JEWEL TONES
AND RICH HUES
PROVIDE DRAMA
Jewel tones and rich hues exude
opulence and make a dramatic
statement. These colors prompt people
to take notice (think sapphire blue,
emerald green, amethyst purple and
ruby red). Layer jewel tones and rich
hues for the most dramatic impact.
You can use jewel tones and richly hued
colors on walls, furniture and accent
pieces. Pair these shades with neutrals
or mix them amongst themselves for a
bold and glamorous look.

PASTELS
ARE SUBTLY
SOPHISTICATED
High-end interiors designed with pastels
are often associated with femininity
and softness. This subtly sophisticated
look promotes a feeling of peace and
tranquility, especially when done in
muted blues, soft greens, pale pinks,
and light lavenders.
Use pastels to strategically and
intentionally paint a canvas for
statement light fixtures, high-end
textures, and chic art pieces. Adding
upscale metals to the mix brings a bit
of modernity to these beautiful and
classic colors.
The Future of LUXURY HOME OFFICES
HOME OFFICES
If you live in a luxury home and work in a hybrid work
environment, your home office should have the same upscale
aesthetic as the rest of your residence. But, your workspace
should be both highly functional and thoughtfully personalized
to meet your needs.
LOOK AT LIGHTING
Natural lighting is best during the day, but if you need to work at night (and
it’ll be rainy and overcast sometimes), you’ll want to choose quality artificial
light sources. Light affects mood and motivation. And, since you’ll spend
much of your time in your home office if you work in a hybrid work environment, you’ll need to consider how lighting will
keep you functional and happy. CONSIDER
ORGANIZATION Additional factors come into play when
designing a luxury home office. For example, you’ll want to understand
how to best approach temperature control, soundproofing, technology
and sustainability, so you can focus on work and enjoy your time in your
hybrid workspace.
DESIGN IT TO BE PERSONAL
Your luxury home office should reflect
your personality and style. Consider
the color, artwork, furnishings and
technology you desire, and ensure
they’re in sync with how you see
yourself working. Explore whether your
hybrid work environment should be a functional extension of your main
residence, keeping with the same style
or a space completely its own—a true
separate space with its own aesthetic.
