Layout

Start with flow, not furniture

A luxury living room feels effortless because movement is effortless. We plan circulation first, then anchor the room with a clean focal line — a feature wall, a window view, or a sculpted media unit.

Materials

Pick one hero finish, support it with neutrals

Luxury is rarely “more”. It’s usually one strong material choice (stone, veneer, textured paint) balanced with calm surfaces so the room feels refined — not busy.

Lighting

Layer light for mood + function

Use three layers: ambient (overall), task (reading, corners), and accent (wash walls, art). The right mix makes the room look premium even at night.
