We all want homes filled with five-star amenities, sprawling manicured gardens, and the most opulent bedrooms. Although many of our favorite luxury must-haves stay on our lists (lavish dining rooms, anyone?), it’s best to get acquainted with the top luxury house design trends. 

Not sure where to start? Here are the top 9 to welcome into your home.

1. Use State-of-the-Art Technology When You Can 

Know what you have to have in your luxury home?

Technology has crept into every aspect of our lives and now, we’re welcoming it into our kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Homeowners can now control their home’s climate, lights, and alarm settings with a touch of the button even when they’re on the other side of the world.
 
Also, luxury homeowners are becoming more aware of their carbon footprint and have integrated green technology, solar energy, and high-tech irrigation systems in their homes. 

2. Maximizing Outdoor Space

Having an indoor kitchen is good but why not cook up a storm in your outdoor kitchen? You could install a built-in gas grill, food prep area, mini-fridge, and a customized patio to entertain your guests. Your grill will be the centerpiece of this area, so make sure you have a durable one like the models from Camp Chef or Pit Boss.

Not sure what to include in your luxury home design? Go all out with a hot tub, infinity pool, and cabanas. Alongside these amenities, call in a professional landscaper to plant seasonal flowers and keep your hedges well-trimmed for privacy. 

3. Game, Theater and Wine Rooms

One of your luxury home must-haves is a game and movie room. Yes, you could even include a
bowling alley.

Those living in the lap of luxury may also want to expand to an indoor basketball court and bar so you can mix cocktails while watching the game. 

You should go big with a home theater so you can enjoy the latest blockbuster without leaving your home. Invest in stadium seating, comfortable coaches, and high-tech picture and sound technology. 

If you’re a wine aficionado, dedicate a wine room for your home’s focal point of entertaining. They no longer have to be tucked away in the basement so you can show off your collection thanks to custom lighting, glass displays, and motorized racks so your friends can also enjoy your vintage collection.

4. Spa Bathroom

When you design your luxury home, make sure you have room to treat yourself to a spa day every day. Build a massive walk-in shower with all-encompassing jets, a heated floor, towel warmers, and a giant tub to soak in after a long day’s work.

You should also consider an infrared sauna for a sleek and useful addition to your bathroom as they’re known to improve circulation and benefit your joints.

5. A Private Dressing Room

When you design your own luxury home, carve a space to house your clothes. It’s a great way of displaying your latest shoes and clothes while keeping them organized and in good condition.
Install cedar shelves, display racks for shoes, neckties, and bags, alongside mirrors and good lighting so you can get ready in the morning. 

6. Stick to an Open Floor Plan

One thing all luxury homes have in common is an open floor plan with plenty of space. Have an open floor plan so the kitchen, living room and dining room flow together.  It’s also a great way to showcase your architectural and even set a theme for each area.  

7. Install a One-of-a-Kind Kitchen

Make the chef of the family happy with a gourmet kitchen.  Indulge in marble-covered
countertops and an island so you can spend time with family as you cook.

Also, install top of the line appliances like a double oven so you can prepare different meals at the same time or to help during a dinner party

Take time to design a functional floor plan and maximize your lighting. Luxury homeowners use under-cabinet lights to brighten up cooking areas and pendant lights over your counter work well too. 

8. A Luxury Home Gym

Don’t waste time going to the gym when you can bring top personal trainers to you. Invest in top-of-the-art equipment so you never miss a leg day.  Or, if that’s not for you, create a yoga room so you can start the day on a positive note. 

Install anti-slip flooring and large windows in your gym. Floor to ceiling windows not only welcome fresh air and inviting views but lets you stay focused and relaxed as you work out.

Nowadays, fitness equipment relies on technology such as syncing your Apple watch to your cardio machine workout. Doing this lets you track your workouts and stay motivated.

You can also install a state-of-the-art sound system to get you juiced up for an intense session. And after your successful workout, head to your in-home sauna for a relaxing steam.  

9. Location, Location, Location

Saving the most important aspect of luxury homes for last: its location.

Opulent homes are sat in the hottest locations yet still maintain their privacy and security. For example, your home may be sat atop a cliff overlooking powdery white beaches or in the penthouse suite in Manhattan. If you want inspiration, view here.
