Loud Luxury, Defined
“Loud luxury” is rich color with restraint—a confident palette that feels intentional, not chaotic.
The 60/30/10 Rule for Tablescapes
- 60% base: linen + plates (neutral or one soft tone)
- 30% support: florals or secondary table element
- 10% accent: a pop (napkin, menu card, candle color, ribbon)
This creates drama that still feels composed.

How to Make Bold Color Look Expensive
- Use fewer colors, higher contrast
- Choose one hero color (not three heroes)
- Repeat the hero color 2–3 times in small ways (napkin + candle + place card detail)
- Keep typography clean and modern
Where Color Should Live
Premium placement options:
- Napkins (high-impact, controlled)
- Taper candles (cinematic glow)
- Florals (one variety, saturated, sculptural)
- Ribbons/bows (small but memorable)
Avoid making every surface colorful—leave negative space.
