Luxury interior design has never belonged to a single definition. It is not a matter of opulence, ornamentation, or excess. But an expression of intention shaped by the stories embedded within a space. Luxe Edge explores this evolving vocabulary of luxury interiors. For some, luxury lies in being rooted: in indigenous craft, enduring materials, time-honoured techniques, and the richness of cultural memory. For others, it emerges through precision, innovation, or the choreography of architecture and furniture. Some spaces speak through tactile surfaces and elaborate detailing, while others find their grandeur in simplicity, silence, and considered restraint. What connects these diverse interpretations is not a shared aesthetic, but a shared pursuit of excellence.
Across each project, materiality becomes a language, craftsmanship becomes a signature. And detailing becomes an opportunity to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. Yet, beyond these common threads, every designer brings a distinct edge an instinct that makes their interpretation of luxury uniquely their own with luxury interior design. Luxe Edge is not a celebration of luxury as a fixed ideal, but an exploration of its -many possibilities. It looks beyond the surface to understand what truly makes a space feel luxurious: the thought behind every gesture, the integrity of every material, and the emotion that lingers long after the first impression. Because true luxury transcends what is seen to shape how a space is felt. True luxury transcends appearance, finding meaning in craftsmanship, thoughtful details, and emotion, transforming interiors into experiences that linger long after.
Architect Avni Patel of Arth Architecture, Mumbai, sees luxury as something deeply personal, shaped by context rather than convention. For the studio, it is found in spaces tailored so precisely to their inhabitants that they could belong to no one else. Restraint, material honesty and thoughtful proportions become essential to this understanding, with stone, wood and brass selected for how beautifully they evolve over time. This philosophy comes alive in their Worli Duplex Apartment, Mumbai, where the scale of the residence is balanced with a sense of intimacy and belonging. The city’s density becomes a backdrop for spaces that feel composed rather than excessive, allowing natural light, materiality and proportion to shape the experience. To her, luxury is less about what is displayed and more about creating a space that feels unmistakably personal, shaped by character, comfort and considered living.
Designer Sowmya Kumar of OWM Architecture, Coimbatore, defines luxury through what the studio calls “silent luxury”, where depth of thought takes precedence over opulence. Proportion, light, spatial composition and craftsmanship work together to create spaces in which every element feels purposeful. For the practice, luxury also emerges from a close reading of place, allowing climate, culture and architectural memory to influence everythin-g from volumes and surfaces to colour and detailing. This sensibility in shapes the Tvishi Jewellery Store in Pollachi, where the richness of Chettinad architecture is reinterpreted through a cohesive tonal palette, impactful furniture and bespoke details. Rather than treating maximalism as an exercise in abundance, the studio uses careful layering and curation to build depth without clutter. The result is a space where richness unfolds through detail and emotion.
Architect Swetha of Studio Vriksh, Hyderabad, sees luxury interior design through the lens of intent, where every design decision begins with observing and understanding its surroundings. For the practice, it lies in recognising the character of a place, its climate, materials, crafts and the way its people live. Local stone, wood and lime plaster become more than material choices, carrying the knowledge and traditions of the region into contemporary spaces. Coffee Sa-ngam reflects this approach through an architecture that feels connected to its setting rather than imposed upon it. Its design embraces a sense of belonging, allowing the surrounding environment and local sensibilities to shape the experience. For Studio Vriksh, the richest spaces are not necessarily the most elaborate, but those that feel relevant, grounded and considered, leaving behind a sense of place that grows more meaningful with time.
Principal Designer Nikita Jain of Indihaus, Delhi, finds luxury interior design in a sense of belonging, where comfort and individuality shape the experience of a space. For the studio, it can be as tactile as natural stone, as warm as finely finished wood, or as simple as the quiet generosity of light and space. This understanding comes through in Residence 222, where contemporary forms meet Indian materials, artisanal techniques and subtle cultural references to create an interior that feels rooted without becoming nostalgic. Textures, colours and carefully chosen details add character, while the overall composition retains a contemporary sensibility. Rather than relying on trends, Indihaus looks towards a more lasting expression, allowing materiality and personal touches to gain meaning over time. The result is a home where modernity feels warmer, craftsmanship feels relevant, and luxury becomes deeply individual.
Architects Prabhul Mathew and Shahana Salahudeen of Mindspark Architects, Kerala, place comfort at the heart of their understanding of luxury interior design. Rather than equating it with extravagance, the practice looks to the quieter pleasures of living, natural breeze, filtered light, shade, privacy and the tactile quality of materials. In the Summer Home, set within the landscape of Idukki, this idea unfolds through courtyards, shaded spaces, cross ventilation and carefully framed views that keep nature closely woven into everyday life. Exposed concrete, stone and timber form a restrained palette, allowing the surrounding greenery and changing daylight to become part of the experience. The transitions between indoors and outdoors further soften the boundaries of the home, creating spaces to pause and reconnect. For them luxury is not something placed on display, but a feeling built into the way the home is lived.
Designer Shivani Shah Jayasinha of Studio SSJ, Mumbai, sees luxury as something deeply personal, shaped by individuality, comfort and a sense of belonging. For her, a truly luxurious home is one that feels like an extension of the people who inhabit it, reflecting their memories, rituals and way of life. This understanding finds its most personal expression in Serendib, her Worli residence, Mumbai, created as a little piece of Sri Lanka within the city. Natural materials, Indian craftsmanship and collected objects come together with tropical modernist influences, while spaces such as the “Vintage Ceylon” bar carry stories from the family’s travels and heritage. Every detail has an emotional connection, making the home feel lived-in rather than styled. For her, luxury becomes the rare, lasting and deeply personal comfort of feeling completely and genuinely at home. It is a space where personal stories become part of the design itself.
Designer Anarr Gunjaria of Anarr Gunjaria Interiors, Ahmedabad, approaches luxury as a celebration of what is rare, authentic and made with care. Craftsmanship sits at the heart of this belief, where the value of a space comes not simply from what it costs, but from the skill, time and cultural knowledge woven into it. In Project, this sensibility finds expression through a restrained design language, natural materials and details that feel closely tied to their surroundings. Rather than treating heritage as something fixed in the past, the practice brings its influence into contemporary interiors through local sourcing, handcrafted elements and a quiet appreciation for material honesty. The result reflects Gunjaria’s belief that simplicity can carry depth, and that the most enduring spaces are those where tradition and innovation meet naturally. Luxury interior design, in this sense, becomes a form of storytelling. Every material and detail adds another layer.
Amit Porwal & Preeti Porwal, Co-founders of IPIPL, Mumbai, see luxury as an understanding of people, expressed through comfort, ease and thoughtful detail. For the studio, it is not simply about expensive materials or larger spaces, but about knowing when to create grandeur and when to exercise restraint. This philosophy comes alive in Calmika, a Mumbai residence, conceived as a refined urban retreat within the city’s constraints. A continuous wraparound deck brings light, air and openness into every room, while a restrained palette of greys, wood and textures creates warmth and depth. Curved furniture, layered thresholds and carefully planned spaces add moments of interaction and pause. For the studio, luxury interior design becomes experiential, creating a home that feels generous, personal and effortlessly comfortable. Every detail is designed to make everyday living feel elevated, warm and deeply personal.
Founders Abhay Agarwal and Namrata Somani of AN Architect, Kanpur, approach luxury through the quality of experience rather than the presence of excess. Their interpretation rests on proportion, natural light, materiality, craftsmanship and restraint, allowing spaces to feel generous without becoming overtly extravagant. In Echoing Arches, this sensibility can be seen through the careful balance of volume, light and material, creating an environment where architectural details reveal themselves gradually. Natural textures and warm, muted tones bring depth, while considered transitions and framed views strengthen the connection between spaces. Comfort and privacy further shape the experience, reflecting the studio’s belief that even a quiet garden or beautifully resolved detail can carry immense value. For AN Architect, luxury is experiencing better, creating spaces that feel refined yet effortless.
Architect Daanish Singh, founder of TBC Architecture, Chandigarh, approaches luxury through a sense of intention rather than excess. For the practice, true elegance lies in the extravagance of space, proportion, natural light, craftsmanship and materials that grow more beautiful with time. Rooted in Classical and Neoclassical architecture, their work brings together symmetry, hierarchy and scale with the needs of contemporary living. This philosophy finds expression in SRA’s Residence, where thoughtful spatial planning, materiality and detailing create an environment that feels refined yet deeply personal. Rather than following fleeting trends, the residence reflects the practice’s belief in architecture that possesses both presence and permanence. For him, luxury is not simply what the space contains, but what it evokes, a sense of calm, belonging and quiet grandeur that continues to resonate over time, and beyond.
Architect Madhur Gupta and Interior Designer Nitika Mahajan of Design Legends, a Punjab-based architecture and interiors firm, have spent over eighteen years creating spaces with a distinct identity. For the studio, luxury begins with functionality, is shaped by context, crafted with excellence, and remembered through experience. It is not defined by scale, ornamentation or expensive materials, but by how intuitively a space responds to its people, place and purpose. Their approach brings together natural light, climate, timeless proportions, exceptional craftsmanship and impeccable detailing to create spaces that feel refined, effortless and enduring. For Design Legends, luxury should emerge from the character of a place and the aspirations of its inhabitants, rather than follow a universal style. Every project is given its own identity, where thoughtful design transforms architecture and interiors into an enduring expression of luxury.
Designers Muhammad Abbas Nishar and Umar Kanak, founders of Abode Studio, Chennai, approach luxury as an experience of restraint, atmosphere and connection. For the studio, luxury is not what fills a space, but what it thoughtfully leaves out, allowing natural light, honest materials, craftsmanship and quiet moments to take precedence. Working across Chennai and Bangalore, the practice draws from South Indian landscapes, local craft and Tropical Modernism to createhomes that feel rooted yet refined. This philosophy comes alive across its residential work, where raw timber, hand-laid stone, woven textures and regionally resonant art come together with courtyards and layered thresholds. The studio creates depth through material, daylight and a connection to the landscape. For Abode Studio, luxury is found in homes that feel serene, intimate and enduring, where nature, craftsmanship and life come together with ease.
Designer Jyoti A. Nahata of Infinity Atelier, Kolkata, believes luxury lies in the quiet ease with which a space allows us to live. For her, it is about having enough room to breathe, thoughtful details that serve a purpose, and a design that feels inherently like the client’s own. This understanding takes shape in The Atrium-Glass House, where a contemporary glasshouse transforms the entrance garden into an elegant indoor-outdoor setting. Glass brings in natural light, while woodwork, tropical greenery and a vertical garden introduce warmth and texture. A water feature adds another layer of calm, allowing the space to feel sophisticated without becoming excessive. Completed within a month for an upcoming wedding, the project also reflects Nahata’s belief in purposeful design, where functionality, character and ease come together naturally. The result is a home that feels considered without ever feeling overdone.
Designers Shilpi Sonar, Satyadeep Sonar and Arpita Sonar of Creations X Urban Saints, Raipur, see luxury as something shaped by intention, craftsmanship and individuality. For the practice, it is found in the thought behind every detail, from proportion and material to the experience a space creates. This approach comes alive in Dharam Jewellers, Raipur, where a silver jewellery store is reimagined as an immersive retail destination. Inspired by the grandeur of an Indian jewellery palace, classical arches, mouldings and columns are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, while bespoke cabinetry and antique-finish furniture add a sense of ceremony. A palette of ivory, blush, aqua, silver and muted gold further enhances the setting. The result is a space where jewellery becomes part of a larger experience of craft, discovery and celebration. Every layer is designed to make the act of shopping feel elevated and memorable.
Luxe Edge reveals that luxury is not defined by visual language, but by the depth of thought behind it. It exists in the hands that shape a material, the choices that refine every detail. It lives within the stories that give a space its soul and meaning. From expressive richness to quiet restraint, each interpretation offers a distinct perspective on luxury. Luxury can be deeply personal, culturally rooted, technologically driven, or beautifully understated. What remains constant is the pursuit of something beyond the expected. Luxe Edge celebrates this pursuit, where design becomes more than an aesthetic statement. It becomes an experience, a reflection of identity, and a lasting expression of excellence.
