I’m an interior design expert – here are five tips to make your home ooze ‘quiet luxury’ on a budget
AN EXPERT has revealed how to make your home ooze with “quiet luxury” on a budget in line with 2024’s hottest interior design trend.
Inspired by the binge-worthy TV show Succession, today’s home aesthetics are all about embracing understated opulence.
Esteemed designers champion this trend, moving away from ostentation to celebrate the timeless charm of subtle sophistication.
Myles Robinson of Value Doors breaks down the trend, highlighting the importance of timeless pieces.
He said: “Creating a ‘quiet luxury’ home is about incorporating classic and lasting element.
It’s not just about following the trend of the year but crafting a space that remains stylish beyond passing fads.”
Elegant door makeover
Transform the entrance of your home with a touch of quiet luxury by opting for timeless, solid wood doors.
Mr Robinson suggests: “Consider upgrading to doors with classic panel designs or shaker styles.
“The simplicity of these options exudes sophistication, and a fresh coat of paint in neutral tones can instantly elevate the overall feel of your space.”
Luxurious textures on a budget
Indulge in the feel of luxurious textures without breaking the bank.
Mr Robinson recommends: “Explore budget-friendly options for throw pillows and blankets in neutral tones.
“Faux fur or velvet materials add a touch of character as well as luxury and warmth.
“Layering these textures strategically on your sofa or bed creates a cosy and sophisticated atmosphere.”
Statement lighting with a twist
Lighting plays a pivotal role in setting the tone of a room.
Mr Robinson says: “Investing in statement lighting doesn’t have to be a significant expense.
“Hunt for unique vintage or second-hand pieces at thrift stores or online marketplaces.
“With a fresh coat of paint in metallic tones or muted colours, you can add a touch of ‘quiet luxury’ to any space.”
Reimagined art gallery
Curate a collection of timeless art pieces on a budget. “Look for affordable prints or create a gallery wall using vintage frames,” Mr Robinson said.
“Consider framing pages from old books or botanical prints for a touch of classic sophistication.
“Mixing various 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 with cost-effective fabrics.
Mr Robinson suggests: “Choose neutral tones and classic patterns for larger furniture items.
“Look for durable, budget-friendly materials like cotton or linen blends.
“This aligns with the ‘quiet luxury’ trend and allows for versatility in future re-decorations.”
