What is modern luxury furniture?

What we call luxury is always relative and highly subjective. In the past, running water, heating, and frequent consumption of meat dishes were a privilege. Today, this is taken for granted by many people. In the same way, having muscle and low fat content was a sign of hard work and low social status. Now, a slim and trained body is intimately linked to the image of self-made success. It’s all a matter of perception.

Still, luxury is not determined arbitrarily. It’s by nature rare and not essential to survival. Luxury goods are those that can be possessed mainly by wealthy and powerful individuals. This has made them valuable. It also implies that the value of luxury furniture is not really proportional to the purchase price. Anything that justifies its cost not by any particular utility but only by its beauty and rarity is thus considered luxury.

In addition to the luxury villa, the expensive car or the private swimming pool, there are also other items that are worth a fair price. Occasionally indulging in one of these luxury items can give you a real sense of satisfaction, whether these are beds, chairs or tables. Design is about creating an object in its most beautiful and noble form. That is why design furniture and accessories clearly fall into this category.

 

The extraordinary beauty of design pieces goes far beyond their practical usefulness. In addition to being functional and comfortable, you also want the furniture in question to have unique aesthetics. This is precisely what Modern Resale offers with their luxury furniture.

The marriage of luxury and design

The home and its design has long been treated quite casually, but in 2020 it became a new playground for luxury brands as a result of people being home more.

Designer furniture has become strategic for this luxury market. The added value of products and image management are now really making a difference. All the cards are currently being distributed in a sector that is only waiting to be transformed:

  • Position statements
  • Alliances with high-end furniture or textile publishers
  • New strategies

Everything is now being played out in the field of real estate. Hotels and condominiums are becoming the new showcases of luxury. Big, luxury brands all have hotels in their name in Europe, as well as in the Middle East and Asia. Among them are:

  • Missoni
  • Ferragamo
  • Moschino
  • Bulgari
  • Versace
  • Armani

The time is ripe for alliances. For these brands, it’s merely a matter of exchanging know-how with partners. They’re often from different fields of business, but share common values. Armani is engaged to Roca for bathrooms, Molteni & C Dada for kitchens, and Rubelli for textiles. As for Hermès, it has chosen one of the Italian pillars B & B Italia for the manufacture of its furniture. The brand has created a joint venture with Dedar for textiles. Little by little, the contours of the map of a new "luxe-design" business are taking shape. French or Italian furniture are particularly appreciated.

 

The contemporary movement

When it comes to luxury furniture stores in Los Angeles., the current movement does not characterize a specific design. It's instead a temporal reference. In this case, it’s a style that dates from the beginning of the industrial era. This goes from the end of the Second World War to the present day. In other words, it refers to our time.

It can be recognized by the use of:

  • Molded plywood
  • Plastic
  • Bright steel

The decorations are designed with a desire for clean design without too many decorative motifs. The color mainly used is white. Most of the existing pieces are considered current, and some of them have also become real icons. The design of modern furniture is characterized by the following points:

  • The use of natural materials
  • Unique and original shapes to break the industry's patterns
  • Surfaces made with warm colors and textures
  • A priority of comfort and ergonomics
  • A design with clear and pure lines

In other words, the current movement in luxury furniture embraces all the decorations that are produced and sold today. It follows the trends and fashions of the moment. You can get second hand luxury furniture from great luxury furniture stores like Modern Resale.

Enhance your home with luxury furniture

Modern luxury furniture obviously comes at a certain price. As you may know, it's often not very affordable--although Modern Resale helps by providing quality discount luxury furniture at a great price.  The interior and outdoor models are exclusive and not accessible to everyone. Do you want to embellish your home with a touch of luxury? Here are the main things you need to pay attention to when shopping for this type of furniture:

The room decor space layout

As far as the layout of your home is concerned, the most important thing is to keep it simple. One of the main codes of the contemporary luxury living room is the airy aspect it gives off.

You shouldn't pile up furniture and decorative objects at the risk of overloading the room. If you do overload the room, then your luxury furniture won't be able to stand out properly any more.

 

It can also be a good idea to determine living spaces in your home, especially if you have enough space. For example, a library or a television corner could create a cozy spot. This can be done with the help of decorative objects such as carpets, which will also bring a warm touch to your room furniture.

The colors of your modern interior design or living room

To keep it clean and trendy, don't add more than three colors to your room. Additionally, you have to play with the shades to keep some warmth. However, make sure that you don't overdo it so as to avoid overwhelming the room.

When it comes to choosing the right color, white is obviously a timeless color. It will enlarge your room, illuminate it, and allow your furniture to stand out. You can also choose more fun and trendy colors such as duck blue combined with mustard yellow. Of course, you will have to balance these tones.

If you have trouble with colors that are too bright but you want to bring a pop touch to your room, you can choose to apply them only on a part of the wall. This works very well, especially if you want to make a particular piece of furniture or element stand out.

The lights in your decor

One of the main characteristics of the contemporary house is its high level of brightness.

When designing your room, it’s best to choose large bay windows. However, if you just want to redecorate the room and don't want to do any major work, you can also bring some trendy lights.

We especially like the big industrial style bulbs which are very modern and which also bring a lot of light. The small lamps--placed on the floor--will bring a very warm spirit in addition to the big chandeliers.

How to decorate a contemporary home?

When it comes to decorative objects, the first thing to talk about is rugs. Rugs are timeless and classic, and will bring an essential touch of elegance to your dining or living room furniture. As specified before, rugs will also separate the different living spaces. They bring warmth and structure to your home.

We especially like the cocooning carpets, which give a cozy nest look to your room. But if you’re a very modern type of person, you should go for cowhide rugs on a waxed concrete floor, or fabric rugs in a light accent. Gray rugs work well in that case, but you can customize them any way that you want. This solution is particularly suited to a parquet floor in oak, for example.

Avoid Trinkets In Your Space

We avoid trinkets of all kinds. That’s because they’re not of high quality. They will clutter up your room and at the same time spoil the beautiful materials that you have placed in it. A contemporary living room should be both airy and comfortable. So don't hesitate to go for stools like this set of 3 stools by Knoll. They give your home a very warm look and make your guests feel comfortable in them.

 

Also think about the cushions. Their color should match your chairs or sofas. And of course do not forget to select some quality works of art to customize your interior. These are the height of luxury. They will bring a lot of cachet and singularity to your room furniture.

Styling tips for your living room furniture

With the following tips from our outdoor and interior design experts, you will quickly succeed in creating a luxury home with a stunning effect!

  1. Think about high quality materials! Cashmere, silk, velvet, lambskin or wool should be used specifically. This creates a classy look. You should avoid buying synthetic fibers. They are not suitable for this style of furnishing.
  2. The attention to detail! Find luxury decorations that will make your furniture eye-catching. Make sure that zippers and zip fasteners are well integrated into the decorative cushions. Keep the design simple enough.
  3. As luxury furniture is expensive, it’s worth investing in high quality accessories. Fur blankets, velvety cushions or crystal glasses and brass candleholders are all great choices. These allow the room furniture to immediately appear elegant and luxury. More importantly, this can be achieved without having to invest a large amount of money.
  4. Less is more! Small rooms in particular quickly become overcrowded. Too much furniture and accessories give a chaotic look to your home. Instead, you should rely on beautiful individual rooms. Create a luxury home atmosphere to please both the residents and the guests.
  5. Let your wall do the talking! Yes, high-quality wallpapers also show luxury in a home. They embellish the room furniture individually and make it visually more interesting.
