Get your Lookbox Living luxury themed issue!

Note from the editor, Janice Seow

The term ‘luxury’ has long been equated with an extravagant lifestyle, but things are changing. Today, luxury has broader meaning; in the context of modern domestic life, quality time with family and friends, comfort, simplicity and time-saving solutions are often viewed as luxuries. One could argue that many of the definitions today are centred on personal well-being, and don’t necessary have to be costly (which is a good thing!).
