Do You Know Quiet Luxury? One of 2023's Strongest Home Decor Trends

Vikki Grodner, REALTOR & Certified Interior Designer

While we are seeing the return of color in home decor (have you had enough gray and stark white yet?), another hot interior trend for 2023 is what is known as "quiet luxury." Quiet luxury emphasizes calm, serene spaces that are sophisticated, elegant and maintain a timeless appeal. It is a minimalism with a hug, using high quality materials with texture and richness that pick up the warmer tones in nature and in life. As is often the case, tastes evolve from both a weariness to recent, sometimes overdone design trends and from other influences, such as fashion runways.


So how can you create "quiet luxury" in your home?

Texture has long been a favorite technique of designers to bring interest to a space. Now, more than ever, interior designers are using nubby fabrics, textured wall art and minimal but impactful decorative items to bring a sense of quiet luxury to the home. Strategic layering of thoughtful throws, pillows, and wicker/raffia decorative items is resulting in a simple elegance we can all achieve and get behind.

Introducing more earthy, natural elements and wood tones can also help to create quiet luxury. As both a nod to the environment and a way to warm a space, simple, natural wooden slat walls and unpainted wood elements are having a moment again.

And finally, create restful sanctuaries that are elegant in their simplicity and in their ability to help you de-stress and recharge when you are home, away from a sometimes chaotic world. Cocoon at home with beautiful things that have meaning to you. Clutter is not quiet luxury, but layering and surrounding yourself with things you love, is.
