Statement Furniture
An eye-catching piece—such as an area rug, sofa with rich fabric or color options, or chaise lounge featuring elegant lines—can immediately elevate a home decor setting. Instead of taking over, these eye-catching statement items become the basis of the rest of the design scheme.
Statement furniture can easily transform a space, whether modern or classic in design. An example from Goddard Littlefair’s living room featuring high ceilings features a stunning tangerine orange velvet three-cushion sofa and two curved accent chairs to instantly set a luxurious space.
If metallics are your thing, add them into your luxury home decor through gold or silver accent pieces. They pair nicely with many neutral hues and offer an eye-catching alternative to brass and bronze fixtures—as well as being ideal if you don’t want to commit to permanent wall art that may require costly refinishing or painting costs.
Minimalist Styling
An effective way to add luxury and sophistication to a room is to create an eye-catching focal point. A dramatic chandelier or pendant light can transform an ordinary space into an inviting retreat.
Choose a lighting fixture that embodies both your design aesthetic and exceptional craftsmanship to make a bold style statement and impress guests and visitors. By marrying functional lighting with sculptured art forms, these statement lighting pieces create an unmistakable style statement sure to draw the eye and leave an unforgettable impression.
Minimalism has long been in fashion since Mies van der Rohe’s “less is more” aphorism became associated with modernism. Minimalist styling celebrates clean lines and open spaces while prioritizing simplicity and intentionality.
Minimalist fashion has long been popular with celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin. By paring down your wardrobe to only high-quality staples, minimalism allows for greater confidence knowing you have fashionable outfits for any event while saving money by purchasing quality pieces that last longer and minimizing purchases altogether.
