CONTEMPORARY OASIS: HOW COUPLES CAN DESIGN A CALMING, LUXURIOUS HOME TOGETHER
In a world overflowing with stimulation, creating a home that soothes the senses without sacrificing visual impact is a modern luxury. The latest in designer furnishings offers a masterclass in how couples can curate interiors that are serene, sophisticated, and still full of personality. Far from the sterility of minimalism, today’s contemporary spaces embrace calm through intentional design, blending soft lines, rich textures, and artistic accents. Your home should be a sanctuary – one that reflects your shared style, sup-ports your lifestyle, and serves as an oasis in your everyday life. The best way to start is by selecting pieces that are functional, yet offer a high-impact aesthetic that resonates with your collective style.
Designed to take center stage in the living room, the Air Soft Free Sofa by Lago is a floating white statement piece that feels like a cloud. Its modular design and soft silhouette are ideal for open-concept living, offering both comfort and versatility. Couples can also pair it with the Happening Chair, also by Lago, for a designer furniture duo that exudes quiet luxury – perfect for those who love to host.

For dining or collaborative spaces, the HOA Table by Lago is a sculptural masterpiece. With its minimalist lines and architectural presence, it anchors the room without overwhelming it. Whether enjoying a quiet breakfast together or an elegant dinner party, this table brings a sense of refinement to everyday rituals.
When designing a calming home together, don’t forget to leave room for a touch of whimsy. The Trunk-Bar by Fornasetti x Poltrona Frau is a showstopper with universal appeal. Its butterfly motif adds an artistic flourish to any space, bridging the gap between functional design and collectible art – not to mention, striking the perfect balance between craftsmanship and charm.
Textiles and accessories also play a key role in creating a luxury home. Designer throw pillows in neutral colors by Christian Lacroix Maison bring texture and an understated flashiness to a room. Harking back to the days of wearing designer names and labels like a billboard, having one or two accent pillows is a playful way to incorporate a bit of vintage style without being too over-the-top or kitschy. Th ese finishing touches work wonders to make a house feel like a home, transforming sofas and chairs with a plush accent.

A well-designed home doesn’t have to be loud or overstimulating to make a statement. Instead, the home can become a stylish retreat that reflects the personalities and shared vision of its owners. By mindfully selecting the right pieces, couples can create a luxury home that is both calming and expressive, allowing art and function to harmoniously coexist.
