Here are four ideas to keep in mind when designing a home that embodies understated luxury.
Keep It Casual
Above all else, your living area should feel comfortable and functional rather than overly decorative.
Muted Tones
Shades of white and gray or natural earth tones are ideal for a low-key ambiance.
Quality Materials
Casual luxury is often conveyed through the careful use of high-end materials that are always in style, like marble countertops or hand-planed wood floors.
Old Meets New
Old world craftsmanship will always be fashionable. But don't be afraid to juxtapose it with contemporary or modern furnishings.
