“Quiet luxury is not set to be a passing fad, in fact, the style of quiet luxury has mass appeal in a way which can actually add value to your home. Here are just some ways in which the aesthetic could increase the value of your home:
It shows you care about quality

A minimalist decor lets buyers imagine themselves living in your home
As the nature of quiet luxury in interior design is supposed to be pared back and low-key this provides the ideal setting for selling your home.

They won’t need to redecorate
The style of understated luxury is an aesthetic which is timeless as other trends come and go. The habits of investing in quality pieces, making use of understated yet elegant styling of your rooms and keeping clutter to a minimum are staple habits which outlast changing interests. New owners can have peace of mind this decor is ready to move into and won’t need to be changed.
It can attract buyers who appreciate luxury decor
By design this trend is set to appeal to those who understand the value in investing in luxury items of high quality, this in itself allows your home to be perfectly staged to attract buyers with this mindset.
It gives you some bargaining room to negotiate
