Outdoor Connection Creates Spacious Luxury

Hello! This is Episode 349, and in it, I’m going to discuss a topic that is, I believe, often the promoted ‘thing’ out there through glossy mags and social media: ‘How to create a luxurious home’. 

And because it seems to be promoted so heavily, by inference, it seems that it’s supposed to be one of the goals when creating your ideal home.

However, I have found that the definition of ‘luxury’ can have MANY connotations. Not always positive either. 

And it can be so relative and subjective in how it’s interpreted, that this supposed pursuit of a luxurious home as the dream being sold to us can be really fraught. And so, I wanted to dive into this more.

I also thought that this would be an interesting way to discuss some learnings from a recent trip my family and I made to Japan. Over the Christmas / New Year break of 2024 / 2025, we spent a month there. It was my first time there, and so many things jumped out at me, but the first was this:

In a city such as Tokyo that is amongst the most densely populated in the world, luxury can’t come from space, or stuff. So how is it being created instead, when this constraint exists.

That led to A LOT of thinking, exploration and observation about this concept of luxury. How we define it, how we pursue it, and how we incorporate it into our ideal homes, wherever we’re located.

So, let’s jump into talking about luxury. What it is, what it represents to you, and how to create a luxurious home.
