Luxury rooms don’t have to cost as much as you’d think - for rooms which can rack up the price such as gyms and games rooms, you can search the web for second-hand equipment which looks the part.
Recreate a cinematic feel with ease – paint a large wall white and install a projector on the opposite wall. This easy and cost-effective method of watching TV shows has never made entertaining easier.

Emily Caloe, senior buyer for VonHaus said: “Having a luxury room can really transform your home but if you’re looking to sell it’s important to note that desirability is at the fore of buyer’s minds. Therefore, it’s handy to create a space which can also be removed.
"As highlighted in the tips, adding a sense of luxury to your home doesn’t have to cost you thousands and thousands of pounds. For example, having a popcorn maker in your make-shift cinema room can help create that unforgettable cinematic experience.”
