5 Tips for decorating your home with a lift

The residential elevator is still seen by many as a purely functional piece of equipment meant to get you from A to B, but a lift can also be a key decorating feature that elevates your home atmosphere.

We have gathered some of the ways in which you can take full advantage of the decorating capacities of a beautifully designed home lift.

It may sound like an obvious idea that you should find your own style when decorating your home, but when it comes to residential elevators, many still believe that this is a rather static product which cannot be adapted to fit your own taste. Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to our home lifts.

Each of our main models can be adapted in a variety of ways. Choose your preferred color scheme, pick the floor pattern and DesignWall that you like, and opt for classic or tinted glass for the shaft walls. These are but a few of the many adjustable elements that are meant to make your residential elevator truly yours.

Feel free to try your ideas out in our LiftGuide to find the perfect design for you.

Whether you are building a house from scratch or adding a lift to an existing home, make sure that you identify all the spots where an elevator could be placed. Once you have these identified, envision not just the elevator itself in the various locations, but also the area around it. Which way will the doors open, will there be any furniture placed around the elevator, and how will any windows or art on the walls next to it look?

It can be easy to get caught up in the home lift itself since it is the new addition, but what surrounds it is of equal importance for creating the right ambiance with your interior decoration.

Lighting is always a key factor in a beautiful home. When choosing the right elevator for your home, and the spot where it should be installed, remember to consider the natural light that will fall on and around it. If you choose a model with glass walls, natural light from nearby windows can look particularly stunning as the sun moves across the sky.

Once the sun sets, our DesignLight, which you can control via the SmartLift app, makes sure that the lighting remains stunning through the night.

The devil is in the details. Or is it?

Depending on who you are and what your personal style is, you might want your residential elevator to be as inconspicuous as possible, blending in with its surroundings, or stand out as a piece of art. Whichever side of the spectrum you happen to find yourself, the many customizable features of our home lifts will allow you to fully express yourself.

A clean and sleek minimalistic look or wild color schemes and design patterns? The choice is yours.

Our vision holds steady primacy when it comes to interior decoration, but keep in mind that other senses need to be consulted as well when it comes to certain purchases – machinery such as elevators being one of them.

Make sure that the home lift you plan on buying does not make too much noise when used. This will be particularly important at nighttime when everything seems so much louder.

All our lifts are of the platform variety which minimizes the sound level and makes for the best choice when equipping your home with a lift.
