From runway to home, the quiet luxury movement is intensifying!
Quiet luxury is defined by Vogue Magazine as a “non-trend trend” or “elevated basics”. The aesthetic in fashion features the highest quality pieces with an understated presence. When applied to homes, this attitude is easy to understand by watching Lowell Custom Homes construction in action. The focus is on superior materials and expert craftsmanship.
When citing this style, marketing analyst Pam Dazinger references the Succession series and explains,
“True luxury whispers, it never shouts.”
With that in mind we identified the elements that will help you communicate quiet luxury in your home.
Quiet Luxury is Always Appropriate
This entire movement is in sync with the principles of Elsie de Wolfe, founder of the interior design profession. De Wolfe’s philosophy started with a goal, “A house that is like the life that goes with it, a house that gives us beauty as we understand it.” She also famously warned, “You will express yourself in your house whether you want to or not.” With that in mind, the first recommendation for quiet luxury is to create a home suitable for your lifestyle and location.
Prioritize Quality & Craftsmanship
Quiet luxury showcases natural materials, artistry and simplicity of style. Sustainability is achieved by investing in craftsmanship that will survive generations. Palettes are curated by combining personally soothing colors without interruption from showy displays.
Quiet Luxury is in the Details
Subtlety is an art. When it comes to architectural and interior design, details speak without shouting. Quality materials and impeccable craftsmanship differentiate design in an understated manner. This mood is about embracing the things you love in an environment that is relaxed and inviting.
Connection to Nature
The nurturing influence of the environment is key to this effort. Creating a seamless flow between interior and exterior rooms lends a sense of tranquility.
Quiet Luxury is Confidence
A well curated design reads as confidence. There is no need to rely on the latest designer label or “it” item when decisions are based on desirable attributes. This is one of the reasons we have relationships that span generations. A Lowell Custom Home reflects an appreciation for quality and the discerning taste of our homeowners.
