Luxury furniture is an expression of deep passion for perfection, and love for craft and the unusual. Today, it is also the projection of an owner of multifaceted personality, who lives life with curated choices—of objects, style, sensibility, and higher order consciousness. In that sense, the well-designed pieces transcend the financial worth of the owner and the home, and elevate themselves to represent an evolution of a cultured mind. Ergo, the need and acceptance of affordable luxury in furniture across the globe, because a cultured mind is not exclusive to only the rich and the famous. Just like the difference between pret and couture, art, skill and workmanship surround a luxury furniture piece and gives it the attention it deserves. Even a single accent chair, an asymmetric coffee table, a recliner, or an avant-garde table lamp can become a hotspot and a conversation starter in a room. A ‘homey’ feel is always important and you must be careful that decorative furniture does not turn your room or living space into a museum or a gallery of objects. Next, keep things in motion. That will create different dynamics between paired objects and generate new feelings. Be conscious of the focal point of the room. For example, in a living room, it could be the TV on the wall or a centre table. If possible, zoning of rooms for different usages is a great idea and they can be marked with specific furniture. For example, a main sofa, or a sectional or a couch are comfortable and elegant complements here. A chaise or an armchair rounds off the area and adds visual balance, and an accent chair creates a bold counterpoint. A recliner in a reading zone next to a window, or facing a balcony, makes a peaceful corner. Pair it with a tall floor lamp that’s functional as well as a sculpture. Side tables, sofa tables, cabinets and Ottomans make a room functional and intimate. Sofa tables are long narrow tables that go behind a sofa, against its back. Side tables flank armchairs and sofas. An Ottoman is a versatile gem. It can be used as a decorative footstool, a cocktail table substitute, or even a space-saving storage. Bar cabinets and Trolleys add an aura of glamour to the room. Depending on how big your living room is, your budget, personal aesthetics and usage, use some of these luxury furniture ideas to create a space that resonates with your personality.
