In the world of interior design, ‘luxury’ often conjures images of opulence and grandeur. But what if true luxury could also be synonymous with sustainability, wellbeing, and timeless design? At Design@Studio17, we believe these elements are not mutually exclusive; they are the very foundation of exceptional living spaces that our clients truly love. As a interior design studio that thinks a little differently, we specialise in creating luxury living rooms that are not only breathtakingly beautiful but also deeply mindful of our planet and the way you wish to live.

The Art of Longevity: Timeless Design for Luxury Living Rooms
For us, following trends and fleeting fads have no place in a truly luxurious home. Our philosophy at Design@Studio17 is rooted in creating timeless luxury living room designs that transcend passing trends. This means focusing on:
Exceptional Craftsmanship: We champion artisans and manufacturers who share our commitment to quality and durability. From bespoke furniture pieces to meticulously selected finishes, every element is chosen for its longevity and enduring beauty. #detailsmatter
Classic Silhouettes and Proportions: While we embrace contemporary living, our designs incorporate classic principles of balance, harmony, and proportion. This ensures your living room will feel elegant and sophisticated for years to come, avoiding the need for constant redecoration.
Investment Pieces: A luxury living room is an investment in your home and your lifestyle. With expert guidance, our clients feel confident in selecting key pieces that will not only enhance their space today but also retain their value and appeal for decades.

The Heart of the Home: Prioritising Wellbeing in Your Luxury Living Room
Your living room is more than just a space for entertaining; it's a haven for relaxation, connection, and personal reflection. At Design@Studio17, wellbeing is intrinsically woven into our luxury living room designs. We achieve this through:
Harmonious Flow and Layout: We meticulously plan room layouts that promote a sense of ease and comfort, ensuring seamless movement and inviting conversational areas. A well-designed flow reduces stress and enhances the overall experience of the room. This aspect of room design can be difficult to anticipate in the planning stages, but with our interior design experience in space planning, you can be sure that every inch of your living room design will feel effortless to spend time in.
Thoughtful Lighting Design: Natural light is maximised, and artificial lighting is strategically layered to create a warm, inviting, and adaptable ambience. We prioritise lighting solutions that support a comfortable level of lighting (‘big’ light for emergencies only!) and promote a sense of calm throughout the day; and as the day turns into night, your living room lighting remains an inviting and comforting space to spend the evening.
Biophilic Elements: Integrating natural elements like plants, natural wood, and stone textures brings the calming influence of the outdoors in. Biophilic design has been proven to reduce stress and improve overall mood, making your luxury living room a true sanctuary.
Sensory Richness: We consider all senses - from the soft touch of luxurious and textured fabrics to the subtle scent of natural materials and essential oils used to fragrance a room. We carefully curate luxury living room designs that support the overall feel of the room and enhance the visual harmony of the design.

Luxury: A Core Value at Design@Studio17
The word ‘luxury’ shouldn't come at the expense of our planet. Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us; it's a fundamental principle guiding every decision at Design@Studio17. When designing your luxury living room, we actively seek out:
Ethically Sourced Materials: We prioritise materials that are recycled, renewable, or sourced from responsibly managed forests. This includes FSC-certified timber, natural fibres like organic cotton and linen, and recycled glass.
Vintage & Antique Pieces: We work with suppliers who share our values and also appreciate the craftsmanship and uniqueness of period items that have been hand-sourced and then lovingly restored by them.
Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Finishes: We specify paints, finishes, and adhesives that minimise harmful chemicals, ensuring healthier indoor air quality for you and your family.
Local Artisans and Suppliers: Whenever possible, we collaborate with local craftspeople and suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint and support regional economies.
Longevity and Durability: By creating designs that are built to last, we reduce the need for frequent replacements, minimising waste and resource consumption.
