Creating the home of your dreams is not all about architecture or location. A few simple luxurious upgrades of the gadgets, appliances or items of furniture in your home can make a world of difference. Here the team at Lifton Home Elevators have put together a list of easy ways to update your living space in 2021 to make your life simpler, more luxurious, and just a little bit magical.

  1. Movie theatre quality TV

The technology around TVs improves with each year that passes, be that picture and sound quality, lighting science, or even digital capability. That means that if you have not had an upgrade for a couple of years a new TV is bound to be a great investment and is sure to promote your viewing experience to another level. For the full benefit of what your new screen has to offer invest in surround sound at the same time, and immerse yourself in movie nights with the lights low and the sound high.

  1. Drinks reception area

Do you enjoy a well-mixed cocktail? Or a cool glass of champagne? What could make guests feel more looked after or your home feel more luxurious than being able to welcome visitors with a drink when they arrive? By assigning an area of your home as a drinks reception area you can add a decadent feel to even a small home. Choose a drinks trolley to display your finest glassware and choice of liquors, or opt for a larger cabinet with built in wine cooler. If space is no issue, why not incorporate a bar area to make serving all the more convenient.
