An Introduction To Micro Luxury

Bathrooms

To attain the polished look in your bathroom that micro luxury provides there are easy yet impactful steps you can take. Adding soap dishes or ceramic soap dispensers will make a world of difference. These small investments are a simple yet effective way to add a lavish look to the space. Opt for soft, plush towels to instantly add a luxurious touch! For even greater impact, roll your towels to achieve spa-like style. And for the enthusiasts out there…add folded toilet paper points!  These small extravagances will provide a cosy, boutique hotel feel – perfect for achieving the micro luxury look.

Where can micro luxury be implemented?

Micro luxury originally stemmed from adding luxurious touches to smaller spaces that were otherwise neglected, such as downstairs cloakrooms and boot cupboards. But why stop there? From the bathroom to the master bedroom, let’s explore where micro luxury can be implemented and how to best achieve it.

Living rooms & bedrooms

Applying micro luxury to your living rooms and bedrooms will enhance the allure of these spaces perfectly. In these rooms there are a wealth of overlooked accents and finishing details that can be given an extra touch of luxury, including curtain pole finials, curtain holdbacks, lamp shades and cushions.

The finial touch

Finials for your curtain poles are perhaps the easiest way to add micro luxury details to your decor. Opt for a simple ball finial to achieve an elegant, minimalistic style, perfect for those who like to maintain a sleek, contemporary look.

Cage finials on the other hand will add an elegant, impactful twist to your scheme. Fitting the perfect finial will add the finishing touch to your interiors, and this little bit of extra care and attention can seriously upgrade the level of luxury in your home!

Return of the tieback

Tiebacks, also referred to as holdbacks, are another elegant touch to apply.  Tiebacks may seem a small detail but when added to your curtains will have a substantial impact on the overall appearance of a space. Not only do they add elegance to the room, they allow you to drape your curtains in a range of ways, from having the curtain half closed and swagged, to sitting gracefully behind the tieback. Tiebacks are a small upgrade, but the epitome of micro-luxury! 

Lamp shade inners

Lamp shades are guaranteed to transform any space.  However, you can increase the air of  luxury even further by adding a metallic inner. Metallic inners, or linings, will elevate the style of the lamp shade and refract the light emitted from the bulb to give a magical, sparkling effect.

For a warmer glow, select a metallic copper or metallic gold finish. For a brighter look, we recommend a metallic silver finish.

Comforting cushions

A sumptuous cushion can go a long way towards achieving the ultimate application of micro-luxury!  From the choice of fabric to the inner pad and piping, choosing premium options will not just increase the comfort, but also increase the glamour. 

When choosing your fabrics, opt for the subtle yet sensual shimmer of velvet, silk or faux silk, or add finery and opulence with a subtle embroidery finish, or soft velvet jacquard.

Select piping on your cushions for extra fine detailing.  Piping is not just for decoration, but will help to retain the shape and contour of the cushion, ensuring they keep their square shape rigid for longer.

Choose a feather pad over synthetic to give your cushions a plump and fuller look, along with extra comfort and increased longevity. Keep your cushions artfully arranged and plumped to bestow your beds and sofas with added glamour.  For a professional and luxurious finish complete the plumping process with a strong karate chop!
