We’re spending more time – and money – on our homes than ever before, with interior influencers increasingly providing both the inspiration and the kickstart we need to refresh our living spaces. These are four easy ways to elevate your home.
For so many of us, our homes are now a place of both work and rest, and with that shift there’s even more value on how we want our place of refuge to look and feel. Fusing functionality with style, we’ve compiled our edit of the finishing touches that are guaranteed to enhance your living space, without the need for huge upheaval. Here’s how to elevate your interiors to Instagram-worthy levels, courtesy of ABI Interiors – our go-to brand for beautifully crafted, high quality fixtures and fittings.

TRANSFORM YOUR BATHROOM: Create A Spa-Like Sanctuary
Want that spa-like bathroom experience at home? It’s not as difficult as you may think. Alongside making sure you have all the right pampering products – we love Vieve Bath & Body Soak and Naturium Glow Getter Body Butter, for example – consider the lighting (soft, mood lighting and candles make for the perfect, peaceful sanctuary) and the fittings. Uniting durability, longevity and a Pinterest-board aesthetic, these quality, design-led bathroom fittings are carefully crafted to stand the test of time – with a 25-year warranty that is testament to this promise. We love the progressive mixer taps in matte black for an ultra-modern look, and the Infiniti collection is a great choice for anyone who likes to refresh their rooms regularly, or is worried about a change of heart post installation. Even better, changing your taps will not only give your bathroom a facelift, but it’ll also improve the functionality of your plumbing and increase water efficiency – win, win.
SMALL TWEAKS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE: Carefully Consider your Finishes
If (like us) your love-language is wining and dining with friends and family, then you’ll agree that the kitchen is the most important room in the house. Make sure it also feels like the heart of the home – and a place where everyone wants to gather – using natural light, warm colours and stylish cabinetry. Adding a bouquet of fresh flowers or two always helps, too. Not ready to go all in? Updating the tapware finishes in your kitchen can have a significant impact. Consider the aesthetic benefits of coloured tapware, or an accent metal to bring a point of difference. Equally important is choosing the finishes for your cabinetry handles and knobs which, alongside a lick of paint and a bunch of bright flowers, can be all that’s needed to breathe life back into a tired kitchen.
EMBRACE THE SPACE: Indoor-Outdoor Living
Bringing the outdoors in, making the most of your space and considering your garden as a room is sometimes just the ticket to spending more quality time outside. An aesthetic outdoor shower – or rather a muddy boots and paws shower if you’re tight on space and not blessed with year-round sunshine – can be a total game-changer. Gather the troops and make use of an outdoor kitchen (ideal for whipping up quick salads paired with a glass of chilled champagne on a sunny summer day), or transform your garden into a hotel-like space with an outdoor shower: an ideal way to cool off during summer, and perfectly placed as a welly boot and pet-wash station after muddy winter walks.
