This book explores what 'luxury' in interior design means today and how to achieve it, and provides inspirational examples of projects from a range of designers that meet the parameters of quiet luxury. Like many other sectors, interior design can be polarised: the luxury, unattainable end, and the cheap and cheerful lower end.

This book disregards this dichotomy and shows how designers can avoid a throw-away culture, cleaving to that idea of longevity and high-quality above the cheap and flimsy, even for those with smaller budgets. Illustrated with beautiful examples of projects, this is a book that showcases how interior designers and homeowners alike can achieve an interior space that prioritises quality and sustainability on every kind of budget, focusing on quality fabrics and materials, sustainable credentials and complementary tones.
