Beyond Opulence: How to Achieve the Quiet Luxury Look in Your Home on Any Budget

Finding serenity in your home is crucial amidst the hustle and bustle of an increasingly busy, stressful world. As our lives become more fast-paced and technology-driven, there is a growing trend in the world of interior design that seeks to create spaces that evoke a sense of calm and tranquility. Welcome to the world of "Quiet Luxury:" – a design philosophy that celebrates understated elegance. Think the Roy family on Succession: logo-free cashmere sweaters, expansive and luxurious homes with the finest of everything (but not shouting it from the rooftops). 

Quiet Luxury is a departure from the opulence and ostentation that has defined the luxury market in the past. Instead, it focuses on a refined aesthetic that stands the test of time. At its core, this trend embraces the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, valuing imperfection, asymmetry, and the natural beauty of materials and textures.

What is the color palette of a Quiet Luxury home? 

The color palette of Quiet Luxury is a blend of soothing neutrals and muted tones. Soft whites, gentle greys, warm beiges, and earthy hues dominate the spaces.  These colors also allow natural light to play a significant role, fostering a connection with the outdoors and bringing a sense of balance into the home. Don't be afraid to mix textures: grasscloth wallpapers, boucle armchairs, and mohair sofas are all welcome in these spaces.

Quiet Luxury and Minimalism

Decluttering is another hallmark of this trend. In a world filled with excess, Quiet Luxury seeks to create spaces free from unnecessary distractions. This minimalistic approach to decor emphasizes the importance of selecting pieces thoughtfully, ensuring each item serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose.

Where to source Quiet Luxury decor

One of the key elements of Quiet Luxury is the use of natural materials. Wood, stone, and natural fabrics like linen, silk, and wool take center stage, reflecting a deep appreciation for the organic beauty of nature.

Textiles also play a significant role in Quiet Luxury decor. Luxurious, soft fabrics like cashmere, silk, and wool bring tactile comfort to the living space. Layering these textiles adds depth and warmth to the overall design, creating an inviting sanctuary where residents can unwind and recharge.

How to embrace a Quiet Luxury look in your home

Quiet Luxury is about building a home slowly and with intention - no cheap Amazon furniture here. Instead, one slowly collects and decorates, building a space with their most beloved items.  

Another hallmark of Quiet Luxury is investing in the finer things (within your budget). Get the nice sheets from Sferra, the plush robe you've had your eye on, invest in the handmade dining table. Not only are investment pieces eco-friendly, it feels good to be surrounded by intentionally-selected, beautifully-made objets and furniture.
