Why Quiet Luxury Is Taking Over Interior Design in 2025 (And How Kiota Embodies It)
Posted on August 04 2025,
The 2025 design trend of quiet luxury is all about understated elegance, timeless craftsmanship, and authentic materials. This shift away from flashy consumerism towards thoughtful, sustainable luxury aligns perfectly with Kiota’s artisan-made homeware collections.
1. What Is Quiet Luxury?
Quiet luxury rejects overt logos and trends. Instead, it focuses on quality, craftsmanship, and durability. It’s about investing in fewer, better pieces that offer long-lasting beauty and function. In interiors, this translates to a calming, curated look with rich textures, soft neutrals, and meaningful objects.
