Hardesh Chawla, founder and CEO of Essentia Group, helped identify what truly makes the cut. Drawing from his experience in the industry and his observations of what does not work, he shared his practical insights into the mistakes that can make even a luxury home look ordinary.
So, how can a luxury home be defined? He said, “A luxury home is defined by how effortlessly it balances aesthetics, functionality, and sensory appeal. Even the most carefully designed spaces can feel ordinary when a few key details are overlooked.”
A luxury home is rooted in practicality and sensory experience. Even the most expensive decor can fall flat as it lacks the essential warmth and a wider, cohesive vision.
We can deduce that luxury is a sensory experience that hefty price tags alone cannot buy. This means you need to be intentional with every aspect of your interior curation. Solely adding an item because it is exorbitant won’t make your space look excellent.
