Décor Trends: Quiet Luxury
What is ‘quiet luxury’? When the worlds of fashion and interiors meet, they share a trend when it comes down to material things. The concept of ‘quiet luxury’ is an approach that embodies a sophisticated yet understated elegance. It is the opposite of obvious aesthetics that loudly projects an overstatement of wealth. This new type of luxury brings tranquillity and refinement to living spaces.
The type of home décor it is emphasizes quality over quantity, focusing on subtle details and impeccable craftsmanship. It steers away from ostentatious displays of wealth and instead embraces a minimalist aesthetic that speaks volumes through its simplicity. This trend often features natural materials like fine woods, organic textiles, and polished metals, chosen for their timeless appeal and durability. Pieces often boast clean lines, elegant curves, and thoughtful detailing, showcasing the skill of skilled artisans.
The colour palette of quiet luxury tends to be soft and soothing, with muted tones such as ivory, soft grey, and earthy shades dominating the scene. This is because durable materials often come from high quality natural materials. These colours are meant to create a serene atmosphere that promotes relaxation and a sense of calm. Furniture and accessories in a quietly luxurious home are selected with care, prioritizing comfort and functionality without sacrificing style.
In terms of décor, less is more in the realm of quiet luxury. As it reflects a refined way of living by the individual, spaces are uncluttered, allowing each carefully chosen item to stand out and make a statement on its own. Artworks and decorative objects are selected thoughtfully to complement the overall aesthetic, contributing to the sense of harmony and sophistication.
Ultimately, quiet luxury is about creating a home environment that exudes grace and refinement while fostering a sense of peace and well-being. It’s a trend that transcends fleeting fads, promising enduring beauty and comfort for those who appreciate the art of living well. Our featured product of the month comes from one of our favourite elegant brands, Frato. Established in 2010 in Porto, Portugal, the brand originated as a high-end jewellery house- a similar pathway as our featured product from the brand Lalique last month.
What we love about Frato is the eye for detail in elegance and elevated features within simple shapes. Our feature of the month is of the Tortona II dining table.
