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 8: Outdoors

We’d be remiss not to mention the home’s ultimate wellness amenity: outdoor living areas. “The most transportive spaces begin with nature: dappled light, shade from trees and materials that age beautifully,” reflects designer Errol Dejager, pointing to this California oasis. With exterior materials, furnishings and lighting options more sophisticated than ever, landscape design is responding with alfresco spaces as livable and considered as any interior room. When nature meets the comforts of home, continues Dejager, outdoor spaces can “ground us, heighten our senses and create moments of presence.”

At this Mediterranean-inspired Bel Air dwelling designed by Errol Dejager, a geometric water feature by Water Studio and four olive trees placed in a grid enhance the courtyard’s symmetry.

Hinkley

Thoughtfully placed lighting takes an outdoor oasis to a whole new level, and no one understands this more than Hinkley, who has become the ultimate resource for beautiful, well-crafted fixtures. The family-run business, nearing its 100th anniversary, offers a wide range of outdoor options—like the Georgetown Lantern and Forge Barn Light, shown here.
