esign + Decor: Please tell us about the clients, their lifestyle and their aspirations for the project.

Jenna: These clients are from the Midwest, and this penthouse is their second home in Naples. The community is perfect for them.

The neighbors are all friends, which is aligned with their love of entertaining, so their house is always full. They also have a growing family and many grandchildren, so creating a space that was family friendly and functional, yet elegant and aesthetically pleasing was important to them.

id they have aesthetic goals?

They were quite drawn to a transitional design but with modern and elegant details.

The location is also stunning, so bringing a coastal color palette really brought the outdoors in. We used European white oak wood flooring to truly anchor the space and support the rest of the palette, which is curated with layers of whites, warm woods, and shades of blue.

ow much of the space did they want to renovate?

We did a full gut renovation. While the floor plan was quite like the original layout, we were able to add height through new ceiling designs and cabinetry. The kitchen, perhaps, had the biggest impact. The original ceiling was only 8 feet, but we brought it up to 10 feet, really elevating and opening the space, especially when they have larger gatherings.

hat other details stand out?

The dining room is truly the center of the entertainment experience. The dining table itself is quite versatile and easily transitions from a ladies’ night of wine, charcuterie, and conversation to a guys’ night poker game with little effort.

We integrated a stained rift white oak wine bar here, which complements the beam detail in the center of the kitchen. It is the same wood type and tone. Similarly, the living room is a natural gathering place in the home. By adding a large sectional we were able to maximize seating in a comfortable way.

hat is your favorite part of the design?

One of my favorite rooms here is the master suite—the layers of blue and white truly sing with the perfect amount of contrast between them. It exudes charming elegance with the balance of not just the colors but the textures and materials that were used.
