Esteemed designers are championing this trend, moving away from ostentation to celebrate the timeless charm of subtle sophistication.
Myles Robinson from Value doors breaks the trend and emphasizes the importance of timeless pieces.
He said: “Creating a ‘quiet luxury’ home is about integrating classic and sustainable elements.
It’s not just about following the trend of the year, but about creating a space that remains stylish despite passing fads.”
Elegant door makeover
Transform the entrance to your home with a touch of tranquil luxury by choosing timeless, solid wooden doors.
Mr. Robinson suggests, “Consider upgrading to doors with classic panel designs or shaker styles.
“The simplicity of these options exude sophistication, and a new coat of paint in neutral tones can immediately improve the overall feel of your space.”
Luxury textures on a budget
Enjoy the feel of luxurious textures without spending a lot of money.
Mr. Robinson recommends, “Explore budget-friendly options for pillows and blankets in neutral tones.
“Faux fur or velvet materials add a touch of character, luxury and warmth.
“By strategically placing these textures on your sofa or bed, you create a cozy and refined atmosphere.”
Statement lighting with a twist
Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the tone of a room.
Mr Robinson says: “Investing in striking lighting does not have to be a significant expense.
“Look for unique vintage or second-hand pieces in thrift stores or online marketplaces.
“With a fresh coat of paint in metallic shades or muted colors, you can add a touch of ‘quiet luxury’ to any room.”
Reimagined art gallery
Create a collection of timeless works of art on a budget. “Look for affordable posters or create a gallery wall with vintage frames,” Mr Robinson said.
“Consider framing pages from old books or botanical prints for a touch of classic sophistication.
“Mixing different frame styles in similar tones adds visual interest while maintaining the overall theme.”
Budget-friendly upholstery
Transform your furniture without a hefty price tag by reupholstering them with cost-effective fabrics.
Mr. Robinson suggests, “Choose neutral tones and classic patterns for larger pieces of furniture.
“Look for durable, budget-friendly materials such as cotton or linen blends.
“This fits in with the ‘quiet luxury’ trend and provides versatility for future redecorations.”
