Luxury is a term often thrown around in the design world and it seems to have taken on a slightly different definition as of late. Terms like simple elegance and casual luxury lend themselves to a very different approach to the way we design spaces. Luxury now can mean anything that makes you feel rich (in whatever capacity that entails). Surrounding yourself in things that you love - unique artwork, handmade tschotskes, plush fabrics - means that every time you walk into a space you think "I love this room!" And that is a designer's true goal.
My book selection of the week addresses this perfectly. Defining Luxury: The Qualities of Life at Home. The collection of spaces designed by Jeffrey Bilhuber are beautifully photographed to capture the character of each room, the details that make it feel casual and elegant at the same time.
