6 Décor Pieces That Make Your Home Instantly Sophisticated

Decor pieces for sophisticated look

How do you feel when you take a look around your home? Are you satisfied with the décor and the picture it pains? Do you feel like you and your home can do better and show the world your elegance and style? Well, then it’s time to go shopping for these six décor pieces that are simply a must-have in any elegant and sophisticated home. 

Furry accents 

For a long time, fur has been considered as the top of the sophistication berg. But, then animal activists started protecting animals and real fur became a thing fur owners should be ashamed of (and for all the right reasons!) However, fur still looks sophisticated and you have nothing to be embarrassed about if you opt for the faux kind! So, get a few faux fur decorative pillows and add some warmth and elegance to your home. Use them to soften up the space or improve the look of a furniture piece! 

Statement chairs 

If you want to make your home more modern, chic and interesting, you must invest in a statement designer chair! Any model of cantilever chairs will do just fine, but one truly stands out as the epitome of sophistication:  the Brno chair. It’s classic yet modern, elegant yet intricate and bold yet sophisticated! Brno chairs fit perfectly into any elegant dining room, home office, living room or even bedroom and they will never go out of style! 

Elegant lamps 

Sure, crystal chandeliers are gorgeous and glamorous, but nothing beats simple lamps! They are a great way to layer the lighting, give your home a new dimension and they provide extra task lighting that makes your room even more practical. Lamps come in all shapes, styles, colors and sizes. There are many stores that sell all sorts of amazing lamps from Europe-inspired balustrade lamps to Mandarin ceramic ones. However, if you’re not that into the classic look, you can opt for their floor lamp that is very industrial and modern and fits well into every dark corner and provides it with ample lighting. All in all, lamps are one of the must-have elements of a truly sophisticated home! 

Big mirrors 

A beautiful big mirror will not only serve you as an intricate décor element that attracts and focuses attention, but it can also make your home look larger than it actually is! It bounces off the light and helps destroy room boundaries which can both make your space look twice the size! So, if you have a square footage problem, mirrors should be your go-to element. Mirrors can also serve as art, especially those with extensive and intricate frames. The texture of the frame will clash with smooth glass and provide your space with dynamics and interest! 

Bar carts 

Home decor style

You must have seen bar carts in old Hollywood movies being used by sophistication giants like Humphrey Bogart, Gregory Peck or Clark Gable. So, if you want to steal just a tad bit of their style, get a bar cart for your home! Of course, as the name says, this elegant contraption is used to hold and carry drinks, which makes it perfect for cozy living room nooks or lounge office areas (bar carts basically play the main role in shows like Mad Men and Suits). However, they can also be very useful and chic in the bathroom. Turn your bar cart into a little mobile spa by filling it with soaps, scrubs, towels and perfumes! 

Original art 

Art has always been a great way to show off your personal style and improve your home’s look. However, people today appreciate art more than ever before, and pieces from famous artists carry price tags with more than six zeros! Of course, you don’t have to adorn your walls with Pollock's paintings or your shelves with Hirst’s sculptures to make your home sophisticated. Simply visit an auction or get a piece from your local gallery. Original artwork, however, is always your best choice, because it will make your home truly unique and lux! Also, don’t be scared to go big. Big canvases will serve as true focal points perfect for smaller homes since they take up exactly zero of your floor space! 

These décor pieces will give your home the nudge in the right direction and point it right towards class, elegance and sophistication you’ve been craving.
