Urban & luxe · Style guide
Modern Luxe interiors. Quiet, polished, indulgent.
Sleek, tailored rooms with luxurious materials and a restrained palette: veined stone, soft metallics, plush fabrics and layered lighting. The luxury comes from quality and detail rather than decoration.
The palette
Colours that feel refined, calm, indulgent.
Pearl and greige, with champagne, smoke and onyx for a polished finish. A reading for mood, not a paint specification.

Good questions
Modern Luxe answered.
Does modern luxe have to be expensive?
It’s about where you invest. One stone surface, good lighting and well-made joinery can carry the look, with simpler finishes elsewhere.
Is marble hard to live with?
Natural marble can stain and etch, so it needs care. Quartz and porcelain are popular alternatives with a similar look.
How do I keep it from feeling cold?
Add soft textures like bouclé, velvet and a cotton or wool-blend rug, and use warm-white lighting in layers.
