10 luxury items every gentleman should aspire to have in his home
Words: India Gladstone
Your home is the one place where you can truly express your style and your taste, because through clothes it can often be difficult – with the small matter of a sensible and appropriate work uniform getting in the way and the strong desire, by many, to fit in. On the contrary, it’s incredibly easy to tell a lot about someone’s personality through the objects and items that they have in their home. The space you occupy (and pay to live in) is commonly the best expression of yourself. And if it was down to us, these are the luxury items we’d choose to fill our home with.
Coffee machine

This is the coffee machine to end all coffee machines. Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s an item that’s going to last you years and going to make you some of the most delicious coffee you’ve ever tasted.
Rowing machine

Imagine never having to go to the gym again because you have everything you need for your home workout in your apartment? Although a home gym is undoubtedly a (rather large) investment, it’s important to start with a couple of good looking, core pieces and go from there – this rower is the perfect place to start.
Cocktail shaker

Because every gentleman should know how to entertain. An in-house bar is a great place to start, complete with an amazing cocktail shaker. This one is a worthy investment and is bound to instantly impress.
Backgammon set

There’s nothing quite like a decent board game to break the ice and no better conversation starter than a beautiful, elegant one like this. You can’t go wrong, gents, and you shouldn’t.
Wine rack

Traditional Wine Rack Co., £80/$155
There’s nothing that screams luxury more than walking into a home where there’s a wine rack completely filled with delicious and exotic wines. Be that guy, and invest in this.
Sound-system

Bowers & Wilkins, £499,95/$715
The Zeppelin Wireless is an all-encompassing speaker which makes your music sound richer and more lifelike. Hi-Fi quality drive units, advanced digital processing, a new incredibly rigid body combined with amazing connection options in the form of Airplay, Bluetooth aptX and Spotify Connect ensure that this wireless speaker sounds its best.
Decanter

This is the decanter set you need, gents. Classy, stylish and functional all in one glass bottle – you know you want to, and you should.
Television

A great TV is a must – whether for sport, Downton Abbey or a spot of David Attenborough. In an ideal world, a home cinema would do the trick even better, but we need to be a little more realistic than that…
Armchair

Every gentleman deserves to make an incredible investment to make his home the best it can be, and this armchair from Linley ticks all the right boxes.
Lighting

Every design-lover will understand and appreciate the importance of an Artemide lamp, and this is the perfect piece to liven up any home, while keeping things stylish at the same time.
