Luxury Today

Bigger isn’t necessarily better anymore. Instead, luxury consumers today seek refined design that resonates with lifestyle, panoramic views and even more indulgent amenities. Classic estates will never go out of style but what elevates a home from mundane to luxurious has changed. Function, comfort and individuality replace formerly ornate qualities.

Elegance today often translates into a simplicity of styles, clean lines, visual and tactile textures, maximizing natural light, personalization and technology. Those with funds unlimited often seek exactly what they want, but wealthy empty nesters desire smaller homes. Although clients with larger homes, over 10, 000 square feet, desire all functional spaces. They want the furniture to be comfortable and approachable, not overly precious so you can’t sit on it.

Location remains the overriding luxury determinate, and the addition of a view only heightens cachet and value. Design itself is typically not an attribute of grand residences rather the aesthetics which is the biggest trend in luxury home building. Indoor swimming pools, poker rooms, movie/game rooms, wine cellars and bowling alleys create entire amenity inclusions from what they were 10 years ago.

Smart home technology has gone from “WOW” to “NOW” or something expected in a high end home. Expect to see technology become more integral to homes as it increasingly sync's with everyday functions.
