With dual wine refrigerators, she is able to keep both white and red wine at the appropriate tempter so they’re ready for enjoyment at a moments notice! We were able to create a rustic yet sophisticated look by mixing hardwood, metal and a neutral cabinet color. The mirror behind the bar adds that touch of glam with its glass shelving supported by matte silver rods.

When most people think about interior design, they imagine furniture, finishes, and final styling. In reality, the most successful luxury interiors are shaped long before any of those decisions are made. For custom homes and high-end renovations, interior design should begin at the architectural planning stage , not after construction documents are complete. When interior designers are involved early, they help shape the very framework of how a home functions, feels, and lives for decades to come. This early collaboration is one of the most overlooked advantages in luxury home design, and one that discerning homeowners increasingly prioritize.

Luxury interior design in 2026 is no longer defined by excess, trend saturation, or price alone. Today’s most discerning homeowners are seeking something far more refined: intentional design, expert execution, and spaces that feel deeply personal while remaining timeless. As expectations rise, the definition of true luxury has evolved into a balance of craftsmanship, lifestyle alignment, and thoughtful restraint. Understanding what genuinely defines luxury interior design is essential for homeowners building or renovating custom homes, especially those investing at a high level. In 2026, luxury is not about what is added, but about what is curated, refined, and designed with purpose.
