LUXURY BEYOND MEASURE From Possessions to Purpose

elcome to the 2025 edition of Luxury Guide. For 14 years, it has been my passion and privilege to curate the world of luxury for discerning individuals like you. There’s something undeniably captivating about luxury—it’s a celebration of the finer things in life, a reflection of elegance and a pursuit of beauty. But as much as I adore luxury, I’ve come to realize that its true essence goes far beyond what money can buy. Luxury, at its core, is about the richness of character, the depth of kindness and the generosity of spirit. It’s about the moments that touch our hearts, the connections we build and the ways in which we uplift others. As we indulge in the beauty that surrounds us, it’s essential to remember that the most profound luxuries in life are found in how we give back.

In this edition, you’ll find pages filled with inspiration—from the latest in lifestyle and design to must-see destinations and more. But I encourage you to pause and reflect on what luxury truly means. It’s not just about having more; it’s about being more. It’s about using our time, resources and talents to make a difference, to leave a lasting impact and to enrich the lives of those around us. To honor this belief, we’ve dedicated the last page of this guide to something close to my heart: “25 Ways to Give Back in 2025.” Whether it’s through your time, financial support or simply the kindness you share with others, giving back is a powerful way to lead a more fulfilled and meaningful life. It’s a reminder that true luxury lies in the ability to make a positive difference in the world. So, as you explore the pages of this guide, I hope you’ll find not only the inspiration to elevate your lifestyle but also the motivation to give back in a way that resonates with you. Because in the end, luxury is not just about what we acquire—it’s about who we become and the legacy we leave behind. Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to a year filled with beauty, purpose and the true luxury of giving back. Gratefully,

DESIGN & DECOR

From the Experts’ Point of View Insights on Building Your Dream Home

What are the most important factors to consider when starting a new home design? Carlos: Start by understanding the lifestyle and long-term needs of those who will live in the space. Collaboration between the design team early in the process ensures the layout, finishes and overall aesthetic work together seamlessly, creating a cohesive and functional design.

Essential Budgeting

Johnnie: Establish a clear vision, budget and timeline from the beginning. Early involvement of key professionals, like architects, interior designers and contractors, helps streamline decision-making and minimizes delays. This ensures materials and finishes are chosen thoughtfully, balancing creativity with practicality.

DESIGN & PLANNING Include fees for architects, designers and engineers, as well as permits and inspections to meet local regulations.

How do you ensure a balance between functionality and aesthetics? Carlos: This balance comes from thoughtful planning. Functional layouts and practical features are combined with finishes and design details that enhance the visual appeal of the space. Collaboration with the design team ensures that both aspects work together harmoniously.

✓ ✓

CONSTRUCTION Cover labor for builders, site preparation, foundation work, framing, roofing and essential systems like plumbing, electrical and HVAC.

✓

Johnnie: Choosing materials and finishes that are both durable and visually appealing is key. This ensures the home not only looks beautiful but also stands up to the demands of daily use, creating a space that is both practical and elegant.

MATERIALS & FINISHES Budget for flooring, wall finishes, countertops, cabinetry, millwork, doors and windows, which define the space’s overall style.

What role does sustainability play in modern home design?

FIXTURES & APPLIANCES Account for bathroom fixtures, kitchen appliances, lighting and hardware like faucets and handles.

Carlos: Sustainability is an important consideration in today’s designs. Using eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems and sustainable finishes allows for a home that reflects modern values and adds long-term value to the project. Johnnie: Sustainable practices, like sourcing responsibly, reducing waste and incorporating energy-efficient systems, play a significant role in homebuilding. Planning for these features early in the process ensures they are integrated seamlessly and effectively. How soon should smart home automation be integrated if we want to make our home “smart”? Carlos: Smart home automation should be planned during the initial design phase. Early integration allows for seamless incorporation of wiring, devices and control systems, ensuring they blend harmoniously with the overall design. Johnnie: Starting early is key to avoiding retrofitting and additional costs later. Incorporating smart features during the design and construction process ensures that the technology is both functional and aesthetically unobtrusive, aligning perfectly with the home’s design.

✓ ✓

SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY Plan for automation, security systems, audio/ visual components and wiring to ensure seamless integration.

✓

FURNITURE & DECOR Reserve funds for furniture, window treatments, rugs, artwork and decorative items to complete the space.

✓

LANDSCAPING & OUTDOOR FEATURES Include hardscaping, landscaping, irrigation, outdoor lighting and features like pools or fountains.

What key smart home features should be prioritized during the new homebuilding process? Bob: Focus on a strong networking infrastructure, as it’s the backbone of any smart home. Prioritize features like lighting automation, security systems and climate control early, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into the build. Opt for scalable systems to allow easy upgrades as technology evolves. © GOLUBOVY/SHUTTERSTOCK

COLOR CRAFT

The Art of Personalizing Your Space

By Rebecca Herring, Herringbone Design “Color is more than a design choice. It’s a way to set the tone for your life at home—whether it’s creating energy in a bustling kitchen, adding calm to a serene bedroom, or introducing personality to a living room. The right color can completely transform how you feel in a space.” THE POWER OF COLOR A fresh coat of paint can transform a space, redefining its character and mood entirely. Whether energizing a dull room with vibrant hues or creating a tranquil sanctuary with soothing tones, paint is more than an aesthetic choice; it shapes emotion and experience. While whites remain a perennial favorite— offering crisp, soft or creamy shades that provide a timeless foundation—the spectrum of colors available today allows for deeper personalization and expression. As an expert in color psychology and design trends, I’ve seen how the year’s trending hues—earthy browns, sophisticated slates and vibrant accents—can seamlessly elevate a home’s aesthetic. By carefully selecting and incorporating these shades into your space, you can craft an environment that is as personal as it is beautiful. UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF YOUR HOME Whether you’re revitalizing a single room or embarking on a complete home makeover, thoughtful color selection is essential to achieving a design that’s expressive and tailored to your lifestyle. By understanding the emotional and functional impact of colors, you can create a home that feels uniquely yours.
