Luxury living is in the details

It was Hubert de Givenchy who said “The luxury is in the details”, but this simple phrase can be applied to so much more than the world of haute couture. When it comes to luxury living in the world of interiors, luxury is more than a feeling…it’s the little things we add that lend an indescribable air of indulgence to a home.
One good dictionary definition of luxury is “conducive to sumptuous living…usually a delicacy or refinement rather than a necessity.” It’s easy to argue, though, that modern living demands some amount of luxury almost as a necessity. Anyone who has ever experienced the touch, smell, feel and sight of true luxury – even in its simplest form – can almost never go back to living with only the bare essentials.
True luxury should be an experience for all the senses, making the beholder feel special. It’s no wonder that luxury homes everywhere pay extraordinary attention to the finest detail in order to make their occupants feel that they are getting the very best – and, by extension, that they are themselves the very best!

Big ways to add luxury to your home

Luxury homes, whether they’re mansion-sized or not, offer owners and their families the ultimate living experience. Whether you’re buying an already-upscale home or contemplating a major reno based on the latest luxury home trends, here are some macro details to take into account:

Cutting edge smart technology: this goes way beyond clappers. We’re talking about network-connected security systems, lighting, appliances, temperature control and much more that can be controlled remotely and entirely automated…because convenience is an important aspect of luxury living.
Spa bathroom: incorporate not only a shower stall separate from the whirlpool soaker, but a private steam room/dry sauna and nice luxury details like a touch-screen TV.
Chef’s kitchen: besides top of line appliances, you definitely want an optimized layout and restaurant-quality details, like heating drawers, a prep island and double ovens.
Design/build extras: luxury homes should have luxury craftsmanship; look for (or custom order) architectural features like art nooks, vaulted ceilings and archways.

Small ways to add luxury to your home

When we think of luxury, we often think of tactile experiences: how does it feel to touch velvet, see the sunlight glint off pure metals, feel a silk rug underfoot? When it comes to luxury living, the smallest details can make all the difference:

Sculptured brass handles and door knobs: splurging on designer fixtures can add a disproportionately immense amount of luxury to any room
Fresh flowers: so much more than scent and beauty, fresh flowers and greenery provide a connection to nature and, by definition, are luxurious, since they are far from a necessity
Spa accessories: don’t have a separate shower stall? Who cares, when you can buy a European shower head and water filter combo that turns an ordinary shower into a spa experience with directed jets of filtered water for softer skin and hair?
Cloth napkins: even if you’re still doing your own cooking, using gorgeous linens is a luxurious detail your guests will appreciate, too.

The minimalist nature of "The Cable Wine System"

By CABLE WINE SYSTEMS

Are you a devotee of the philosophy ‘less is more’? If so, you may be a minimalist – someone who is interested in achieving happiness not through accumulating an excess of things, but through life experiences. Embracing minimalism doesn’t mean you have to do away with personal possessions and start backpacking across the world (although some do!); the point is more to experience freedom from the cumbersome, often overwhelming trappings of modern life and instead make conscious, deliberate decisions about what really matters, so you can find fulfilment in life.
At Cable Wine Systems, we took the concept of minimalism and applied it to our cable wine racking system to create a highest-quality product that will enhance the look and feel of your space, while safely and elegantly storing your wine collection so your bottles can age in optimal conditions. When you want to bring the wine you love into your home, and enjoy the minimalist aesthetic of a wine racking system that lets the bottles steal the show, Cable Wine Systems is the key.

About our luxury metal cable wine system

The Cable Wine Systems custom wine racking system offers wine collectors – whether homeowners, restauranteurs or anyone else wishing to properly store and showcase wine – the option of displaying their wine collection nearly anywhere. This luxury wine racking system unlike any other on the market today. It employs the finest quality stainless steel cables with chromed brass connecting clamps to create racking that is visibly well made and extremely attractive, yet in true minimalist fashion, leaves the focus on the wine itself.
The Cable Wine Systems luxury metal wine racking is versatile enough to be mounted in very small spaces – underneath staircases or in corners, narrow hallways or behind doors, unlike less customizable racks. However, the racking is also scalable to the largest, most opulent wine cellar. This means you can display your wines wherever you’d like (with some caveats about temperature and humidity control) without having to sacrifice that minimalist style. Along the same lines of ‘freedom’ and ‘fulfilment’, our cable wine racks allow you to see little but the bottle itself…making it extremely easy to admire your collection and retrieve the specific wine you want to enjoy.
