Everyone remembers their first car and there are few things in life as exciting as passing your test and having your own car to drive. There is a lot to consider when buying your first car, including your finances, if the car fits your lifestyle and what you will use the car for. You should not overlook the importance of the car interior as this will have a big impact on your experience. In luxury cars, for example, you can enjoy some detailed, comfortable and intricate interiors that can heighten the driving experience.

What Auto Renos You Can & Can’t Do 

You can always upgrade and renovate your interior to get it exactly how you like, but you need to know what you can and can’t do. You can take inspiration by looking at luxury car interiors, which should give you a few ideas of improvements that you can make. This could include things like: 

- Seat covers 

- Floor mats 

- Gear knob covers 

- Infotainment units 

- Stereo system 

- Interior lights

There are also some exterior upgrades that you could make, including: 

- Front and rear bumpers 

- Body kits 

- Tinted windscreens 

- Performance modifications 

It is important to note that there are some upgrades that are illegal in the UK and these all relate to road safety. This is why it is important to familiarise yourself with the law and always check if you are ever unsure about a car upgrade. It is illegal to modify your car with neon lights, rear and headlight tints and window tints past a certain percentage. Loud exhausts, spoiler upgrades and nitrous oxide engine modifications are also illegal.

Interior Design That Expresses 

Interior design is not just for homes and there are even car interior design courses that can teach you how to create a comfortable and stylish environment. This will involve using different materials that can affect your mood and even lifestyle, especially when using luxury materials like leather. Here are three cars with excel-lent interior design:

Volvo XC40: The XC40 has a smart and stylish interior with clever interior features, such as cargo dividers and a removable waste bin. A used Volvo is also an excellent investment as a brand that is known for safety and reliability. 

Peugeot 208: The Peugeot 208 shows that stylish interiors can be affordable with a sleek look, stylish square steering wheel and a futuristic i-Cockpit digital display. 

Honda e: The Honda e is a great example of modern car interior design with an airy, open and light feel inside. It also has a 70s-style sideboard and a screen spacing the entire width blending both old and new styles. 

Much like your home interior, you car interior should be a reflection of your personality and can have a big impact on your driving experience. There have been many interesting developments in recent times, so it will be interesting to see what the future holds for car interior design.
