Quiet luxury is a concept very close to our hearts. We love to discover wonderful pieces for our interiors that emphasise premium quality materials and skilled craftsmanship. Our ethos is very much to buy well, buy once and we adore home style that develops over time to really represent the owner’s individual character. This week’s Style Note looks at five quiet luxury home essentials for investment pieces that stand the test of time.
1. A really great sofa
A good sofa is the beating heart of any successful living room scheme. The furniture equivalent of a classic trench coat, it is a wise investment will serve you well and look fantastic for years to come. When you are choosing a sofa, it’s important to think about comfort and style in equal measure. Our bespoke sofa range offers made to order furniture that is hand built in the UK by highly skilled craftsmen. Our designs have been carefully developed to offer the best performance in terms of both function and form, in styles and fabrics to suit all tastes.
2. The best mattress
The benefits of a good night’s sleep should never be underestimated. Choosing the best mattress for your bed will improve every minute you spend sleeping and many of your waking moments too. Our made to order mattresses offer unparalleled comfort and support, with options to suit all body sizes and favoured sleeping positions. Just like our sofas, they are handmade here in the UK and once paired with a beautifully designed bed, you will have the perfect sanctuary for stylish sweet dreams.
3. A beautiful mirror
To fully appreciate the transformative effect of a good mirror in your home, take one down that has been hanging for a while and see how the mood in that room flattens instantly. There’s no guilt attached to splurging on a beautiful gold framed mirror which will have the power to dictate the whole feel of a room. A mirror placed in a social space like the dining room or sitting room will reflect and increase the energy people bring to the room.
4. Stylish lighting
Just as good jewellery will illuminate the face and highlight your good bits, the right lighting will uplift and transform any room. A layered lighting scheme that includes floor lamps, table lamps or wall lights as well as a central ceiling light will bring life to dull corners and inject personality and style into your space. Beyond the purely functional, a well-chosen light will be a feature in the room’s décor – an ornate chandelier or pendant light will be the difference between an average dining room and a glamorous party setting.
5. Chic storage
Less is almost always more when it comes to quiet luxury and there’s no doubt that minimalism is hugely chic, but it’s also far from easy to achieve. Having a place for everything is an aspiration for many busy households and investing in versatile storage is the place to start. Create peace and order in the living room or bedroom with a sideboard or chest of drawers to stow away clutter. Then showcase your beautiful things in a cabinet with open shelves that also has closed cupboards so that you can stash and style in equal measure.
