As a high-end furniture and interior design business with over 30 years of experience in the industry, FCI London understands the importance of creating beautiful living rooms. So if you’re looking for a brand that ticks all the boxes in terms of form, function and embracing a luxury lifestyle, Laskasas is well worth considering.
Founded in 2004 by entrepreneur Celso Lascasas, this 20-year-old respected business is internationally respected for its outstanding offerings in handmade furniture, metalwork and upholstery.
With roots planted deeply in Portuguese soil, its bespoke pieces are stylish and nostalgically reflective of the country’s vibrant culture. Time-honoured practices like embroidery, gold leaf and azulejos are part of their creative arsenal, giving them the edge for aesthetic diversity.
Drawing inspiration from several genres including Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern and fresh, contemporary vibes, Laskasas is an innovator in its field.
Its in-house production facility guarantees quality craftsmanship and attention to detail from conception to final product, ensuring that each handmade offering surpasses expectations. And, with industry professionals and regular customers singing their praises, its “we decorate life” slogan is undeniably justified.
From a strong focus on colour and texture to the incorporation of both nature and geometry, the chief designer, Pedro Neto, artfully brings purpose and timelessness into perfect balance. That, coupled with sustainably-sourced materials like noble wood and fine marble, makes creating a luxury living room with Laskasas exciting.

Chat NowIf you lack experience in the field, the concept of luxury interior design can seem pretty ambiguous. For some, its connotations lie in the aesthetics of a room, while for others it conjures up images of excess and flamboyance.
However, in the world of décor, it’s about creating a sense of effortlessness that defines an elevated and very personal way of life.
To achieve this, finding furnishings that have the flexibility to match your style and tastes is imperative. And, when it comes to our living rooms, creating a balance between casual relaxation and gracious entertaining is key.
Here are some of the characteristics that make it a roaring success:
Luxury interior design can take on any genre from traditional to contemporary. But the common denominator lies in the careful consideration of every element to ensure that it is both functional and blends in with its environment flawlessly.
Aside from being practical, furniture should fit into the natural course of daily life and be placed strategically leaving plenty of space for foot traffic. To achieve a sense of flow, leave enough room around each object without allowing it to feel disconnected.
Visual links in the form of colour, texture and style will unify each separate element, giving your space cohesivity.
Comfort is about far more than just feeling at ease. To achieve it, seek out high-end sofas built with ergonomics in mind and upholstered in materials that are pleasing and soft to the touch. Then add high-end accessories like hand-woven rugs, plush cushions and cosy throws to create additional warmth and intrinsic value.
The fundamental aim of comfort is to create a sense of relaxation while maintaining the utility of your space.
Both natural and artificial light plays a major role in the success of a living room and should set its mood and tone. Ensure you understand the difference between task, ambient and accent lighting and use it in practical ways to enhance your décor.
Find out more about it in our article on the 4 qualities of lighting design.
Eco-friendliness is a major pursuit in luxury design. Aside from selecting natural and sustainably sourced materials, you should consider the durability and longevity of each piece and practice recycling wherever possible.
Things like air quality and electricity consumption play a significant role in decreasing the carbon footprint of your home, and finding solutions while maintaining a sense of opulence is part of the challenge. Read our guide on sustainable interior design for some top tips.
Effective design schemes ensure that quality is found in every aspect of your décor. So whether you’re selecting luxury armchairs, bespoke lighting, a complementary colour scheme or an ample storage solution, make sure your choices are discerning.
A luxury living room requires much more than just interior design. It’s about creating personality. And that takes ingenuity, the courage of your convictions and a good eye.
To recognise the potential of your space and bring that to fruition involves a seamless integration of every element from major furniture pieces down to your door knobs.
