10 reasons to love the old money look |
[ad_1]
The quiet luxury trend took the fashion and interior design world by storm in 2023, but as we dive further into 2024, it is still prevalent in my design and decor choices, proving that quiet luxury, also known as ‘old money’ style will be a forever trend, at least for me it isn’t going anywhere. But what exactly is ‘quiet luxury’, and why is it still so popular?
Quiet luxury is an interior design trend emphasizing understated elegance, timeless appeal, and high-quality materials. It’s a movement that prioritizes simplicity and refinement, creating serene, calming spaces that reflect a sense of sophistication without ostentation. It is, in fact, a new kind of minimalism; a more relaxed version of the cold, clinical trend that no longer, if ever, brought us any joy.
Now, more than ever, we seek comfort and luxury in our homes; spaces that exude warmth, elegance, and serenity. We wish for pieces crafted from high-quality materials that will enhance our homes and our lives while acknowledging the impact on the environment. It’s pleasing to know that the ‘quiet luxury’ interior design trend is here to give us just what we need.
How to achieve the ‘quiet luxury’ trend at home
Initially popular in the world of fashion, ‘quiet luxury’ offers a refreshing alternative to the chaos of modern life, allowing you to transform your home into a tranquil oasis without sacrificing sophistication or style. Here’s how to get it right, every time.
1. Embrace warm minimalism in a bathroom
In a fast-paced world, what is quiet luxury? For many of us, it is simply about having more time for ourselves and the opportunity to relax away from the pressures of an ‘always on’ world.
‘Bathrooms can now be so much more than purely functional spaces – they are the perfect places to embrace the latest trend for quiet luxury,’ explains the head of design at C.P. Hart. ‘More of our customers want to create an oasis of wellbeing at the heart of their home – somewhere that they can enjoy as a private retreat to de-stress and unwind. We call this trend “cocooning” because it’s a way for people to wrap themselves in comfort and a quiet sense of luxury.’
For a cleaner, more modern alternative to warm minimalism, C.P. Hart suggests the Japandi design concept. ‘An amalgamation of Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics, the Japandi trend presents a less is-more statement that exudes confidence,’ says Yousef Mansuri. ‘Natural materials, especially woods like the rich walnut seen on this Copenhagen collection, are commonplace and perfect for softening a contemporary luxury bathroom while still leaning into the warm minimalism of the quiet luxury trend.’
Director of Design at bathroom brand, C.P Hart, Yousef Mansuri has been with brand since 2010, and has a history of working in the luxury bathroom and home spa retail industry.
