You’ll want to change out fixtures for an updated feel; declutter; and spend some time enhancing the appeal in the master bedroom, bathrooms, kitchen, and living room. Expand the staging process to the outside of the home as well. Curb appeal is an essential part of the value of your property.
Space is a great deal-maker when you’re selling property. If you can take out unnecessary non-load-bearing walls, it may make your home feel larger than it is. Of course, if your home offers a limited number of bedrooms, you also need to consider that before turning one room into two. However, for small kitchens, buyers like open spaces, so taking out an unnecessary wall can be very attractive.
Implementing energy-saving features in your home while still allowing the space to feel comfortable will not only add value to your home but also keep your expenses lower while you live there. Energy-efficient windows, appliances, and lighting may be a little costly in the beginning; however, they will save you thousands over time as well as add thousands in worth. Consider the changes that benefit you both now and later.
Buyers are drawn to luxurious features. The location of your home relative to great shopping, restaurants, and entertainment venues can increase the value of your home. Similarly, the implementation of technology and special amenities can set your property apart from others. Buyers will often raise their price range if they find a home that’s slightly out of their original budget but that has these desired traits. A unique home with luxurious qualities may cause a bidding war between purchasers, leaving you in a great position.
Selling your home should be fun. You’ve got the opportunity to showcase what you can do with a property. Applying some of the effective ways to increase the selling price of your home is sure to make the home stand apart from others. The market can be a competitive place, but understanding what people value will surely make your property pop.
Bars are closed and it’s getting cold outside. Sure you have a full bar at home, but the work of making a drink and it never being just right is getting to the best of us? You can get pretty much everything delivered to you, and now well made cocktails are an option thanks to Ghost Bar, an online cocktail bar that offers convenient and fairly-priced cocktails for stay-at-home New Yorkers’ mixed-drink needs, is launching in Manhattan
Born out of pandemic and based in Midtown Manhattan, Ghost Bar is a solution to customers' needs for instant access to their favorite mixed drinks at an affordable price, with the craftsmanship and convenience comparable to their once frequented cocktail bars. The drink menu offers a wide range of classic cocktails, such as Last Word and Sazerac, and creative inventions, such as silky and smooth Espresso Martini, fresh and juicy Dragon Fruit Daiquiri, and a fun twist on Long Island. Named Longest Island, it's a Baijiu-based drink mixed with complex flavors that tastes like a glass of floral iced tea.
Ghost Bar is the brainchild of Ning (Amelie) Kang and Yishu He, owners and partners of MáLà Project. Amelie attended the Culinary Institute of America, where she developed a passion for cocktails. Prior to establishing the dry pot eateries in the city, she used to bartend at B Flat in Tribeca and an award-winning speakeasy in Beijing, called Apothecary, where she honed her mixology. "Now with respect to social distancing and many bars closing, you can only drink so many Whisky on the Rocks at home without wanting something more easygoing,” says Amelie Kang, Co-Founder of Ghost Bar. “And making drinks at home, getting a few bottles of liquor, juicing, and preparing the ice...can be quite a commitment. Sometimes I wish there's a quick and easy solution to a nice cocktail, and I think many people want the same."

Read MoreCenturion Real Estate Partners recently unveiled the first look at their landmark project, No. 33 Park Row. The first residential project in New York City designed by acclaimed Pritzker Prize-winning architect Sir Richard Rogers and Graham Stirk of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, No. 33 Park Row is nearing completion across the street from City Hall Park in Downtown Manhattan ahead of an official launch this spring.
No. 33 Park Row builds on Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners other boundary pushing projects, including One Hyde Park in London, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and One Monte Carlo in Monaco. While Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners’ design for No. 33 Park Row is custom crafted for this particular site, one can see in it hints of the firm’s refined sensibility for capturing the unique elegance of park-front living – a sensibility honed at their other projects.
No. 33 Park Row features Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners signature copper screen fins along the building’s exterior that evoke the iconic fins on the exterior of the Pompidou Centre in Paris and One Hyde Park in London. “One Hyde Park and No. 33 Park Row each face a park to the north and exhibit a similarity in terms of aspiration and quality with carefully composed facades that exhibit a richness of depth, shadow, and texture” - Graham Stirk
When Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners’ was approached to consider designing No. 33 Park Row, Rogers and Stirk agreed that the property’s park-front location had deep appeal and made it the ideal choice for the firm’s first residential property in New York City. Their first design decision for the project was to bring No. 33 Park Row’s residential living spaces and shared amenity spaces to the north side of the building, where they would enjoy beautiful northern light as well as unobstructed views over the lush City Hall Park landscape.
No. 33 Park features just 30 residences; The intimate scale of No. 33 Park Row is juxtaposed with the grand scale of its individual residences, which feature stunning wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking City Hall Park.
For the building, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners introduced contemporary architectural elements that reference Downtown Manhattan’s industrial- era commercial buildings, including massive windows, decorative copper screen fins around balconies and terraces, and distinctive dark steel framing on the façade.
No. 33 Park Row officially launches this spring and will feature one- to five-bedroom residences and penthouses, many with private outdoor spaces. Compass Development Marketing Group is the exclusive marketing and sales agent for the project.
Meadowcroft, the last remaining Long Island home by famed architect and House & Garden magazine founder Wilson Eyre, is now on the market for $13 million with Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman. Located at 767 Montauk Hwy the 6.91-acre waterfront estate and the 9,000-square-foot home, which features eight bedrooms and seven-and-a-half baths.
The circa-1904 Arts and Crafts-style estate at 767 Montauk Highway in Quiogue was built by Eyre just past the turn of the century for industrialist Theodore Conklin. Conklin's grandson, Ted, a former mayor of Westhampton Beach, was born at the family home. His great grandson, Ted Conklin, owns the famed American Hotel in Sag Harbor. Five generations of the Conklin family gathered, sailed, played and lived at the mansion, sited on Quantuck Bay, before selling it in 1989.
The lighting was all done by Louis Comfort Tiffany, a friend of Conklins, whose business was around the corner from T.E. Conklin Brass & Copper on Lafayette Street in lower Manhattan. Tiffany used Conklin's metal fabrications in brass and bronze for his famed lamps.
In addition to the Tiffany lighting, the home still features the original woodwork, hardware and other touches--including the original 1904-engraved door knocker and the original double-swing carriage doors, a number of custom / bespoke fireplaces and 100-plus-year-old rhododendrons. Notable amenities include a brick-ceilinged basement; a red clay roof, with tiles that were imported from France; oversized swimming pool that overlooks the bay; a dock; wine cellar, movie screening room, billiards room + outdoor billiard table; gym, staff quarters with separate entrance; a small cottage and accessory buildings.
The estate is also the focus of the book "Meadowcroft: A Century of Elegance in the Hamptons'' by Michael McKenzie. I'd be glad to get you a copy. It's also featured in the seminal East End architectural history book, "Houses of the Hamptons: 1880 - 1930" by Gary Lawrance and Anne Surchin.
