10 Quiet Luxury Buys for the Home on a Budget
From fashion to furniture, the quiet luxury trend seems to be everywhere right now. It has become a social media darling and an HGTV staple. You’ll know it when you see it: a room that’s influenced by quiet luxury is filled with high-quality items, neutral colors, and subtle yet eye-catching details that feel opulent without looking too over-the-top.
So that means that getting in on the quiet luxury home decor trend comes at a steep price point, right? It doesn’t have to! In fact, quiet luxury can be had in your living room, bedroom, or bathroom without sacrificing your savings account.
From a ceramic pendant light to handmade wooden stools that double as high-end coffee tables, here are 10 highly affordable and wholly chic quiet luxury products.
1. Linen bedding
Your bedroom will exude subtle luxury with this deluxe linen bundle that comes with a duvet cover, two shams, a flat sheet, and pillowcases. The best part? It’s all under $300.
“Quince’s deluxe bedding bundle with breathable linen and down is a steal,” says Theresa Ory, principal of Theresa Ory Interiors in Atlanta, GA, and a member of the Baldwin Hardware Design Authority.
Offered in a wide range of shades, including ivory, soft blush, and sand, these linens are also made free from any harmful chemicals or toxins.
2. Dinnerware
It’s important to leave no stone unturned when it comes to quiet luxury. These sleek plates are made from hand-painted porcelain and feature a side lip that prevents food from slipping or sliding off. They’re also $40 for a set of four and dishwasher-safe. Fashionable, affordable, and easy to clean? Say no more!
3. Ceramic candle holders
Dana Feagles, founder and principal interior designer of Revelry Interior Design in Santa Rosa, CA, says Etsy is one of the first places she goes to for quiet luxury products. This popular site connects customers with independent makers, some who are happy to customize pieces for you.
“One of my favorites items includes these darling $20 ceramic candle holders, which I have in my own home,” she says.
4. Cotton towels
Yes, you can bring the quiet luxury trend into your bathroom, too.
For high-quality, yet affordable, bath towels and washcloths, Italic is a strong option. The popular brand crafts luxury-made essentials that don’t come with sky-high price tags other designer versions have.
Made from plush 100% Australian cotton, these towels look and feel just like the ones found at many resorts or spas.
5. Ceramic vase
Swap out your generic, run-of-the-mill clear glass vase for this chic ceramic one that features an eye-catching middle cut-out.
Offered in a range of different sizes, this inexpensive vessel pairs wonderfully with pale poppies, beige roses, and dried lavender. Use it as a dining room table centerpiece or place it on nightstands to add some detail and texture to your bedroom.
6. Wooden stool
Quiet luxury can also be incorporated into the home through furniture. But if you’re not in the spot to spend $10,000 on a Cloud Sofa (a.k.a. the world’s most comfortable couch), start with something small. Feagles recommends these solid wood stools from Etsy to get the job done.
Available in a range of customizable sizes, this beautiful stool can be used as a side table, coffee table, or even an ottoman. “These have such a terrific price for a stylish, handmade, solid wood piece of furniture,” she says.
7. Throw pillow
This textured throw pillow checks every box for quiet luxury. Neutral color palette? Check. Handmade appearance and natural materials? Check. We’ve seen pillows that look like this cost upwards of $100, but Zara Home offers this pillow cover for $49.90. Grab a down feather insert and you have an upscale accessory that’ll dress up your sofa or bed.
8. Porcelain pendant light
Besides Etsy, Feagles also looks to Wescover for elegant items that can easily elevate a space.
One of her most-loved pieces from the site is this porcelain pendant light that’s crafted from white translucent porcelain. It gives off a warm amber tone when you turn on the light and comes with a braided cord and matching clay ceiling plate.
“It’s hand-crafted, high-quality, and understated,” Feagles says. “Perfect for achieving quiet luxury.”
9. Throw blanket
Simple, high-end throws can quickly transform couches and beds into luxurious places to relax. If you want one that looks a lot more expensive than it actually is, give Parachute a whirl.
The beloved brand’s cozy blankets make for timeless pieces because of their high quality and reasonable prices. The flax color is great because it goes with everything, but, TBH, any shade of theirs will fit the quiet luxury trope.
10. Jute mat
This jute and cotton blend rug by HAY with a soothing gray-blue pattern can add a soft pop of color to any room.
Place it near doorways for a chic entranceway or layer it over larger carpeting for a rich textured look. If you want something even larger, be sure to check out the brand’s area rugs that are just as nice.
