maximalist, be sure to opt for a muted colour palette like beige or cream for a quieter look and feel.


Metallic accents like gold, bronze, and silver can add instant glamour to a space. Incorporate them across your accessories like mirrors, vases and lighting, and when chosen in the same or contrasting finish, you will naturally create a design scheme that does not overlook the finishing touches. Don’t be afraid to mix and match metals across the fixtures and fittings; when opting for the cooler metals, I prefer using nickel, as it offers a more subtle contrast when combined with warmer finishes elsewhere. Investing in statement pieces like a chandelier, artwork, or an antique


piece of furniture to add character and elegance to the space. You could even base your entire scheme around your favourite chair, decorative lamp or designer storage by replicating the same design details throughout the decor such as the shape, time period or choice of material.


Layer the lighting in your space to


create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Multiple light sources like table lamps, oor lamps, and pendant lights can add depth and interest. Remember the lighting control system is always an added bonus, as it will allow you to control the lighting in your home remotely or by voice control for ultimate convenience. Furthermore,


a smart lighting system will also allow you to create different scenes of tasks and mood lighting, so you can make the room feel cosier at night or when entertaining friends.


Quiet luxury is about being practical and considered with your design approach, so if you do have the extra space why not consider the luxury of having a cinema room or home gym? It is these added luxuries, together with underoor heating, air conditioning and home automation, that will help to create a forever home that lives up to your needs and lifestyle.
