Adding Creative Illusions
When it comes to achieving a luxurious feel, the placement of your carefully curated décor will also make a big difference. By adding different stylistic illusions, a trick of the eye starts to take place and enhance the overall décor.
First, add more natural lighting where possible in your kitchen, which will work wonders. Natural lighting has the unique ability to really open the space up, and make it appear larger than it is. It bounces off other white, shiny, or reflective surfaces and expands the feel of your kitchen.
While you’re pushing away those blinds or curtains to let the sunshine flow in, take notice at where your window panels are placed. Raising window panels to give the illusion of a high ceiling creates a big kitchen feel you always dreamed of. Bigger is better, in terms of luxury, so by expand your space wherever you can to achieve that fancy flow.
