Interior trends: Quiet Luxury
In the realm of interior design, where extravagant displays often dominate, a rising trend seeks the opposite: creating unpretentious spaces defined by an understated elegance and with a sense of refined style. Welcome to the world of Quiet Luxury.
Often overlooked as a place for relaxation, the kitchen is often one room that everyone will visit in our homes. A Quiet Luxury kitchen scheme ensures that whilst being a functional space, it can also be a calm retreat that feels welcoming throughout the day. Stick to soft, neutral, warming shades and combine with textured finishes.

Symmetry in interior design is more than just a visual trick; it is a foundational principle that, when executed with finesse, creates a luxurious and harmonious living space. Here, the deliberate placement of two tables with matching lamps on either side of a sofa is a classic example of how symmetry can transform a room, making it feel more elegant and inviting. When paired with the timeless appeal of striped wallpaper and fabric, this approach to design ensures a space that is deeply comforting and serene.

What makes this space so beautiful is its focus on quality over quantity. It has been thoughtfully decorated with pieces that speak to us through their craftsmanship and materials. In a world where mass production often leads to disposable decor, Quiet Luxury stands out by celebrating the unique and the enduring.

We are obsessed with large-scale murals! Nothing makes a luxe statement like a whole wall design with the capacity to transport us into another world that seems to stretch beyond the confines of the space.

The appeal of Quiet Luxury extends beyond the aesthetic; it’s a lifestyle choice aligning with a growing consciousness about sustainability and ethical consumption. While Lincrusta may be more expensive than traditional wallpaper upfront, it is designed to last for decades, making it a smart long-term investment. By choosing Lincrusta for your wall coverings, you’re investing in a material with a storied past and a timeless elegance.

One of the most effective ways to embody Quiet Luxury in your home is by re-upholstering vintage furniture with high-quality fabrics. Vintage pieces often boast superior craftsmanship and materials that are hard to find in contemporary furniture and by choosing to breathe new life into cherished pieces, you create a look that is both timeless and uniquely yours.

One of the most sophisticated methods to achieve a harmonious and cohesive look is through the seamless matching of wallpaper and fabric. When wallpaper and fabric share the same pattern, it brings a sense of continuity and flow. This method is particularly effective in rooms where you want to create a strong visual impact without overwhelming the senses.
Quality craftsmanship is a cornerstone of the Quiet Luxury trend. Upholstered headboards, when made with high-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship, are not only beautiful but also durable. They can withstand daily use and remain a timeless piece in the bedroom for years to come.
