Luxury Features You'll Only Find in Premium Homes

When it comes to buying a top-end home, it’s crucial to remember that truly excellent premium home designs are designed carefully to meet the needs and desires of buyers. A typical home design might focus on things everyone needs, but luxury homes provide both the needs and the wants.

Here are some truly remarkable features that help to define what a luxury home should be:

1. A Premium Swimming Pool

Many homes in Australia come with swimming pools, but a luxury home takes it to the next level, including larger size, multiple pools indoor and door, adjacent hot-tub or pool bar and barbecue area, and so on. A pool in your home that would be worthy of any 5-star Caribbean resort is a true premium home feature.

2. Luxury Bar

Installing a wooden or metal structure to act as a bar and place to store liquor is easy enough, but wide and open marble countertops with premium wood finishes at the base? Layers of shelving filled with all manner of bottles of top-notch alcohol and mixers? Glass-washing facilities, fridges, professional wine storage? These are the things that make for a real premium home bar. 

3. Tennis or Badminton Courts

When you have full-size tennis or badminton courts, that means you have a lot of extra space, and that’s undeniably a sign of real luxury. Tennis and badminton courts are a great feature to offer guests staying over as an alternative way to exercise instead of going jogging or hitting the gym, which brings us neatly to the next feature.

4. Premium Workout Facilities

Anyone can buy a set of dumbbells to keep at home, but how about multiple treadmills and elliptical trainers, so you have a choice each day? How about yoga mats, boxing bags, weight-training machines, and an adjacent dance/aerobics studio? These are the real hallmarks of a luxury workout life.

5. Walk-in Closets

Once again, a surprising number of homes have closets that you could technically describe as “walk-in” closets, but what we’re talking about here is something far grander. This isn’t just about being physically able to walk into the closet space, but rather the closet is the size of an entire room, with its furniture, countertops, storage, mirrors, decoration, and special lighting for those looking to dress right for the occasion.

6. Wine Cellar

When you have a wine cellar built, it’s not just an underground cave to store more wine than your typical fridge or a household wine rack can hold, but a pristine purpose-built environment in which wine can be properly stored for optimum taste and quality assurance. Temperature and ambiance matter a lot when storing wine, and a good cellar can be tailored to meet the needs of whatever types of wine you favor collecting.  

7. Library

A great home will come with a home office and study, but a premium luxury home comes with a true library. This room is built to housing collections of books and academic works. It comes with floor-to-ceiling shelves, spiral staircases, sumptuous couches for relaxing reading, and one or more resplendent desks to work on when things are more serious.

8. Home Theatre

Finally, recreating the cinema experience in one’s own home is another premium and luxury house hallmark. The premium home theatre is sound-proofed and has acoustics that rivals any of the top theatre chains, as well as having no natural light, decadently comfortable seating, and that winning giant screen that ties the room together and draws the viewers’ attention.
