Unlocking Quiet Luxury with Big Ass Fans

Often associated with minimalism, quiet luxury is a leading trend in Australian home builds and renovations, advocating for stylish simplicity and understated sophistication. Inspired by many Scandinavian and Japanese projects, quiet luxury can be replicated throughout various parts of a space, especially those often underlooked or overcrowded.

Compared to traditional luxury design, this interior trend takes more of a subtle and refined approach to opulence, focusing on quality and timeless pieces. Annie Street by Shaun Lockyer Architects utilises quality features, such as the Haiku ceiling fan by Big Ass Fans through the deliberate use of matte black throughout the space, balanced by its softer neutral pallet, off-form concrete and timber. Working closely with Matt Napper and Solido Builders, Shaun Lockyer Architects have seamlessly integrated indoor and outdoor materials throughout the extension project, juxtaposing the original lightweight cottage, whilst retaining its unique character and history.

The Haiku ceiling fan range by Big Ass Fans epitomises quiet luxury through its sleek and timeless design. Handcrafted and exclusively engineered for quality comfort, the Haiku is available in six premium and whisper-quiet designs. Perfect for any space, the Haiku can exceed the elegance and aura of the room, with sleek natural bamboo finishes and aircraft-grade aluminium designs. By investing in high-quality materials and appliances, you can maximise the comfort and functionality, without compromising on style and sophistication.

Quiet luxury can be interpreted and manipulated in many individual ways and degrees, unique to spaces and design aesthetic. Big Ass Fans’ top tips to introducing quiet luxury into future and existing spaces are:

  • Investing in quality over quantity
  • Work with neutral colour palettes and natural elements
  • Incorporate luxurious materials and textiles
  • Opt for comfort and functionality
  • Embrace minimalism with timeless design
