9 Practical Ways to Style Your Home Like a 5‑Star Boutique Hotel
Not Loud, Just Luxurious
Think of the last time you walked into a beautifully designed space. It didn’t need a label to tell you it was luxurious, you felt it.
That feeling is what 2025’s most popular interior trend, quiet luxury, is all about. It trades loud, logo-heavy looks for calm color palettes, natural textures, and objects of purpose and grace. Trends have shown a steep climb in searches for “quiet luxury home décor”, and for good reason more people are leaning toward homes that soothe, not shout.
In this blog, we’ll show you nine practical ways to bring that calm luxury into your everyday life, featuring Lune & Ivory’s Sleek Clear Glass Vase, a timeless centerpiece that blends strength, simplicity, and style.
Let Your Palette Whisper
The essence of quiet luxury begins with color. Earthy neutrals like oat, warm gray, linen, and ecru bring visual peace and make your space feel airy and elevated. These tones create a blank canvas that allows form and texture to shine.
Quick Tip: Use a single neutral tone on your walls, floors, and larger pieces, and introduce small tonal shifts with your accessories like a linen throw, marble tray, or textured pillow.
Choose Timeless Materials Glass, Wood, Linen
The quiet luxury home is curated, not cluttered. That means prioritizing natural materials that age well and feel good to the touch. Wood brings grounded warmth. Linen offers breathable softness. And glass, especially in a sculptural form, reflects light while staying visually “light.”
Spotlight Product: Sleek Clear Glass Vase
This 10” tall vase is a Lune & Ivory favorite for a reason. With its crystal-clear clarity, weighted base, and polished mouth, it’s a modern classic that works year-round. Whether holding fresh tulips in spring or warm fairy lights during the holidays, this vase adapts to every season and space.
Create One Visual Anchor Per Room
Rather than filling your surfaces with lots of small items, choose one strong focal point and build around it.
Styling Idea: Place it on your dining table with a few eucalyptus stems, or fill it with peonies on your bedside for a calm, luxurious feel. You can even let it stand empty the vase alone is a sculptural object that enhances a shelf or entryway console.
Layer Lighting (and Let Glass Do Its Magic)
Quiet luxury is all about atmosphere, and lighting sets the tone. Instead of relying on just one overhead light, layer your lighting:
Bonus Move: Fill your Sleek Glass Vase with warm LED string lights to create a magical centerpiece. The thick glass will diffuse the light beautifully, adding depth and soft glow with no hard lines or cold brightness.

Showcase Negative Space
One of the secrets to making your space feel high-end? Don’t overfill it. Luxury spaces breathe.
Design Rule of Thumb: On a tabletop or console, display in odd-numbered groupings such as the glass vase, a candle, and a low tray and leave room around them. This intentional use of space keeps your home looking styled rather than crowded.
Try This: Use your vase as the tallest item in a trio, with a neutral candle and a bamboo accessory for grounded warmth.
Use Texture, Not Just Color, for Dimension
In a quiet luxury space, contrast comes from touch, not just tone. Think soft linen curtains against sleek glass. Or polished ceramic bowls near woven trays.
Example Vignette: Place the Sleek Clear Glass Vase on a textured linen runner on your dining table. The contrast between clear glass and soft textile highlights each material. Add in a matte ceramic candleholder beside it for a three-way material story: glass + linen + ceramic.
