Comfort and Elegance Take Center Stage: The Latest Interior Design Trend Focusing on Upscale Comfort
In the world of interior design, a new trend is emerging that emphasizes thoughtfulness, quality, and comfort - Quiet Luxury. This style, which has already made waves in the fashion industry, is now making its way into homes across the globe.
Canadian interior designer Ashley Montgomery is a pioneer in this movement. Her projects showcase a unique blend of natural textures, vintage furniture, and tactile finishes, often incorporating antique accessories and aged wood. Montgomery believes that mixing fabrics, finishes, and materials adds interest without relying on bright colours or bold prints.
Design firms are leaning into earthy tones - sand, bone, soft taupe, terracotta, and warm white - to create an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Designers are moving away from glossy surfaces and graphic contrast, embracing softness and subtlety. Brian Mims, another designer, uses finishes like limewash, teak, and brushed metal to give rooms warmth and presence without excess.
Brigette Romanek, another designer, fills her spaces with pieces that carry weight, both visually and emotionally. Items in a quiet luxe room don't need to be part of a set, but they do need to feel considered. Rugs with texture hide wear better and offer insulation from tile or marble floors, making them a popular choice in these designs.
Adam Hunter, another designer, suggests that dimensional rugs with texture and weight can help rooms feel grounded, especially in open-plan homes. The look of quiet luxe focuses on neutral tones, warm metals, organic shapes, and texture-rich materials. Quiet luxury also incorporates vintage and handmade items in its design.
Textural layering plays a big role in creating quiet luxe environments. Natural fibres allow for breathability in the UAE's climate, while metals with patina work better than high-gloss finishes. The trend of quiet luxury reflects the desert landscape in the UAE, with earth-toned walls mirroring the sandy dunes.
Practicality aligns well with the quiet luxe aesthetic, valuing longevity over trend-chasing. Furniture is changing shape, with more emphasis on curves, comfort, and organic silhouettes. This style suits a variety of living spaces, offering a timeless and understated elegance that appeals to many.
In an interview with Homes & Gardens, the designer who explained the trend direction of quiet luxury in interior design and how she implements this style in her projects was not mentioned. However, the impact of this trend is clear, as designers and homeowners alike embrace the quiet, luxurious, and comfortable atmosphere it brings to modern interiors.
