Quiet Luxury Interiors: 8 Design Lessons from Goodrich
At the heart of meaningful interior design is the creation of a home with soul. When design is personalised, it’s timeless. Interiors are about your story, how you live, and what you love.
This philosophy aligns closely with the principles of quiet luxury and mindful design, both of which elevate homes into sanctuaries that nurture timelessness and well-being.
Mindful living gives rise to carefully curated interiors that include meaningful pieces to treasure, the use of sustainable, natural materials and fabrics, considered colour palettes, and the blend of new and old inject individuality and purpose.
On the other hand, intrinsic to quiet luxury is simplicity, understated elegance, and implementation of luxury interior products steeped in craftsmanship, in addition to a timeless aesthetic.
Whether you’re redecorating an entire room or adding a few thoughtful touches, a considered curation of beautiful, lasting materials can make contemporary living feel both elevated and soulful.
At Goodrich Global, we embrace both mindful living and quiet luxury interior design with emphasis on crafting timeless and enduring investment wallcoverings, fabrics, floorings, and carpets made from the finest sustainable materials.
In this article, we’ll guide you through eight key design lessons that capture the essence of quiet luxury and show you how to bring its timeless beauty into your home.
8 Decorating Ideas to Begin Your Journey to Quiet Luxury Interiors
1. Silent wall solutions – acoustic elegance
Acoustic panels are indispensable in modern interiors and quiet luxury interior design.
The wall panels are more than just functional sound absorbers; they add a unique and stylish touch to your decor. The versatility of the wall panels ensures that you can use them in many ways and includes integrating them to achieve a quiet luxury look.
These sound-absorbing panels can be implemented in media rooms, working spaces, and bedrooms.
Eco-friendly Acoustic Panels

Graphics, a mural, or feature artwork are printed on a vinyl surface backed with a felt fabric backing, creating a unique functional finish to your desired quiet luxury design.
2. Embrace the power of a calm neutral palette
Every design decision counts towards a lasting first impression. However, the classics should never be underestimated in the face of modern wallpaper and flooring trends.
Neutral colours are interior design’s hero palette as they provide the perfect backdrop to easily transform a room.
Muted walls accentuate the natural sunlight, ensuring the space looks spacious and welcoming while contrasting with any dark wooden accessories. Whether that’s introducing a quiet luxury style or color scheme, a neutral palette provides a blank canvas.
With the right neutral base, any colored accents can stand out and make the stylish first impression your home deserves.
3. Bring the outside in with nature-inspired wallpaper
Draw nature inside with beautiful organic materials that pay homage to the natural surroundings.
Blur the boundaries between inside and outside by incorporating elements like wood and stone textures, fostering a seamless transition between spaces.
This aesthetic that is in tune with quiet luxury interior design is marked by its utilisation of natural materials, minimalist lines, and basic shapes.
Nature-inspired luxury wallpaper design that features wood-like and stone-like textures flawlessly aligns with this style, contributing to the creation of a cosy and inviting ambiance.
4. Murals to showcase personality
The greatest rooms often have deep input from the people who live in them.
At the end of the day, when your eye travels across a space that reflects you, you truly feel at home. And in most homes, the living room embodies this idea best — a quiet luxury living room design that balances personality with understated elegance. After all, the essence of design lies in curating a space you love and look forward to coming home to.
Let your walls showcase your personality with clean, serene graphics inspired by nature that are infused with botanicals, floral patterns, birds, and animals in a natural landscape.
The digitally printed wall prints are breathtaking and offer realism. It promises longevity and will not tarnish easily in colour.
Digital Wallcovering for Photographic Realism
Digital wallpapers deliver stunning visuals effectively in commercial design and hospitality.
State-of-the-art printing technology enables highly realistic images, capturing every fine detail, from the trees in a forest to the silhouettes of an urban skyline.
The rich colors bring a vibrant energy to the atmosphere, transforming the space in a way that’s completely different from vinyl wallpapers.
Digital contract wallpapers are the perfect solution for interior designers who have a realistic image and want to portray it in a commercial or hospitality space as accurately as possible.
5. Eco-elegance – layering textures with mindful sustainability
Less is more with quiet luxury interiors, borrowing from traditional minimalist design principles such as Scandinavian or Japanese. Contrasting textures, bespoke fixtures and fittings, a focus on lifestyle, and again, a reliance on warm materials will help.
Goodrich’s curation of luxury wallpaper designs and eco-friendly wallpaper offers organic textures such as cork and bamboo to elevate nature-inspired interiors.
Quiet luxury wallpapers and botanical wallpapers in a muted colour palette, paired with textures such as leather, linen, aged metal, rustic wood, and raw stone, create a worldly and welcoming feel that whispers quiet luxury.
Furthermore, the wallcovering adhesive used is certified eco-friendly and odourless by the Singapore Green Building Council.
6. Fabrics keep spaces fresh with plush furnishings
Using luxury fabrics to customise curtains and upholstery means that your furniture is truly one of a kind — it’s a great way to express your personal style subtly but playfully.
Think bouclé, velvet, and linen. Pairing patterns and plain in a neutral shade adds a surprise dose of character for quiet luxury interiors, while not detracting from the elegance of the neutral shade — the perfect amount of push-and-pull that makes for an interesting scheme.
