Perfecting Interior Design in Luxury Homes
Bright colors should be used sparingly and offset against a neutral color palette to inject stark flashes of character into the home while remaining understated. The use of materials such as stone, wood, metal, and glass can add attractive textures to the house while recycled materials and aged items add a sense of timelessness. The latest technology should be interwoven into the house making its function sleek and modern, yet remain invisible to the eye so as not to damage the overall aesthetic.
For me, luxury interior design is not about buying the most expensive furniture. It is about beginning with an idea, a concept, and nurturing it to allow it to organically blossom throughout the house, creating a bigger picture when perceived together as a whole. This is how you create an authentic luxury interior. It’s not something you can just buy off of a shelf.
