Boutique interiors on a budget

Ifyou fancy living in the lap of luxury, or if you've got a client with extravagant taste but don't have the budget to match, keep reading and let us work our magic...

Let's lay down the law of luxury

Whether it's a retail outlet, a hotel, a spa or even a pampered pooch pet shop (yep, this really does exist), there is a certain set of rules a space much adhere to for it to be branded 'boutique'.

Firstly, it's got to be pretty small in size. High ceilings are allowed, encouraged in fact but think 2 floors max. for retail spaces and no more than 20 (ish) rooms for luxury accommodation.


Look carefully and you'll also notice that most boutique interiors gravitate towards a good statement light feature, embellished furniture, repeated motifs and of course, bags of striking wall decor.

It's all about creating a distinct style which offers an indulgent ambience and an unmistakable air of sophistication. Boutique establishments are designed with opulent leisure in mind, not necessity. It ain't no overnight stop off in a budget hotel, darling!

The art of affordable illusion

Another thing boutique interiors typically have in common is there open plan, free-to-roam, care free layout. Forget meticulously mapped-out aisles and departments, this way of doing things is much more laid back and do-as-you-please, Madam.

However when it comes to public arenas like hotels and retail outlets, you will still want to assert a little discipline and one way of doing this is to demonstrate direction and specific spaces with mix and match carpet tiles.

Our collection of design-led modular flooring will enable you to achieve this subtly and even leave some change in your pocket afterwards, which is is something you might never imagine comes hand-in-hand with boutique design.

Look towards ranges like Heuga Really Random, Nouveau Cosy Toes, Nouveau Core Xtra, the Modulyss DSGN collection and Desso Essence Structure to nail the all-important plush and design-led aesthetics without breaking the bank.



Luxury vinyl is also a great way to create a real luxurious interior without having to deal with the hefty price tag that comes with traditional wood and stone flooring. I mean, it's all in the name!
