Mark Wahlberg's 'quiet luxury' living room proves this classic furniture color is still on trend for 2024

A white sofa has been a beacon of timeless style for decades. The classic furniture piece is versatile, always on trend, and easy to decorate around. Mark Wahlberg's couch is yet another example of its power.

The actor took to Instagram to share a video petting his adorable dog, Champ, and we quickly noticed the minimalist color palette in his living room. The space has cream walls, a beige rug, and white dining chairs. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the den with light, and black window treatments match the light fixtures while providing some depth to the neutral living room. A white sofa anchors the entire look.

Wahlberg's style follows the 'quiet luxury' trend. This trend prioritizes high-quality materials in timeless shades. It can follow various style paths (Wahlberg's is in the modern farmhouse style), but it revolves around designs that won't go out of style. Though the term was popularized in 2023, a version of this look has been around since the dawn of interior design. 

In this space, the white sofa is the quiet luxury accent that ties it all together. Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes & Gardens, states: 'Mark Wahlberg's white sofa fits perfectly into the quiet luxury trend because it's a timeless color on a high-quality material. You could transpose this sofa into any space, and it would look just as sophisticated and chic. Furthermore, the different shades of white across the room create a textural, neutral look, which is a staple of the quiet luxury trend.'

'When it comes to pulling off a quiet luxury look, the devil is in the details,' says Carlin van Noppen, interior designer and founder of Fig Linens and Home. 'Wahlberg executes the look perfectly by combining the neutral color scheme with contrasting accents like the dark throw pillow and light fixture above the dining room table.'
