What to Include Within Your New Luxury Home

A luxury home refers to a residence that goes above and beyond standard homes in terms of amenities, finishes, technology, and overall custom design. Rather than focusing merely on essential living spaces, luxury homes prioritize comfort, convenience, entertainment options, and impressiveness with extravagant features most households would consider unnecessary indulgences. Here are some things to include when building your new luxury estate.

Outdoor Kitchen

An outdoor kitchen transforms simple backyard barbecuing into a gourmet culinary experience right within your own outdoor paradise. Designed for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining, an outdoor kitchen features built-in high-end appliances like a grill, pizza oven, under-counter refrigerator, sink, and even televisions. With covered seating and overhead fans for optimal comfort, an outdoor kitchen provides a luxe gathering place encouraging you to fully utilize your property’s exterior possibilities when the weather allows.

Exercise Room

Rather than heading to an overcrowded gym, bring comprehensive fitness amenities right into your home through a dedicated exercise room outfitted just as impressively as commercial facilities. Invest in top-of-the-line equipment like Peloton bikes and NordicTrack treadmills along with weight systems, yoga gear, and accessory items so the entire household can break a sweat conveniently without leaving your property.

Spa Bathroom 

Pamper yourself in your own private in-house spa sanctuary modeled after luxury resorts and featuring similar upscale amenities for total relaxation. This special bathroom goes beyond tubs and showers to incorporate features like multi-head walk-in showers, heated stone floors, aromatherapy, mood lighting, built-in music, towel warmers, and even fireplaces or saunas for the ultimate daily escape.

HOME INFRARED SAUNA

In the pursuit of pure relaxation and health benefits, installing an infrared home sauna in your luxury estate can be an ideal addition. Unlike traditional saunas, a home infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to radiate heat directly onto your body, offering a profoundly penetrating warmth and creating an atmosphere of tranquility. They are specially designed for easy installation and use in your residential setting, providing an exclusive wellness retreat right in your house. The advantages of these saunas range from detoxification, pain relief, and skin purification to improved circulation. Explore different models and designs to find one that suits both your requirements and the aesthetic of your luxurious home. This can form part of your private in-house spa sanctuary, taking the relaxation experience to a new level.

Library

Even in today’s digital era, a designated library room still offers an irresistible old-world charm perfect for a luxury estate. Outfit intricate built-in bookshelves with rolling ladders to access your collection in style. Include plush reading nooks, a stately desk, fireplace, and all the fixings of a classic gentleman’s lounge to provide household members a refined literary retreat.

Architectural Details

Rather than boxy builds, customize your luxury home through special architectural detailing that impresses guests with distinct character. Incorporate custom crown moldings, accent ceilings with beams or intricate designs, stone or brick façades, and specialty windows like arched transoms or curved shapes making ordinary homes appear one-dimensional.

Impressively Sized Spaces

A luxury home should impress immediately through the sheer magnitude of the living area complete with extraordinarily lofty ceilings maximizing volume and airflow. For special event hosting, include a grand two-story foyer, a great room with soaring heights, eight-plus person dining room, an oversized island kitchen, and sprawling bedrooms bigger than average apartments.

Advanced Smart Technology and Security

Integrate exclusive smart home automation allowing you to fully customize, control, and monitor your property's systems, appliances, utility security, and more from handheld devices both onsite and remotely. Invest in premium brands like Control4, Crestron, and Savant tailored specifically for luxury dwellings rather than budget options with limited capabilities. Only best-in-class setups will suffice.

Dressing Rooms Worthy of Royalty

Rather than modest closets, outfit your luxury master suite with dual decadent dressing rooms for both you and your partner complete with custom storage systems, accessory displays, upholstered seating, fine finishes, and designer lighting transforming getting dressed into a grand affair. Add special touches like jewelry drawers, lighted mirrors, and television so you never want to leave.

Indoor Air Quality Systems

Protect everyone’s long-term health through medical-grade air purification technology cleansing your interior environment without compromising luxury aesthetics. Strategically install top HVAC filters backed by air quality monitoring technology automatically adjusting settings for maximum pollutant removal from indoor air to uphold purity standards.

Tennis Court

Diehard tennis fans will adore an in-house regulation tennis court letting you volley in style without leaving home. Construct a tournament-level surface, fencing, and lighting system to practice serves or enjoy friendly matches. Add seating and prep areas for extended sessions or spectators. Mandatory for athletic aficionados requiring on-demand access to sports.

Video Game Lounge

Dedicate an entire section of the house into a decked-out video game lounge perfect for both kids and adults featuring arcade games, home theatre, and every hot gaming console with extensive libraries. Install tiered stadium seating and ambient lighting setting the immersive scene. When not entertaining, enjoy competing against other household members in style. The tech-loving will adore their own indoor eSports arena encouraging gaming marathons.

Ultimately, luxury homes cater specifically to owners embracing the “go big or go home” mindset who prioritize impressing themselves and guests through sheer indulgence. If your budget accommodates, don’t hold back investing in features transforming basic abodes into extraordinary estates reflecting your exquisite taste and lifestyle vision. The sky's the limit.
