The luxury interior design trend is back with a force. Bloomberg has highlighted the huge growth of made-in-America luxury goods at expos across the country, a clear indication of the taste of the modern homeowner. Using sleek and unique modern technology, the luxury home of today brings together fantastic utility with the aesthetic design strong enough to make anyone stand and look in awe.
Luxury home wear is so pervasive that even brands seen as ‘budget’ are getting in on the act. Insider reports that Wayfair, known for their high quality but cheap furniture, are backing several luxury outlets including Perigold, who provide the basis to real luxury items within the home. A good item of furniture is of course necessary to provide the basis, but using accessories such as throws and judicious lighting can elevate them to the next level. That lighting, of course, is being supplied through smart means.
Architectural Digest highlights the work of Philadelphia interior designers in its luxury towers, who are using technology to evoke retro looks with full comfort of design. Remix Living are featured; they evoke 80s and 90s style lounges, but use clever LED and smart systems to make it fully functional and liveable despite the luxury feel. That clever combination of modern tools, implemented seamlessly into older-feeling environments, is the key between the over-the-top joy of classic luxury environments - though, minimalist designs still very much have a part to play in the very modern luxury environments of today.
Luxury can be quiet, too. The New York Times highlights several stunning apartments that are notable for their minimalism. Every item is top quality, but hand-picked, too, rather than creating a congested space. Smart life is, incidentally, conducive to removing clutter and congestion. Smart tools help to reduce the amount of items and detritus needed to live, day-by-day, and that enhances the luxury vibe of minimalist pads. Plus, the items themselves - smart assistants, tablets and their ilk - are often luxury and a sign of class in themselves.
Luxury is about quality items making a statement. In the modern day, that’s always going to be about smart tech. Bringing rustic or minimalist vibes to the home without compromising style is the ability of modern furniture and modern digital tools.
