Few styles capture the essence of luxury and sophistication quite like modern luxe interior design.
Combining contemporary flair with opulent elements, modern luxe interiors exude elegance, creating spaces that are as lavish as they are functional.
From open and spacious layouts to meticulously curated details, every aspect of modern luxe design is carefully crafted to evoke a sense of refinement and indulgence.
Let’s learn more about the key elements of modern luxe interior design.
What is Modern Luxe Interior Design?
Modern luxe interior design is a sophisticated and elegant approach to design that combines contemporary style with luxurious elements. It focuses on creating a lavish but also functional and comfortable space.
Let’s dive into some key elements that define this beautiful design style.
Key Elements
OPEN AND SPACIOUS LAYOUTS
Modern luxe interior design is characterized by an open, spacious plan with minimal walls and increased site lines.
Refined and expansive, modern luxe design emphasizes flow and spaciousness to allow space for each element to breathe.
The open plan promotes interaction and socialization among family and guests making it ideal for entertaining and gathering.
COLOR PALETTE AND TEXTURES
When it comes to modern luxe interiors may incorporate bold colours in accents, they typically rely on a neutral colour palette as a foundation.
Shades of white, cream, beige, gray, and taupe create a timeless and elegant backdrop for the space.
This neutral palette anchors the space allowing lavish elements to take center stage.
To add another layer, we love incorporating jewel tones into furnishings, accessories, and other accents. These richly saturated hues add richness and depth. Think deep blues, greens, and burgundies.
To bring it all together we incorporate smooth and lustrous textures to add richness and opulence to the space. Beautiful, high-quality materials are the perfect vehicle to add these textures.
HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS
Here are some of our favourite materials to incorporate in modern luxe interior design.
Marble
Both timeless and elegant this classic material adds a touch of luxury. The polished surface and natural veining ooze sophistication and refinement. We use it as countertops, fireplace surrounds, or backsplashes to add a modern luxe touch.
Velvet
The smooth, plush texture creates a sense of opulence and sophistication. We love using velvet as upholstery for furniture such as sofas, armchairs, or ottomans but it can also be used as a beautiful accent through toss cushions or drapery.
Brass
Brass and gold accents add warmth and glamour to modern luxe interiors. These metallic finishes have a lustrous texture that catches the light and adds a sense of luxury to the space. We love incorporating brass and gold accents through light fixtures, hardware, mirrors, and decorative accessories.
Textural Wall Elements
It wouldn’t be a modern, luxe space without beautiful millwork elements. We love incorporating wall panelling in unique profiles and textures to elevate a space.
Another favourite? Wallpaper. There are so many design possibilities and many incorporate luxurious sheen, metallics, and graphic elements that add so much interest to a space.
Mohair
Modern luxe interior design just calls for mohair. We always find ourselves reaching for this fabric when we are making selections.
Mohair is made from the hair of the angora goat and is one of the most durable and resilient fabrics you can find.
We love it because of the high sheen and colours – they are truly next level. Mohair takes dye extremely well making the colours so saturated and deep that we find it hard to replicate the depth of colour in other fabrics.
LIGHTING
Ahh the jewelry of a space. Lighting is a fairly simple way to make a big impact in a space.
The perfect statement fixture enhances the ambiance, emphasizes design elements, and creates a show-stopping focal point.
Modern luxe interior design screams for fixtures made from high-quality materials such as brass, glass, and crystal.
Another consideration is accent lighting for art and décor. Whether it be recessed pots with adjustable heads, picture lights, or a good-looking track lighting system (emphasis on good looking 😊) accent lights draw attention to focal points and create visual interest.
Strategically illuminating artworks, sculptures, and other décor accent lighting adds depth and drama to a space.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
In modern luxe interiors every element, from the architectural features to the furnishings and decor, is carefully selected and executed to the highest standards.
Fine craftsmanship and meticulous detailing contribute to the overall sense of luxury and refinement within the space.
The time we take to thoughtfully make every selection, from hardware to trims, elevates the overall quality and aesthetic of the space.
This also extends to everyone involved in the project, we only work with quality trades and vendors to ensure the best craftsmanship and overall experience.
FURNITURE AND ACCESSORIES
Modern luxe interior design features statement furniture pieces that serve as focal points.
These pieces are characterized by their unique design, high-quality craftsmanship, and luxurious materials.
When it comes to modern luxe interior design accessories it is all about being intentional – less is more.
A few accessories with clean and simple forms allow luxurious elements to stand out while contributing to a sophisticated and calm atmosphere.
