Luxury design is focused on the art of living of very rich people, on design for sophisticated homeowners and on products of high price category. Most luxury products are out of the reach of ordinary people, but there are ways to create a resemblance of luxury for a lower price. The truth is that we all strive to introduce a little luxury into our lives. Thanks to today's directions, this is becoming more and more possible.
What is fashionable in today's luxury design?
No doubt, if you ask 20 designers what is popular today, and what will be fashionable next season, then everyone will have different answers. This is most likely because there are no specific rules, and because each designer has his own style, which is a representation of different styles of life. Today, the main trends tend to either bring luxury to their design, or are affected by this style. It seems that this is most evident in today's Getsby Style, in which there is a modern reflection of modernity of the Middle Ages, as well as "art deco," where we see a streamlined form of furniture with a sophisticated smooth cut, decoration on furniture, fabrics and even veneers containing in imagine glass and crystal. Glass and crystal - everywhere, exactly, like metal, especially brass. The rich dark colors of that time are again in vogue, just like the inlaid tree.
What comes to mind when we think of a luxurious style?
When we think of luxury, this includes not only rich colors, expensive textiles with amazing texture, like large corduroy, for example. We also think about fur products. Furs are present everywhere and are the most typical and popular for the luxury style, they are associated with comfort and warmth. Although some fur accessories prices are sky-high, there are also "imitations" that are pretty well executed and look good. Most of what we see in luxury homes, very quickly appears in the homes of ordinary people.
Leather and lace.
In addition to furs, we also see a lot of leather, suede and even "metallic" leather. Metallic shades give the traditional skin a completely new shine, a modern look and a fashionable direction. Such skin looks glamorous and exquisite. Lace, on the contrary, reminds us of olden times. First we noticed them on the podiums and platforms. But now, again and again, they are in many magazines about home comfort. It's time to shake the dust off our grandmother's tablecloth. Everything new is a well-forgotten old!
Green shades.
Green remains very popular these days. And this concerns not only color and its shades, but also the term itself as environmentally friendly. More and more producers are striving for green. They offer their "luxury customers" environmentally friendly products, and customers, in turn, are very satisfied with such products and also strive to acquire them.
Neutral shades never go out of fashion.
Gray - creates an ideal background for expensive fabrics, luxurious textures and furniture. The problem with gray tones is that most people are afraid to leave their comfort zone. That is why the gray tones, luxurious and not very, become uninteresting and boring. These are the ones that designers do not like. But in fact, neutral shades are just fabulous, and very well "work" in tandem with other - contrasting themes: color, style, texture, etc. Cream and beige shades will never go out of fashion, but now we see more gray tones , and, as one designer said, "gray is a new beige." Another designer put it that, also, light purple is a new gray. Again, it is justified that there is no rule for luxury design. Michael Boodro, editor-in-chief of ElleDecor, said that "there is a danger in beige, just the same danger as in settling down."
