luxury is a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea), and luxurious is an adjective (a describing word).
If I was rich, I might say I was "living a life of luxury."
If I had a nice chair, I might call it "luxurious."

luxury also can be an adjective, isn't it ? so what is the difference between them?
thank you for explaining :)

luxury can be an adjective if you're saying something like, "a luxury yacht." or "a luxury brand."
both luxury and luxurious work there, but luxury as an adjective only works if the subject of the sentence has a reputation for being luxurious/calls themselves a luxury brand/the item was made to be luxurious.
It's kind of hard to explain, sorry, haha. hopefully that helps
