Across the board, the data from The Luxury Living Report shows that art, accessories and furniture are largely immune to financial pressures. In fact, 85% of designers note that luxury homeowners consider art and accessories a prioritized budget item in the living room. These numbers prove that art is not simply a finishing touch but a driving force that, in some cases, homes are built around. For instance, in the Dallas estate by Bodron Fruit pictured here, the entire design—from the scale of each room and its bespoke furnishings to gallery-inspired art placement and track lighting—was customized to accommodate a museum-quality collection. The deep level of personalization and the elevated approach to artwork further reflect our survey findings, which show that about half of designers note their high-end clients regard value for investment and custom furniture as very important throughout the whole home.
