If you gravitate towards a more traditional ranch home feel you may find a large stone fireplace, natural wood finishes, and comfortable furniture appealing. To add opulence to a traditional ranch home opt for plush rugs and throws, quality sofas, ottomans, and tables, and one or two showy decorative elements. For a modern ranch look, stick to neutral colors, lush fabrics, sleek furniture designs, and a bit of dazzle in the form of framed mirrors, carefully-selected artwork, and trendy lighting.
Luxury ranch homes promise to continue to increase in popularity again this year. If you have always had your heart set on lavish ranch living, now is as good a time as any to start planning your grand home revamp.
