Raw Elegance
Creating an elegant home doesn’t have to be stuffy or glossy, especially when you place luxurious materials alongside everyday objects and raw textures.  Raw elegance is about finding the balance between taking your breath away and giving yourself somewhere cozy to unwind.

Some winning combinations are concrete and velvet, marble and linen, homemade ceramics and sterling silver.  It can be a bit unnerving to mix and match styles that seem inherently opposing, but the rewards are huge because you will always feel pampered in luxury but comfortable and relaxed as well.

Here are a few of my favorite examples of Raw Elegance:
