24. Quiet Luxury, what is it and how to apply to interiors.

The concept of "quiet luxury" refers to a type of luxury that is not ostentatious or exaggerated in its display, but rather is discreet and subtle. This type of luxury is more related to quality, attention to detail, and craftsmanship rather than brand or price. Instead of showing wealth through ostentation, quiet luxury is presented through elegance, sobriety, and quality in design and construction. Key characteristics of quiet luxury include: Attention to detail: Every aspect of the design, from the materials used to the finishes and layout of the furniture, is carefully selected and executed. High-quality materials: Natural and high-quality materials such as solid wood, natural stone, and genuine leather are preferred, which have a superior feel and durability. Simplicity and elegance: Designs are often minimalist and timeless, without unnecessary adornments or eye-catching elements. Discretion: It is not about displaying brands or symbols of wealth, but rather about enjoying the beauty and comfort provided by well-designed and built spaces. Craftsmanship quality: Expert craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail are valued, which are evident in the quality of construction and finishes. Comfort and well-being: The focus is on creating spaces that promote well-being and comfort, often incorporating advanced technology to increase comfort and efficiency. Quiet luxury is appreciated by those who value quality and experience over ostentation and excess. Instead of drawing attention with extravagant design, it seeks to enhance everyday life through quality, comfort, and attention to detail.   In this Episode I share my experience and how to apply quiet luxury to projects.  Thank you for listening; your support genuinely means the world :) Miriam Prada A bit about me... I am a Building Engineer and interior designer, specializing in high-end projects. With 15 years of experience in the design industry, I've had the privilege of collaborating with a wide range of clients, including developers, builders, real estate agents, entrepreneurs, and private clients. I've successfully completed over 25 projects in seven different countries (Spain, the United Kingdom, Bahrain, India, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and Switzerland) and have had the pleasure of working with clients from 11 nationalities. My most valuable project to date exceeds £50 million, and one of my notable achievements was designing a development of 16 apartments where the penthouse set a historic record as the highest-priced one-bedroom per square meter in the history of Westminster, London. Currently based in London, I continue working on multiple local and international projects. Leveraging the capabilities of the digital world, I've produced and launched this podcast, 'Atelier Prada,' where, in a relaxed and colloquial way, I address various topics in the world of interior design with the goal of sharing some of the knowledge acquired over these years.
