WHAT DEFINES LUXURY IN THE FUTURE

While the trend of customization was ramping up before the pandemic,moving
on clients will want designs that echo their personalities and interests even more.
" I believe it comes down to really thoughtful custom design that fits the
current now of the contemporary family, " said Kansas City, Mo.-based Jennifer Bertrand, adding that the pandemic has only made the upscale client
all the more willing to spend on luxury home moments. " Everything will be
even more customizable. "
Color is one of the top ways they might do that.With more neutral,grounding colors trending as the foundational tones, clients will want to implement
pops of bright, fun hues that express their personalities and bring them joy.
" In the future, I believe we will see more color in luxury design, " said Mary
Patton of Mary Patton Design in Houston. " Gray is over. "
Going forward, the luxury market will include flexibility to accommodate today's families, who have changing needs and different activities
taking place in the same environment. This was happening pre-pandemic
but has escalated, inspiring homeowners to really think about how to make
their home function best for their families going forward.
" The future of luxury design will be less about adding square footage and more
about creating a curated home with detail that is very personal to the homeowners, " said Kolb. " They are more likely to invest in items that will make their space
truly special for them and make them love their homes again. "
Gone are the days when high cost defined luxury.Today's homeowners can get
that opulent look and feel without breaking the bank and still appreciate a whiteglove experience from their design pro. Customization and personalization are
key, and meeting changing luxury needs moving forward will be imperative. 
