‘Quiet Luxury’ has captured the attention of trend forecasters throughout the past few years, redefining the way we style our homes and think about our art collections. There are key elements to the quiet luxury aesthetic that harness a rejection of ‘fast home design’ in a way that can elevate and future-proof your interior space. So, we’ve decided to take a deep dive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note that quiet luxury is all about emphasising subtle sophistication and exclusivity whilst moving away from fast furniture brands who might promote profit over ethics. This \u2018less is more\u2019 approach, however, comes with an exciting twist. While calmer pieces are preferred by quiet luxury fans, so is the process of mix-and-match with different textures and patterns, utilising statement pieces that highlight reworked materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us to discover key elements of the quiet luxury trend to look out for, how you might choose to combine this aesthetic with the process of investing in conscious art, and the role Affordable Art Fair<\/a> plays in supporting the art ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less really is more<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Taking a literal approach to quiet luxury works wonders in terms of interior design because this art trend champions the belief that true luxury whispers, never shouts. So, a quiet luxury lifestyle is all about learning to tap into subtle ways of displaying your taste instead of opting for flashier choices that are more tiring than sophisticated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To nail the vibe, think luxurious statement pieces that find beauty in their simplicity; rich materials and a subtle colour palette to go hand-in-hand with your furniture, establishing rhythm in your interior instead of making the room feel overcrowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t mistake quiet luxury for minimalism, though! It\u2019s far from uniform. While minimalism strips away to make space, quiet luxury aims to redefine that space. To embrace the quiet luxury lifestyle, invest in art that will stand the test of time and take a step away from the generic scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it your own sustainable home<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Quiet luxury brings a growing emphasis on sustainability<\/a> and ethical consumption. Breaking through the noise of mass consumerism is futuristic, innovative materials<\/a> that get to live a second life as different forms of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippine Henry de Frahan\u2019s reimagining of books are a perfect example. She\u2019s taken the notion of second-hand books to a whole new level by repurposing books that otherwise would have been forgotten or thrown away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The circular motion of the pages gives the piece a unique momentum, but the story behind these books lie behind Philippine\u2019s zero-waste practice she describes as \u2018deliberate upcycling\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artworks that match this upcycling concept offer not just understated elegance and authenticity, but a principal element of sustainability to your home that can last a lifetime. Luxury clearly doesn\u2019t have to come at the expense of the planet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
