The New Luxury: Individuality, quality and sustainability in interior design

This book explores what 'luxury' in interior design means today and how to achieve it. How can a luxurious sustainable interior be attainable regardless of budget? Quiet luxury in interior design taps into the power of understated and timeless elegance. Through the tactical deployment of quality, craftsmanship and materials, it celebrates restraint aesthetically and in its sparing use of resources. Every aspect of a design – furniture, fittings and décor – is conceived to endure. As a design approach, New Luxury adeptly steers a course between affordable, accessible products and the unattainably costly, bespoke interiors market. It demonstrates how the disposable comes at a cost, and longevity and quality can be achieved on a modest budget. Richly illustrated with beautiful interiors from a wide geographic range, including the UK, North America and Europe, this is a book that showcases how designers and homeowners alike can achieve spaces at very different scales and in a wide range of locations that prioritise durability and sustainability. Encompassing a wide range of interiors contexts, from historic to modern, from urban to coastal and rural, all design treatments share a focus on quality fabrics and materials, sustainable credentials and complementary tones.
