The summer house of influencer Laura Escanes on Menorca is a masterclass in how to do Mediterranean luxury without it shouting. The whole space revolves around one idea - relaxed luxury, light and visual order - and it's that calm that makes the home look more expensive than any single object in it.

The living room opens the story with two flawlessly white sofas and custom-made furniture in solid wood. The television is placed to look like a piece of art on the wall rather than a screen - a detail we see more and more often in homes that flee the tech-gadget look. Large mirrors widen the space and bounce the light back inside, a trick as old as design itself, but always effective.

The kitchen is the heart of the house and its boldest part. The colours are inspired by the sea - a turquoise-green palette, a ceramic wall matching the worktops, bronze details and a wooden table. The chairs have a wave-like texture, and the lamps are of organic fibre. This isn't a kitchen to photograph and forget; it has a character that lives with the space.

The main bedroom is conceived with the aesthetic of a five-star hotel - green tones, personalised bedside tables and a sense that someone thought of every detail. The spa feel continues into the main bathroom, integrated into the bedroom, with stone details on the basin and finishes that set the whole mood. The other three bedrooms and two bathrooms follow the same handwriting, though they're mentioned without detail.

The exterior is where Menorca takes the lead role. A pool that looks like something out of a dream, a sun deck for sunbathing and greenery that frames the space - all of it tied to the interior through the same palette and the same order. The line between inside and out is deliberately blurred, which is the very essence of Mediterranean living.

What holds the whole home together isn't any single luxury object, but consistency. Natural fibres, artisan pieces, sea tones and a strategic layout that keeps visual order in every room. For the Balkan reader, there's a simple lesson here too - luxury isn't bought by piling up expensive things, but by paying attention to how those things breathe together. And attention, unlike marble, costs nothing.
