Luxury Interior Design for Real Life 

So often there is a push and pull between design for real life and luxury interior design. However, in our world, designing for real life can live harmoniously with luxury interior design. It’s just a matter of finding balance and knowing what decisions on textiles and tools. We’re shedding light on how to curate a stylish home that’s prepared for the realities of day-to-day life, from performance fabrics , self cleaning toilets, and everything in between! 

PERFORMANCE FABRICS AND SURFACES

You don’t need to give up those white couch dreams for fear of staining. With the right materials a light neutral room is completely attainable and can withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. Prioritize textiles like fiber-sealed and perennial fabrics to craft that luxurious look while knowing the materials’ high-performance factor. 

Choosing fabric compositions that stand the test of time go beyond furniture and throws. High traffic rugs can also be designed for real life with fiber-sealed and scotchguarded materials. Wool-blends and synthetic blends are extremely convenient for maintenance and pricing while still score high on design. Countertops can not be forgotten either. Self healing surfaces, artificial or synthetically-created surfaces that have the built-in ability to withstand and repair damages are very forgiving and can go head-to-head with messy-makeup or hot food.. Also, reating antimicrobial statement surfaces allows for style and functionality. 

SMART APPLIANCES

Multipurpose furniture like a small console table is the perfect way to squeeze in extra storage in addition to extra seating or even a small surface area for working in your living spaces. Auxiliary spaces also offer modern design and efficient usage of space.
