7 Ways to Bring the Quiet Luxury Trend Into the Bedroom

There was a time—especially in the 1980s or even as recent as the 2000s—when glitz, glamour, and luxury were more obvious and head-turning. 

There was nothing quiet about these luxe trends, and that’s what made them popular. But today, with things like minimalism and feng shui on the rise, people are looking for quieter ways to express their style and create a luxurious environment in their homes without shouting about it.

That’s where something called “quiet luxury” comes in. In fact, it’s a trend that seems to be everywhere these days, from fashion to interior design.

Quiet luxury is gaining popularity because it emphasizes quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design over ostentatious, trend-driven aesthetics, explains Margarita Bravo, interior designer and founder of Margarita Bravo. “In today’s fast-paced world, people crave serene, understated elegance that offers lasting value,” she says.

But what does quiet luxury mean, exactly? Ahead, we’ll explore the quiet luxury furniture trend and how to bring this style into the bedroom.

So, what is quiet luxury? According to Bravo, the quiet luxury trend focuses on understated elegance and subtle sophistication. “It values high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and timeless design, offering a refined look without ostentation,” she reiterates. “Additionally, quiet luxury emphasizes the uniqueness, personality, and lifestyle of the client, creating spaces that are not only luxurious but also deeply personal and tailored to individual tastes.”

What is quiet luxury furniture?

Quiet luxury furniture design elements

Some features are notable when it comes to quiet luxury furniture. Some of the critical elements of quiet luxury furniture include minimalist design, sleek lines, high-quality materials, and impeccable craftsmanship, says Bravo. 

“The focus is on creating a serene, elegant atmosphere with pieces that exude subtle sophistication,” she observes. “Quiet luxury furniture reflects the uniqueness and personality of the homeowner, ensuring each piece feels personalized and resonates with the individual’s tastes and preferences.”

Types of quiet luxury furniture

What types of furniture can be found in this style, particularly for the bedroom? In sleeping spaces, quiet luxury furniture tends to include plush, upholstered beds, sleek nightstands, elegant dressers, and minimalistic lighting, says Bravo. “The emphasis is on creating a calm, restful environment with seamlessly blended pieces,” she notes. 

A high-quality mattress has also become an essential part of the design as people increasingly value the investment in themselves, prioritizing rest and quality time, adds Bravo. “This focus on a superior mattress underscores the importance of comfort and well-being in the overall aesthetic of quiet luxury,” she says.

When seeking out quiet luxury brands, or ones that create furniture pieces that best fit the quiet luxury trend, look for companies that emphasize quality over everything else and also portray a sleek aesthetic. 

For instance, Saatva can be considered a quiet luxury furniture brand because our pieces are made with only the finest materials, and they happen to be durable and stylish as well.

2. Keep your color palette neutral and add personal touches and subtle accents.
