CALM & COLLECTED

FOR DESIGNER BETH WEBB, SERENITY IN THE BEDROOM—AND BEYOND—COMES DOWN TO CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF WHITE.

WRITTEN BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

Pale, nature-inspired tones converge in a luxurious bedroom in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Drapes of Rose Cumming fabric and an Eve and Staron rug wrap the space in softness.

The gracious four-poster bed is Holly Hunt.

Beloved for her neutral, tonal, collected interiors, Atlanta-based designer Beth Webb is a master craftswoman of peaceful environs, whether seaside, mountain top or in the heart of a city. And in no space is fostering a tranquil visual language more important than the bedroom—a cocooning place of retreat that’s squarely top of mind during this season of hibernation.

Webb’s distinct brand of quiet luxury is on proud display in her muchanticipated monograph, Embracing Beauty: Serene Spaces for Living (Rizzoli, February 2025), which promenades 14 magnificent homes from Florida to the Grand Tetons. Within its glossy pages, the designer subtly divulges the elements that, for her, compose a restful bedroom: soft palettes, gracious canopy beds trimmed with diaphanous drapery, richly textured

wall treatments, crisp Italian linens and a perch with patina to take in the views out the window.

Below, in an unpublished passage adapted exclusively for the pages of LUXE, the designer expounds on capturing the feeling of white (rather than the hue itself), and on the fundamentals that together make a home a sanctuary. Take a page from her design philosophy playbook in reimagining your own boudoir for a long winter’s nap.

The snowfall outside the window in Paris makes the city white in its body, white in its quiet. I wake early and sit in the lamplight, watching. This white. This quiet. How do we inhabit it? How do we maintain, in Stieglitz’s words, this “great white stillness?”

This is what I’m seeking: to enable us to live inside this sheltering. Sanctuary,

A creamy white bedroom in Atlanta synthesizes designer Beth Webb’s (portrait above) quiet yet layered approach. The Tara Shaw Maison bed sports a skirt of Loro Piana fabric and custom Julia B. Casa linens.

refuge—there are many names. “Embrace” speaks to this intimacy—to being sheltered and protected. When you are held by light, by space, by music, by a beloved, there can be a luminosity to embrace. There is an aura of refuge.

I studied fine art at university and, early in my career, visited the Florence Academy of Art, where they still taught in the tradition of 19th-century École des

Beaux-Arts academicians. They drew from life, down to the bones. They studied: line, material, proportion, placement, negative space, composition. My intention to this day is to apply that visual language of art to interiors. A room is an immersive composition. A key tool is light. In each of our projects, we start sculpting space with light. Our palette is quiet but always subtly tailored to the qualities of light in that landscape. East and west, mountain and coast, there is an intimacy of the interaction between light and color that we are very attentive to. At its best, it enables dissolution into quiet and contentment.

Within these serene interiors, detail enables discovery over time—all is not immediately revealed. When you study painting, you learn the value of negative space, of absence, of what is withheld. Like the work of the symbolist poets, it’s about allusion, not explication. “The ‘blanks’ indeed take on importance,” writes Mallarmé. It’s only upon closer

attention that one discovers the subtle shadings, the refinements, the textures. From the way the local light interacts with a palette—and how the subtlest difference in shade can transform the feeling of a space—to the touch of a textile so soft that it elicits an immediate sense of calm, a deeply attentive choreography of these elements enables the whole to be much more than the sum of its parts. It creates atmosphere. It creates sanctuary. And sanctuary is a form of embrace. When you imbue a home with warmth, welcome, charm and ease, it holds you in return—a room becomes a refuge, a house, a haven. As a designer, it is my life’s work to achieve this with each and every room. I want it to be well-designed, I want it to be beautiful but, more than anything, I want it to provide peace. bethwebb.com, rizzoliusa.com

Ethereal drapes on a canopy bed are a signature stroke of Webb’s, as seen in her forthcoming monograph (cover left). In this Brays Island, South Carolina, bedroom, panels of scrim linen from Ulster Linen offer a touch of rustic elegance.

THE FOUNDER OF THE LUXURY BED COLLECTION SHARES TIPS FOR GETTING A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP.

Known as the Sleep Whisperer, Mary Pat Wallace understands just how important selecting the right mattress is when it comes to getting proper shut-eye. It’s the one item in your home that is used more than anything else and can have the biggest impact on wellbeing. Below, Wallace shares what to keep in mind when investing in a mattress. theluxurybedcollection.com

Materials Matter

It’s essential that the mattress companies I work with use natural materials. Spending eight hours a night with your face in something that’s full of harmful chemicals is not ideal. Both Hästens and Vispring are focused on using wood bases that aren’t treated with toxins along with flax, cotton, wool and steel springs. And what these materials do, depending on quantity and how they’re layered with the different spring designs, is deliver a completely elevated feel and sleeping experience.

Personalization Is Key

Different body densities require different mattress makeups. The brands at The Luxury Bed Collection offer split tensions, which can make all the difference when sleeping in the same bed with someone. For example, a smaller person needs less support and more pressure relief. I personally think that most people are sleeping on mattresses that are way too firm—go with what feels better to you!

Do Your Homework

I admit that I cringe when I hear about online purchases—you really should go in person to test a mattress. We have locations in Chicago, Dallas and Naples, Florida, and I urge people to come in, book some time, turn your cellphone off and get educated. Tell us how you’re sleeping, what your needs are, and let us help guide you through this process so you can find a mattress that, no joke, that will change your life and keep you healthy.

“This room was designed as a sanctuary for the homeowner,” says Cody Brown, co-owner of Bridges Brown Interiors. With partner Jeremy Bridges, he incorporates a lifestyle-oriented approach to the firm’s timeless and eclectic designs. To create a peaceful meditation room in an expansive Dallas home, Brown focused on all-natural materials that allude to the outdoors: A cork wallcovering pressed with specks of gold leaf creates a meditative backdrop; a set of hand-crocheted silk lights present a range of stony hues; and green acts as an accent throughout, as seen in a molded

Tactility also played a huge factor so that the client could sit as comfortably crosslegged atop the plush rug as on the linenupholstered chaise. “Every home should have a space like this,” Brown muses, “somewhere you can go and be quiet and align your mind and body so that you’re healthier.” bridgesbrowninteriors.com

BRIGHT FUTURE

A look into the made-in-America lighting companies that are illuminating the way forward.

WRITTEN BY KATHRYN GIVEN AND SARAH SHELTON

Family Affair

BOYD LIGHTING

Shepherding Boyd

Lighting into the future is creative director Schuyler Sweet, a fourth-generation Boyd family member. The company was founded in San Francisco in 1921 and has more than a century of legacy under its belt, including creating the fixtures for the city’s famous Opera House in the ’30s. Since then, it has navigated changing design movements—Beaux Arts, Art Deco, midcentury modern—and countless innovations. That’s where Sweet comes in, with one eye on the past and one on the

future, with a goal to distill and finesse the Boyd DNA. “Every generation has their own philosophy,” he says. “My ethos is to bring Boyd back to its classic modern roots and add a levity to the brand.”

Boyd is now headquartered in Colorado, where everything is handmade to order. At the intersection of its aesthetic are materials like brass, bronze and copper— nonferrous, nonrusting materials that will stand the test of time—in silhouettes and shapes devoid of extraneous details. “Part of the challenge is making a really simple design,” says Sweet. “There’s elegance in simplicity.” The Ovalo pendant above embodies these principles: unadorned, hand-finished brass loops are suspended from the ceiling and illuminated by an LED light source. As for what’s to come this year, Schuyler hints at a move towards

femininity and softness, with glass having a noticeable presence. “Design is allowed to change with the times and reflect what is going on in the world—it’s a dialogue, a visual language.” boydlighting.com

Boyd Lighting’s elegant Ovalo pendant hangs dramatically over a staircase. Schuyler Sweet (below), the company’s creative director, who joined the company in 2011, oversees the brand’s identity from its Colorado headquarters.

Forging Ahead

HUBBARDTON FORGE

“When I first started at Hubbardton Forge 13 years ago, I didn’t have a job title,” says Andy Morter. “I was given a long leash to explore and tinker with materials and LEDs, which were changing the lighting landscape at the time.” Fast-forward to present day, and Morter, now design developer under the direction of VP of Design David Kitts, continues to experiment and take creative liberties, resulting in provocative creations like the Snaps collection, shown here and launching early this year.

The system’s leather straps, connecting LED modules that sit within alabaster discs, are fully customizable, giving interior designers the freedom to play with the configuration and positioning to create unique and bold installations. The fluid design is not necessarily inspired by a place or thing or era, but rather by the raw materials at hand. “It’s about the exploration of parts and pieces and bringing these materials and new technologies together,” says Morter.

The Vermont company’s goal is to build upon its storied foundation for everything created, from the newest leather Snaps collection to its iconic metal offerings. What began as a forgery 50 years ago has evolved into so much more, but staying ahead while remaining true to their roots is a formula they have mastered thus far. hubbardtonforge.com

Quality Control

RTO LIGHTING

“I’m definitely the orchestra leader in our opera of sorts,” Robert True Ogden says of RTO Lighting, the company he founded 20 years ago and which has since grown to some 60 people. Departments dedicated to woodworking, ceramics and metalworking are filled with talented makers working alongside employees in logistics and prototyping to create pieces that sing.

At the beginning of Ogden’s career, crafting lights was a creative side gig that didn’t have the limitations of his day job, but he soon realized pursuing it full-time was far more fulfilling. Today, RTO Lighting is a craft-first company whose products are all handmade in its Philadelphia workshop, something Ogden feels immensely proud of as he oversees the artisans who put together each item.

“My hope is that, in having outstanding quality, these designs will be collected and passed down through generations,” he says.

Most recently, Ogden has come together with designer and owner of Fair showroom Brad Ford to launch their first lighting collaboration, the Alina Collection, comprising table, floor and pendant lights with beautiful hair-on-hide shades. Ogden was inspired after reading an article about leather tanning and some of the toxicities caused by the process, instead wanting to embrace the natural product as is. The makers love how the product turned out—cowlicks and all—with the RTO Lighting founder noting, “There’s a simplicity to the designs that celebrates form, function and materiality”. rtolighting.com; fair-design.com

Sheer Genius

For nearly 70 years, Jack Lenor Larsen’s eponymous line of textiles has been a go-to source for organic-meets-contemporary fabrics, utilizing techniques both old and new to create one-of-a-kind designs. Of Larsen’s many offerings—decorative weaves, nubby wovens, velvets and wools— it’s the brand’s attention to the humble sheer and its duty to diffuse the light from

a sun-drenched window that designers have long admired. Take the Koto textured sheer (from their latest collection inspired by African crafts) hung here. The gauzy open weave texture is a blend of wool and linen with a hint of metallic yarn that subtly shimmers in the sunlight—a glimmering surprise even on winter’s longer and darker days, letting the outdoors in. cowtan.com

Standouts from Larsen’s newest collection include Koto, a dreamy sheer woven with metallic thread, and Kifi, a diamond-shaped jacquard weave.

DOUBT

All Natural

Ali Davin has spent decades in the industry developing her unique approach to luxurious, sustainable design, which in many cases begins with using environmentally safe, nontoxic materials alongside lots of natural light. See, for instance, the Healdsburg, California, dining area at left, which features reclaimed wooden beams, linen drapery and metal furniture as well as limestone ooring. Door ventilation on three sides of the room activates a lovely cross breeze, and the space was designed with sunrise and sunset positioning in mind to create energy efficiencies. Curious where to start when creating your own healthy space?

Entitled Mood, the striking assemblage of takes inspiration from the plant, proli c in Asia and a symbol of integrity, resilience, simplicity and harmony. result is a collection of poetic, calming designs, including, at right, the Floor Lamp, which reimagines the traditional paper lanterns of the in a sleek porcelain form; the Bamboo Mood Screen, with four openwork wooden panels; and the Armchair soft celadon, a hue that references earliest pieces of Chinese porcelain. roche-bobois.com

Luxe Linens

Inspired by the pursuit of well-being, Italian bedding and bath linen company Frette has introduced its winter designs. An ode to wellness rituals, the collection invites you to relax at home and cozy up in extremely luxurious bedding, blankets and pillows. CEO Filippo Arnaboldi explains that this season is all about “transforming spaces into authentic sanctuaries of refinement,” and the new pieces, which emphasize natural materials like silk, cashmere and cotton, are indeed ideal for immersing yourself within your own bedroom oasis. Seen below are the Palace Throw and Decorative Cushion, Nest and Luxury Cashmere Velvet Decorative Cushions, and Knop and Pure Cashmere Throws. frette.com

Light The Way

Lutron’s smallest downlight to date, the new Ketra D2 comes in an array of minimal trims finely honed for a flush-to-the-ceiling aesthetic sought out by top designers. “The sleek, 2-inch aperture is a testament to modern design, allowing me to integrate lighting seamlessly into my interiors without overpowering them,” says Young Huh, founder of Young Huh Interior Design, who frequently uses Lutron pieces. The fixtures also leverage Ketra’s full-color, fourchannel optics to create the widest light spectrum available and adapt to various moments throughout the day. “Their discreet presence means I can focus on overall aesthetics, using light to showcase key features—like beautiful artwork or textured fabrics— without detracting from the design narrative,” Huh shares. lutron.com

Expert Opinion

When it comes to color and its effect on wellbeing, textile designer Lori Weitzner, a true expert on the subject, sums it up in two words: It’s personal. What feels calming or exhilarating to one individual might have the opposite eff ect for another. In her book Ode to Color , Weitzner has developed a test (which is also available online) that readers can take to learn which hues are best suited for them. The results are one of 10 unique “color worlds” composed of nuanced palettes for nuanced needs. Of the over 100,000 completed tests, the leading outcome is Fragrant Woods—the shades of an ancient forest like mossy greens and dark woods that, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, feel “grounding, rooting and nurturing,” explains Weitzner. Look out for these richer tones in the year ahead. loriweitzner.com

Open Vista

Marvin windows are rede ning the concept of a “room with a view.” In response to requests from architects, the company’s new, state-of-the art Modern Corner Window brings penthouse vibes and unobstructed views to any room of the house. As the name indicates, the window has two panes that meet at a right angle, seamlessly framing the exterior surroundings into a postcard-worthy panorama. The Corner Window maximizes two important elements: sight lines and natural light. It’s both an impactful design choice, creating a dramatic focal point, and a pragmatic solution for letting more light into a room. marvin.com

The leading results of Lori Weitzner’s color test are hues found in nature, like rich greens and warm woods. Clockwise from top right are new paint colors Paris Rain, Leather Saddle Brown, Rosepine, and Cinnamon Slate by Benjamin Moore.

SOFT GREENS ARE A VERSATILE ANCHOR FOR ANY ROOM— JUST ASK DESIGNER MICHELLE MORGAN HARRISON.

WRITTEN BY GRACE BEULEY HUNT

“I’m known for creating ‘breathe out’ houses, and for me, greens are an amazingly calming tool,” says Connecticut-based designer Michelle Morgan Harrison. With this philosophy in mind, Morgan Harrison looked to floor coverings in gentle variations of the hue to anchor her clients’ Greenwich

residence. Take the dining room above, whose mélange is pulled together by a Moroccan rug with hints of sage peeking through creamy shag plumes. “Pairing a vibrant base with neutral shag is a great way to soften colors,” the designer says. The adjacent breakfast area’s sleek lines are

warmed by a dhurrie-style wool flatweave in a shade Morgan Harrison dubs deep celery. “Rugs are the key to any room and a great way to add understated color,” she notes. “Here, we pulled subtle shades from nature to create something layered, relaxing and fabulous.” morganharrisonhome.com

LIVING

KITCHEN + BATH

Design is in the details, as evidenced by a thoughtful Pacific Northwest abode that celebrates natural light and timeless materials.

In the Pacific Northwest, Lisa Staton designed a kitchen for clients who wanted to infuse classic style throughout their home. Custom cabinets are painted Farrow & Ball’s Shaded White. The Wood Stone pizza oven is surrounded by Mutual Materials brick tile, and Woodbridge Furniture counter stools pull up to the island.

Time Traveler

DESIGNER LISA STATON USES CLASSIC STYLE TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK IN A WASHINGTON KITCHEN, BATH AND LAUNDRY.

WRITTEN BY MARY JO BOWLING

When remodeling this Washington home, designer Lisa Staton worked hard to ensure it didn’t read as “new,” channeling the old-world European charm her clients fell in love with during their travels. That aesthetic became the cornerstone for an update that created timeless rooms for work, play and relaxation. We asked Staton how she shaped some of the most significant spaces in the abode. lisastaton.com

How did you approach the kitchen? This part of the house is important because she is a cookbook author and wanted a beautiful place to work and photograph her culinary creations, and he enjoys roasting and brewing coffee. Residential designer Adair Orr of Armadillo Design Lab and I relocated the kitchen to the other side of the house to take advantage of the views. It is a workhorse room—cooking implements hang over the range within arm’s reach—but is also styled as an extension of the living spaces. Most of the appliances are hidden in the pantry, which keeps things airy and allows room to display items like serveware, plants and candlesticks. Perimeter cabinets are a soft white, the island is a natural wood tone, and both have traditional trim and marble counters.

photos: michael clifford.

Northwest Woodslayer fabricated the cabinets; the brass hardware and curved faucets are by Devol. A Thermador range is backed by custom vintage-looking tile the clients found in Portugal. Staton discovered the pair of antique pendants at Obsolete in Los Angeles.

Tell us about the coffee bar between the kitchen and dining room. My java-loving client wanted to make coffee while enjoying the sunshine in the kitchen, but we couldn’t find the right spot. Instead, we established a coffee bar in the passage between the two rooms and then surrounded it with interior windows that allow for plenty of light. The location is perfect for entertaining, as it permits him to easily serve guests a cup no matter where they are sitting. This dining room color is dreamy! We wanted it to be differentiated from the lighter colors in the kitchen. When you enter the dining room, there is this sense of reaching a retreat or destination as you are surrounded by inky color painted on paneled walls. How did you decide on the mix of pieces here? The clients owned this table but requested fully upholstered chairs to surround it, so we gave them comfortable seats covered in an old-school plaid textile. Scalloped bone-china shades on the pendants are new and add a fresh note. The wall sconces and the rug are vintage—older pieces add emotion to a room. Although we occasionally use online sources, I insist on visiting local and East Coast brick-and-mortar shops for antique and vintage pieces. It’s a practice that provides the kind of organic discovery an algorithm just can’t feed you.

Staton designed the coffee bar’s cabinetry (left), which is topped with Carrara marble and lit by glass Mullan light fixtures. In the dining room (below), cloaked in Farrow & Ball’s Hague Blue, a Christie Rise & Fall pendant by Original BTC hangs above Jessica Charles chairs and a table the clients acquired from 1stdibs.

“I think it’s important that this utilitarian room be practical but also in keeping with the rest of the house.”

–LISA STATON

What was the goal with this laundry room? Since the owners will be in this room a lot, why not make it as enjoyable as it is functional? We kept the original cabinetry but painted it a soft blush color. Adding butcher-block countertops was key, because the material is durable and attractive. I think it’s important that this utilitarian room be practical but also in keeping with the rest of the house. You could say the same for the vintage-inspired laundry rack and step stool. All these elements help the very modern washer and dryer live comfortably in a more traditional environment. The deep-green wall tile reflects the gorgeous Pacific Northwest colors you see outside the window and gives the space a relaxing feeling.

Floor-to-ceiling zellige tile from clé covers a wall in the primary bath, and an Artistic Tile marble tile graces the floor. Lit by Devol pendants, a Cheviot

What were the considerations for the primary bathroom? One of the notable features in this room is the killer view. In order to not block the scenery more than necessary, we installed sweet café curtains that provide privacy but allow a look at the water, trees and distant mountains. The homeowner loves a soak, so a stand-alone tub was a necessity, and a pair of marble shelves provides a space for toiletries and candles. Their brackets, like the tub ller and taps, are unlacquered brass that will patina over time. Is the oor brick? This room seemed to call for a unique oor, something with an aged appearance. Brick was brie y

considered, but we opted for a tumbled marble eld tile the client discovered. It has a rosy hue, and it was masonry-like without being porous. When laid in a herringbone pattern, it certainly resembles brick. Tell us about hanging multiple light xtures over the tub. I was looking for something a bit more unexpected than a chandelier above the tub. The clients couldn’t pick just a single style of these handmade xtures, so we opted to use one of each, hung in a row at staggered heights. It’s something like a deconstructed chandelier, and you can appreciate their shapes as they dangle in front of a wall of simple white-hued tile.

Quiet Luxury

THANKS TO SUMPTUOUS FABRICS AND DESERT HUES, AN ARIZONA HOUSE IS AT ONE WITH THE LANDSCAPE.

WRITTEN BY JENNIFER BOLES | PHOTOGRAPHY BY MANOLO LANGIS

When downsizing, some empty nesters gravitate toward a scaled-down version of their previous residence, keeping the same style. But in the case of James Magni and Jason Kalman’s clients, they opted to boldly move to a completely different look. After having raised their children in a spacious, traditional Mediterranean-style dwelling in Paradise Valley, the husband and wife were ready for a change. “They envisioned something much cleaner and more tidy-looking,” Magni says. “They wanted to deaccession their lives, if you will.” This approach came in the form of a newly built contemporary house whose architecture, and now furnishings, meld with the natural landscape.

Originally designed by architect Bing Hu for himself, the abode was conceived to savor the beauty of the desert, particularly Camelback Mountain, in an unobtrusive way. “My No. 1 goal was to blend the house with nature,” shares Hu, who carefully selected materials for the exterior that fit in with the surrounding environment. In addition to plenty of glass to maximize views, the dark tones of oxidized copper and basalt stone allow the structure to fade into the mountains, especially when seen from a distance. Working with designer David Michael Miller, who specified some of the interior finishes, and general contractor Brock Brunkhorst, Hu decided to sell the dwelling to the couple just prior to the construction’s completion.

With most of the house already built, Magni and Kalman set out to customize the interiors for their clients while also respecting the architecture and setting. “Camelback Mountain is very dominant, and the skin of the building is unique. The interiors are sandwiched into the middle, so we had to create transitions from outside to inside that were very natural and organic,” Magni explains. “It was important that we had a palette of rich, sensuous materials.” Adds Kalman, “Our clients did not want a cold, contemporary home. They wanted something that didn’t take itself too seriously.”

The designers eased their clients into a modern environment with transitional furnishings and

soft, luxurious fabrics. In the open living room, a blue silk-velvet sofa, whose tufting is a nod to tradition, is joined by statement pieces like a bronze-and-charred-oak coffee table and a pair of brushed-metal foot stools covered in sheepskin. Taking their color cues from the grounds designed by Jeremy McVicars, the duo also looked to the environment when it came to furniture shape. “In nature, there are no right angles. We wanted sensual, rounder forms that blend with the landscape beyond,” Kalman says, calling out two different pairs of curvaceous chairs that further soften the room.

Given the home’s open floor plan that integrates both indoor and outdoor living spaces, the furnishings Magni and Kalman selected had to look attractive from every possible angle. In the dining area, a maple-and-bronze table and chairs that are fully wrapped in woven chenille anchor a space whose most high-profile piece is a glass-droplet chandelier. The sleek kitchen is no less arresting. Finished simply, yet beautifully, with Calacatta Lincoln marble and cabinetry made of walnut, aluminum and lacquer, the space needed little in the way of embellishment, other than a set of stainless-steel stools with woven seats and backs. Even the patio furniture draws attention from both indoors and out with its sleek, sculptural shapes.

The designers reserved the most sensorial furnishings for the couple’s second-floor bedroom suite. “At nighttime, it feels sexy. Everything is unassuming but very tactile and sensual,” observes Magni, who with Kalman designed the room’s centerpiece: a floating bed made of calfskin leather, walnut and bronze. In the bedroom and adjoining sitting room, cashmere and wool rugs, a ruched Ultrasuede chair and a sectional upholstered in gray chenille create a feast for the senses. The suite’s his-and-her bathrooms’ stone-clad walls and lacquered cabinetry foster a quiet luxury that does not overshadow the breathtaking outdoor views. Although the designers insist that one can never compete with nature, with this house they managed to create an interior landscape that is every bit as beautiful as the one outside.

Blackened-copper paneling by Metal Works, Inc. makes for a striking impact upon approach. The exterior stonework was fabricated by Nance Construction, and Woodesign crafted the walnut-glass-and-bronze front door. Landscape designer Jeremy

Patagonia quartzite gives the husband’s bathroom a masculine feel. The high-gloss lacquered cabinetry by Finely Designed, Inc. features Caesarstone countertops, a Duravit sink and a Dornbracht faucet.

Like the house, the pool area was designed by architect Bing Hu. The zero-edge infinity pool was built by Phoenician Pool Construction. An outdoor sofa and lounge chairs, both by Paola Lenti, stand just outside of the kitchen.

As Suzanne Kasler envisioned the interiors of her clients’ groundup Vail Valley getaway, which they imagined as a cross-generational family gathering spot, her mental mood board lit up with a sartorial spin. “I said, ‘We’re going to make it the Brunello Cucinelli of Beaver Creek,’ ” recalls the designer, referring to the Italian fashion brand’s impeccable-yet-comfortable sportivo chic aesthetic, typically rendered in elegant earth-tone fabrics. “It’s tailored, exudes exclusivity and resonates with the clean, modern feel of the architecture—it seemed like the perfect inspiration for a house here.”

This is the second project with this family for Kasler, and an early-stage collaboration with architect Ruard Veltman (who had also worked with the owners twice previously) helped set the tone of how the home would live—something they both considered deeply. Veltman points to the layered entry, which draws guests into a wide receiving hall with its own cozy fireplace, yet doesn’t immediately give away the home’s mountain views. That stunning scenery, in fact, is intentionally obscured from the entrance by a stone wall at the core of the house that forms the living area’s fireplace. “Clients are often eager to present their ‘wow’ moment—you open the door and ta-dah—but I wanted to let this house unfold,” explains the architect. “Once you’re inside, you don’t always want to see the front door; you want to feel more nestled within your home.”

The residence is “set up like three houses with two connectors,” he goes on to explain.

The living room, which opens to a terrace, is centrally placed, with the dining room doubling as a passageway framed with windows that leads into the kitchen. Branching off the other side of the living room, a study detailed with similarly facing windows serves as a connection into the owners’ suite. “Modern elements allow this house to breathe,” notes Ruard of the scaled-up use of glass that invites in the woody surroundings from nearly every space. The lower level holds guest rooms, a gaming area and a separate ski entry and lounge space, neatly allowing privacy for visitors and keeping sporting equipment separated.

Due to area architectural guidelines, which draw from classic log cabins and the traditional architecture of National Park lodges, the house’s exterior is “designed as a tailored and more modern version of those grand lodges,” says Veltman, noting that the expertise and oversight of general contractor David Hyde drove the home’s high level of craftsmanship. “Every ounce of design was used to either create comfort and beauty or to disguise mechanics,” the architect adds.

Comfort and beauty were the cornerstones of Kasler’s cohesive furnishing plan as well. She sought out inviting pieces that leaned contemporary but were also replete with details that read as art, not unlike pieces of high fashion. See the contrasting band of natural wood that flows across a low cabinet in the living room, or a nearby chair’s leather-wrapped arms—“the kind of design moment you might find on a Hermès handbag,” describes the interior designer. And the room’s wall art is a series of stone panels etched with a metallic wash and hung with brackets, their weightiness creating a connection to the architecture. “They’re perfect for this house and so, so chic,” Kasler enthuses.

The overarching palette is a study in neutrals, with whites, taupes, champagnes and grays predominating. “When you don’t have a lot of color in a space, the challenge becomes how to make it still interesting,” the designer muses. “We accomplished this through layers of rugs and textures, luxurious fabrics that provide so much warmth, and these really refined moments like the kitchen chairs’ beautiful woven backs.” She also points out the subtle, tactile nature of the home’s plaster walls, the use of wood paneling and exposed beams and the unlined linen draperies she hung to diffuse the light and soften the steel muntins crisscrossing the expansive windows. Nature is very much part of the home’s interior experience as well, as Kasler’s palette of whites seems to be in conversation with the surrounding aspen trees.

“Every detail is thought out and exquisite, and against the strength of the materials, there’s an elegant casualness I really think we achieved,” the designer concludes, mentioning how much the owners trusted the team and allowed them to push the envelope creatively. “They wanted perfection,” affirms Veltman, “and this is one of those wonderful houses where everything just works.”

In another view of the

living room, a fieldstone-clad central fireplace and carved stone panels found at the Paris Flea Market bring natural texture into the space. The low cabinet and chair are both Liagre. The pendant is Ochre.

Above: Calacatta Borghini marble spreads across the kitchen range backsplash and counters, playing off custom stained white oak millwork designed in collaboration with RVA Cabinetry. A Waterworks faucet arcs over the island’s sink; the counter stools are by Lee Industries.

Opposite: A Gregorius Pineo hand-forged lantern, round oak table and woven-back side chairs all come together in the breakfast room. The neutral-hued Stark rug complements Saladino for Savel linen curtains and walls of Benjamin Moore’s White Dove.

Rift-sawn white oak planks encase the family room, where a Verellen sectional, Ernest Gaspard coffee table, C.J. Peters credenza and vintage chairs create a comfortable tableau. The billiard table is RH and the rug is by Stark. Manolis Tzortzakis art adorns the wall.

Kerry Joyce linen ties together the bedroom, appearing on a Dmitriy & Co. bed and lounge chair, a Liaigre bench, the Hickory Chair ottoman and on the draperies. Jeri Ledbetter’s Rifugio III overlooks the bed and the drum chandelier is from Profiles.

“Every detail is thought out and exquisite, and there’s an elegant casualness I really think we achieved.”

Atelier001 pendants from Garde oversee the entryway, where designer Adam Hunter placed a round Holly Hunt walnut table. The artwork is by Dan Shaw-Town. Ocean views and a glimpse of the pool are visible through Arcadia Custom doors. The vessels are Palacek.

Previous page: Landscape architect Will Bailey offset the lines of the front façade with olive trees that gracefully undulate toward the entry. Rustic Kansas Rubble limestone creates a textural old-world aesthetic set against the exterior’s white, smooth-finish stucco walls.

We had a special kind of freedom designing this home, because this was a moment of introducing a family to a new chapter in their life,” says Adam Hunter. “It became a rare opportunity to do what was really in my heart.” The deeply intuitive interior designer and former Broadway actor keenly understands transformation—and the power of a dramatic backdrop—but to Hunter, this was more than just putting together beautiful spaces. “It was about creating a feeling of being wrapped up in something, of being cocooned,” he muses.

The clifftop Palisades property overlooking the ocean above the Pacific Coast Highway is anchored with caissons, but Ignacio Rodriguez’s open plan is a celebration of light and air. “The homeowners wanted a Spanish-style home, but with warm, contemporary interior architecture, clean lines and pared-back details,” the architect explains. Though area design guidelines called for a more traditional Spanish exterior, Rodriguez gave the façade a modern expression by wrapping it in textured limestone and stucco, plus opting for pale oak eaves rather than the more typical dark wood overhangs. “All of the materials Ignacio chose—white oak, Douglas fir, limestone and steel—will weather well, which is an important consideration when you’re this close to the water,” comments general contractor Erik Jensen.

“So many beautiful moments here may seem simple, but we had to really peel back the architecture in order to focus on the views,” Rodriguez remarks. Working with his firm’s lead designer, Eileen Carter, and project manager Jorge Padilla, the architect crafted a series of “wow” moments that begin at the front door, where raised stone planters hold 100-year-old olive trees and an extended foyer reveals a Pacific panorama. The main rooms flow effortlessly into one another, but Rodriguez also gave them subtle definition by varying the ceiling treatments. And a wall of bifold glass doors neatly stack away, allowing all the main spaces to spill into the backyard when they’re open. “Ultimately, the design of this house was simply about getting out of the way of nature,” he says.

Similar to the traditional-meets-modern blend achieved by the façade, the interiors lean transitional, mixed with contemporary moments.

“My clients wanted a coastal vibe, but not obviously so, and rooms that felt soulful,” says Hunter. Key to his design was an embrace of the exterior’s natural materials, which drift inside, layered with eye-catching interior stonework like the kitchen’s expanse of fog-inspired quartzite. “It gives the open kitchen more gravitas, and also makes it feel like it’s floating,” he notes. Then, in the living room, a fireplace wall clad in a striking violet-and-white marble commands attention. “That slab is enormous in scale, a real Jack and the Beanstalk moment,” quips Hunter, pointing out a favorite detail: Art Deco-style “steps” that frame the mantel. But the designer also integrated softer forms within the spaces, realized through sculptural pieces like the foyer’s concave pendants—“They’re voluminous yet almost disappear,” he notes—and plush, curved furnishings upholstered with textural wools, mohairs, linens and leathers.

“This house is all about emotional integration,” the designer continues. “You can feel as one in this place—it’s a respite and a retreat.” The ethereal dining room is a case in point with its mesmeric hand-painted walls and ceiling. “The effect is somewhere between a Monet painting and a cloudy sky, and you feel completely transported,” describes Hunter. “It’s magical at night.” The home’s bedrooms are equally immersive, with the designer choosing “gentle colors”—soft whites and creams, peachy-pink sunset hues—a palette also highlighted in the wife’s rose-gold accented home office. And where views haven’t stolen the show, contemporary artworks chosen with Brian Ludlow of Creative Art Partners are carefully placed to continue the narrative of the home.

For the rear terrace that stretches out to a serene pool, the designer chose furnishings in keeping with the interior’s light tones and rounded forms, while landscape architect Will Bailey’s plant choices further temper the architecture’s harder lines. “We did lots of different textures and greens because Southern California gardens really need to perform all year,” explains Bailey. “It’s a loose, native coastal palette of grasses, edible natal plums and succulents, made statelier with olive trees and boxwood.” The aesthetic complements what Hunter calls the “restrained drama” of the home. “This house needed a certain balance, and I think we really got it,” he reflects. “The design is very energetic in ways; there’s a real vitality here, but it’s also meditative—and just happy.”

Calacatta Viola marble envelops the great room’s fireplace surround, where a Marc Phillips Rugs carpet unites a Studiotwentyseven armchair and sofas with Stéphane Parmentier ottomans and a Jean de Merry coffee table. The chandelier is John Pomp Studios.

Above: In the family room, a custom sectional in a Perennials raffia rests under a Lost Profile chandelier from Garde. The ottomans are Cuff Studio, partnered with a round McCollin Bryan coffee table from Holly Hunt. The rug underfoot is by Marc Phillips Rugs.

Opposite: Super white quartzite spills across the kitchen island, counters, walls, shelving and hood for an immersive effect. An Articulo Studios light fixture punctuates the island, and stools from Studio Van den Akker feature a Rogers & Goffigon fabric.

The dining room walls and ceiling painted by Caroline Lizarraga create a moody ambience. Lily Ramírez artwork sits at the head of the bespoke table lined by custom chairs of Edelman leather; the other work is Petra Cortright. The chandelier is by Lindsey Adelman Studio and the floor covering is Eskayel.
