Create Your Perfect luxe Styled Home

Imagine walking into a home that feels like a boutique hotel—where every detail has been thoughtfully chosen, the atmosphere is warm yet refined, and luxury can be felt through every space. That’s the essence of Luxe styling. It’s not just about expensive materials or bold design statements—it’s about creating a space that feels indulgent, timeless, and beautifully curated. Whether you’re styling a family home or your dream forever home, Luxe interiors can bring that elevated sense of comfort and elegance to everyday living.

We’ll explore how Luxe styling differs from popular styles like contemporary and coastal, and why it’s the perfect match for McDonald Jones Homes’ award-winning, free-flowing floor plans. We’ll guide you through simple but high-impact ways to incorporate Luxe style using furniture, lighting, paint, wallpaper, and rich, layered textures like velvet and silk. Plus, we’ll show you exactly where to experience Luxe in person across our display homes—including standout designs at HomeWorld Thornton, HomeWorld Box Hill, Cobbitty, and Braemar.

Let’s step inside and discover how to create a home that feels just as luxurious as it looks.

Luxe vs Contemporary or Coastal

But what exactly makes Luxe different from contemporary or coastal interiors?

   •    Contemporary interiors tend to be minimalist, with clean lines, neutral tones, and a focus on function. It’s sleek and sophisticated, but often quite understated.
   •    Coastal design leans into light, breezy aesthetics. Think whitewashed timber, soft blues, linen textures, and an easy, beachy charm.
   •    Luxe styling, on the other hand, is all about rich materials, bold contrasts, classic finishes, and refined layering. Luxe homes feel indulgent, intentional, and effortlessly glamorous.

Now, pair that luxury aesthetic with McDonald Jones Homes’ free-flowing floor plans, and you’ve got the perfect canvas to create a showstopping space that blends functionality and style.

How to Create a Luxe Home

Our interior design professionals at the MyChoice Design Studio have given us their top 5 tips to creating your perfect Luxe Styled home:

1. Furniture
      •    Choose pieces with elegant silhouettes—think curved sofas, high-back armchairs, and statement coffee tables.
      •    Opt for plush fabrics like velvet, bouclé, or rich leather in neutral, jewel or monochrome tones.
      •    Look for accents in brushed gold, polished brass, or other precious metal finishes for a refined touch.
2. Lighting
      •    Incorporate feature pendant lighting, oversized chandeliers, or designer wall sconces to draw the eye.
      •    Layer your lighting with dimmable lamps and wall lights to create mood and depth.
3. Wall Panelling & Wallpaper
      •    Add wainscoting or full-height panelling in living areas, hallways, and bedrooms for instant elegance.
      •    Luxe wallpaper in silk-inspired textures, subtle patterns, or refined tones can make a statement in powder rooms or behind bedheads.
4. Paint Colours
      •    Stick to a rich, neutral base palette: deep greys, creamy whites, charcoal, soft taupe, or dramatic blacks.
      •    Add contrast with dark feature walls or architraves.
5. Flooring & Soft Furnishings
      •    Choose engineered timber or large-format tiles for a sleek base.
      •    Layer with textured rugs, silk-blend curtains, and oversized cushions in velvet or plush fabrics.
6. Decor
      •    Use decor elements in precious metals like gold or brass for subtle luxury.
      •    Style surfaces with intention—less is more when it comes to Luxe.
