Quiet luxury, similar to the 'old money' aesthetic, has been at the forefront of the fashion and design world for some time now, and this concept shows no signs of abating as we move through the years.
This trend prioritizes quality over quantity over conspicuous consumption, characterized by understated elegance – a look that comes to life in Kendall Jenner's quiet luxury living room.
The 'trend' champions subtle color palettes and luxury materials, helping to establish a look that feels wonderfully cozy, warm, and serene – a true antidote to modern, stark minimalism. However, unlike many trends, this one is arguably not a trend at all – it’s less about a specific look and more about creating an atmosphere that is timeless and evokes a feeling of understated elegance.

'A layered, lived-in look where heirlooms, vintage details, and childhood color schemes bring a timeless soulfulness to the home come Christmas.'
