A Guide to Incorporating Lines in Interior Design

In the realm of interior design, a curated blend of tranquility, functionality, and understated elegance is gaining momentum. This emerging trend, aptly coined ‘quiet luxury,’ possesses the remarkable ability to convey a sense of opulence without the need for ostentation. It speaks volumes through its subtle refinement, never raising its tone beyond a whisper. As this style garners attention across social media platforms, our designers are eager to share insights and tips on seamlessly incorporating this aesthetic into your living space.

The Color Palette of Calm

According to interior designer Brynna Evans, the one takeaway of a quiet luxury aesthetic is the color palette. “Earthy neutrals,” she says, “serene pastels, and muted tones serve as the backdrop for peaceful living.”

Paying Attention to Details

One quiet luxury tip comes from our staff designer Courtney Marquez, who emphasizes the details. “Pay attention to the hardware on your cabinets, the hand of the wallpaper, and the edge of your wooden table,” Marquez contributes. “Each detail contributes to the feeling of opulence and elegance in the quietest of ways.”

How do you exude quiet luxury?

Exude quiet luxury with knowing your style. Curating only the things that add function to a space, cleansing the room of details and handiwork that don’t add anything besides tchotchke-like decoration. Get inspired by fashion looks from country clubs, where colors are neutrals, materials are high-quality but simple.

PRIYANKA DAPODIKAR, FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR


Bamboo Ugam was founded in 2024 by Priyanka Dapodikar, whose deep connection to bamboo began in her family’s homestead in the valleys in Sahyadri ranges, where her family has passionately restored nature and managed a bamboo grove for over 18 years. Having grown up surrounded by this commitment to the land, Priyanka developed a natural inclination toward working with bamboo.

After pursuing her undergraduate and master’s degrees in architecture in London, Priyanka returned to India in 2021 during the pandemic. She used this time to deepen her knowledge of the local bamboo species and explore its potential. Bamboo Ugam was born out of her desire to raise awareness about the possibilities of these local species and to create opportunities for artisanship, which are still in the early stages of development in this field.

Driven by research and innovation, Bamboo Ugam aims to explore new ways to work with bamboo, focusing on understanding and utilising the specific properties of local bamboo species. Priyanka, along with like-minded experts, has embarked on this venture to bring bamboo into contemporary design and architecture.
