Quiet luxury has never been louder. While this trend has captured the imaginations of the well heeled globally, in the world of interiors this has led to a shift towards materials that are high in quality, furniture that is sculptural, decor that's one-of-itskind, showpieces that are limited edition and functional art that's beautiful and bespoke.
For those who are still confused, take a tour with us to a duplex in Alipore, Kolkata, home to interior designer Ajay Arya and his wife Sweta. It brings 6,000 sq ft space to life with antique carpets, stainless steel sculptures, heirloom pieces, crystals and art. The play of light and shadow, low and high volumes, and old and new, leaves the eyes enchanted and the hearts wanting more.
"For me quiet luxury means something that is very peaceful and soothing, that does not hurt the eye, including being close to nature," says Ajay Arya. It became the befitting starting point to create his home during the pandemic. "Our home with its neutral colour tones is very soothing and the bursts of colours brought in through the art, contradict and complement," he adds.
