It's important to us that you're equipped with all the information to get exactly what you want out of the modern luxury interior design experience, which means helping you to have the best understanding possible. Let us guide you through the first steps of modern luxury interior design and what that means. 


What is modern luxury interior design?

This can be interpreted in many ways and everyone has their own view of what modern is and what luxury is. If we are to look at current trends then modern interior design is a style in line with what’s happening in the current market and peoples current tastes. What makes it modern is how it's the most up-to-date concept available, but what makes it luxury is a little more complex.

Luxury interior design can mean refined, well-worked designs, using the best quality products available and producing an immaculate overall finish. Luxury uses the best on the market, but within your style and preferences - something you don't like isn't a luxury.  In most people's minds luxury truly means not wanting for anything, which comes with freedom to choose exactly what you want, and as a result, usually creates a level of class and elegance, and the feeling of contentment and indulgence.



How do we define modern interior design for residential properties?

A mixture of factors go into producing an aesthetic in modern luxury interior design. Individual taste is important for personality and unique nature of design, but generally the modern style is defined by minimalism and colour. Block and neutral colours with bold accents, textures from wood, brick and metal, natural elements and plants are key elements of today's chicest homes. 

The thing that sets residential properties apart is the necessity for functionality - a beautiful home that doesn't work for you is pointless. Modern life is centred around working, and after a long stressful day at work, what you want from your home is that cool, calm feeling. Your home should be an oasis, and that's reflected in modern interior design. But as we all know that life has changed dramatically in recent times and this is now reflected in what is now luxury in everyone's homes.

Life in a pandemic encouraged working from home, which led to developments all over, including refits and hence the need for modern interior design. Now, a successful home still means a place that enables a work life balance, it's just that both those things often happen under the same roof.  Consequently, we've seen an increase in the importance of zoning spaces and how to integrate practicalities within the aesthetic. We know it's important you have a beautiful, calm space to do your best work, but we also know all that hard work is why you deserve luxurious comfort and peace to relax in now more than ever.

How do we define luxury for residential properties?

When most people talk about luxury they talk about the best of the best, but how does that apply to your home? Living surrounded by luxury is all about how you feel, and whether your home meets your goals. Modern luxury interior design should let you keep that 'on holiday' feeling at home, it should be somewhere you feel utterly safe and satisfied, and as a result, can relax and live peacefully. 

The luxury aesthetic involves the best features available; the most elegant, classy and considered products and designs go into a luxury home. That's what you see - to take it a step further, the best luxury modern interior design plays on all of your senses. That means filling a space with the scents and smells that you love the most; providing rich, tactile points across the room, plush rugs, silk sheets and cashmere dressing gown; fitting the best quality sound system so all the best music can enhance your space at the highest quality. Luxury is including all of the senses and the way you live your life alongside the aesthetic.



Top Tips for modern luxury interior design



Start Out with a Clear Vision

This is perhaps the most important thing to do in modern luxury interior design. Your plans should be clear because it means your vision is more likely to be reproduced as close to your dream design as possible. Critically, taking into account the practical concerns and their impact means you avoid last minute changes and unanticipated complications throughout the project - definitely consult the relevant interior design professionals at this stage. 


Always Take Storage into Account

It's imperative to consider storage solutions before you iron out your details. Take into account your space, and what you need to fit into it, then work from there. It's easy to get inventive and there are lots of clever storage solutions for every room, space and circumstance.



Consider Colour Carefully

The impact of colour is enormous, and the choice of theme has a strong consequence on the atmosphere and emotion held within the room. Picking a colour scheme and sticking to it is vital in modern luxury interior design; too many colours fighting in the same area can create a discordant feel to your design - often the result of an unclear goal or a lack of cohesive vision. A good way to avoid this is by establishing clear, well-planned designs before you begin. 



The Impact of Your Lighting

Consider the type of light your room has, and what you intend to do with the space. This helps work out what kind of lighting you'll need, and where your light should be. The bulb choice can also have a strong influence on the atmosphere of your room, and dramatic and intentional fixtures and fittings can play a beautiful role in adding flare and personality to your space. 


Pay Attention to Small Details

The little touches show the attention to detail that comes with true style that's integral to modern luxury interior design, and it's these aspects that tie the room together and put it just that step above the rest. Choosing hardware is an important decision and should be chosen to add to the design of the space in their colour, material and style.



Choosing Your Accent Pieces

Putting that personalised seal on your new home is as exciting as it is important, you want to feel represented and engaged by your space. Deciding on the focal point of each room and your visual direction of travel around the space means you can choose what to highlight. Naturally you choose things that look good, of course, but most importantly, choose things that inspire you and make you.
