Modern luxury thrives in understated form, peaceful colour palettes and spacious room layouts. Here, we’re looking at three inspirational home interiors, visualised by Shexia Space Design, which exude grace and refinement with crisp neutrals, luxe contemporary furniture design and all round fabulous taste. We’re also taking note of how these elegant interiors benefit from the inclusion of bright skylights, which transform the very essence of each place in entirely individual ways. These windows to the sky crack open an unusual modern fireplace nook, spotlight a courtyard filled with gorgeous glass art, create water refracted light play above a luxury dining room and brighten a home office perched on a glass mezzanine.
