Whispering Luxe
Whispering Luxe
The term ‘quiet luxury’ has taken the interiors world by storm of late – but what does it mean? The essence is curated simplicity, spaces that exude subtle indulgence and effortless elegance achieved by relying on design classics and opulent-yet-understated materials such as timber, stone and natural textiles. It’s a subtle under-the-radar sophistication that doesn’t make too much visual noise. Think timeless palettes such as neutrals that never go out of style – quality is key.
While that’s all well and good, what’s coming next is what we’re calling ‘Whispering Luxury,’ which still zooms in on excellence, timelessness, refinement, and careful selection, but with a dash of fun and personality mixed in. More characterful, less austere. A way to live with both chic-ness and joy.

"Forget other peoples rules and aesthetics"
From sofas to rugs to lighting to a single show-stopping accessory, size doesn’t matter – the key is how the objects stand out from the room, and what they say about you, plus what you’ll say about them, they’ll be talking points after all. Do they bring in unexpected colour? Interesting texture? Are they displayed in an unexpected way? Do they mix eyebrow-raising colours? Choose the pieces because they make your heart beat faster, make your day better, fill you with unbridled joy. Forget other people’s rules or aesthetics.

Say it quitely
Whispering Luxury still focuses on high-quality, designer icons that are crafted to last a lifetime, and rooms should still be places that feel beautiful but not overdone, but now we’re adding in the occasional statement object, conversation-prompting pieces of design to show off our personality and taste in a way that elevates the everyday, as well as being elegant.
The trick to keeping the balance is to bringing in a small number of bold/unusual/eye- catching pieces – one or two items – to bolster a classy, classic room. Think of them like finishing flourishes, the cherries on top of the beautiful, carefully constructed trifle.
