Welcome To The Story Of Home
In honor of LUXE’s 20th anniversary, dive into an epic tale, one that unfolds in chapters with rich and ever-evolving narratives shaped by main characters and supporting stars.
To celebrate this milestone, we’ve culled our issues for spaces that capture the essence of home, presenting marquee rooms alongside visionary brands that are redefining modern living.
Our homes should hold us, inspire us and push the limits of our own creative expression. We invite you to kick up your feet and join us in this essential reading.
Chapter 1: Foyer
As the threshold leading from the outside world into the intimacy of home, the foyer is responsible for first impressions, offering residents and guests a gracious welcome. Aesthetically, it should set the tone for the interiors, establishing a design throughline and teasing what’s to come. And, as “a transitory space that often provides circulation to other primary rooms,” a thoughtful choreography of furnishings arranged for flow is crucial, explains Benjamin Johnston. For this Texas foyer, Johnston took a less is more approach defined by sculptural architecture, beautiful materials and precisely curated decor to yield maximum visual impact—as well as functionality.
In an elegant, airy Houston home designed by Benjamin Johnston, the stylish foyer spotlights a sleekly curved plaster staircase with white oak treads.
California Closets
Just as an elegant foyer is key to a home’s grand entrance, storage in said foyer is an equally important component to maintaining a clean, calm environment. Cue California Closets, the authority in highly personalized closet systems. Shown here is a custom floor-to-ceiling design inspired by designer Jeremiah Brent.
