Every once in a while, it’s nice to feel like a millionaire. While a pet tiger may be out of your price range, there are lots of little luxuries that you can add to your home design in order to take things up a notch. Live large with these 10 home decor items that’ll make you feel like you’re in the lap of luxury!

1. ​A clawfoot tub

Bringing along with it the majestic character of the highly embellished Victorian era, a clawfoot bathtub adds instant “wow factor” to even the simplest of bathrooms. Turning a basic tub into a decadent showpiece, this elegant clawfoot tub sits front and center, with an chandelier overhead adding to the glamorous atmosphere.

​2. A marble sink

An expansive marble floor might fall out of your price range, but perhaps a marble sink is less of a stretch. Indulge your senses with the smooth, cool, heaviness of richly marbled stone, for a bathroom experience fit for royalty.

3. ​A custom kitchen island

Here’s a more practical measure: upgrade your kitchen with a custom-designed kitchen island that includes everything you could ask for (and nothing that you wouldn’t ask for). Balancing luxury with utility, this kitchen upgrade brings the luxuries of increased efficiency, increased storage, and a generous amount of workspace.

4. ​A rec room where you can golf

This design takes things up a notch: here, a basement has been outfitted with astroturf, a putting green, and a big screen where the residents can use a golf simulator to practice their sport. Talk about a luxurious lifestyle: even on stormy days, this rec room provides a place to indulge in outdoor hobbies.

5. ​A pool table

Entertain your millionaire friends with a billiards room! This pool table benefits from a mysterious ambience created by soft, dark colours, with industrial elements giving the room a dramatic edge.

6. ​A home bar (that’s well stocked!)

Turn things up with a custom-designed home bar, transforming a portion of your home into a space that’s designed purely for fun. Because any home can become a mansion with the glamour of a well-stocked home bar.

7. ​Artisanal furniture

Handcrafted furniture is the ultimate luxury. It comes with a higher price tag than your bargain finds at IKEA, but there’s no denying the enriching qualities of something that’s handmade and infused with passion, skill, and originality. 

In this example, the architects and designers from Unit 7 Architecture have incorporated a live edge bar top into this stylish wine cellar/home bar.

8. ​Furniture you’re afraid to spill wine on

Daring whites, creams, and yellows! High quality brocades, antiques, leathers, and custom prints! If you’d think twice before balancing a glass of wine on the armrest, this is the furniture you need in your mansion-worthy living room.

9. ​A fireplace… but not just any fireplace.
