PUBLISHER’ S NOTE

HOME TEAM MEGAN DIPIERO

I have always admired the ability for someone to take another’s vision and bring it to life as if it is their own.

The extraordinarily talented professionals that we feature in this issue live for that challenge and have put their best foot forward to interpret their client’s dreams with creativity in home design, interior style, and landscaping.

While one of the homes featured was bought on a whim

at an open house (“Honey, we’re moving to Florida!”), most of the design and building relationships come after long periods of curation. Once a homeowner finds the right fit, they tend to stay with their team through many homes. Some even bring their teams with them from other cities, while others want a fresh start and look to our pages for creative ideas and new design directions.

We pride ourselves on the content of this magazine. We

too, as a team, spend months going over photos provided to us for consideration to publish. We want our collection of these beautiful homes to cover a diversity of tastes and styles—and then we toss in a bit of whimsy to help spark the imagination of those who, like myself, look to others to bring their dreams to life.

KALEIGH GROVER Publisher, Naples

My father always said, “Make a career out of your hobby and you will always love going to work.”

He was right about that, as he was about many things.

Mine is “stay passionate.” It works in all aspects of life.

EDITOR’S MESSAGE

NAPLES’ FINEST CAPEHART

One of the great pleasures of what we do is watching design evolve and meeting the talented designers who are pushing the boundaries to make it happen. A few months ago, I joined my colleagues, associate publisher Liz Goodman and publisher Kaleigh Grover, for an industry lunch at Dorona and had inspiring conversations with local designers, builders, architects, and purveyors of luxury home goods.

The takeaway from these dialogues was that N aples design is more exciting than ever as the region grows and diversifies. Naples residents are embracing modern architecture, cutting-ed e technology, world-class art, and striking color palettes, as evidenced in the pages and on the gatefold cover of our newest issue.

Our cover story features design by Judith Liegeois, who transformed a coastal cottage into a modern haven to showcase a significant—and downright fun—art collection. Judith went for a minimal look with maximum impact, compliments of color punches and sculptural furnishings that give the home a dose of sophistication while ensuring it is a happy place for gathering with friends. Not an easy feat, I assure you. See the results in “Gallery Glam” on page 172.

Most people wouldn’t typically associate N aples with old Hollywood chic, but a local couple’s Talis Park residence has taken glamour to the next level. Thanks to designer Lou Shafran, this modern château dazzles with black-and-white motifs, statement objects, and lustrous materials. Turn to page 164 for guaranteed inspiration.

If you’re working on a remodel or new build (like so many people are these days), we have packed much eye candy in this issue’s pages. On page 82, we look at designers’ mood boards to better understand their creative process, and on page 94 we ask local gallerists about upcoming exhibits, emerging artists, and what’s collectible now. If you have or are building an art collection, you don’t want to miss their insight. If these don’t awaken the design muse, our “Details” pages surely will. From trending faux bois finishes to game-night essentials, we have tracked down our favorites for your Naples home. Check out our picks starting on page 59.

Wishing you many joyous hours with loved ones at home this season!

(JELLY)FISH OUT OF WATER Combining artistic vision and technical knowhow, this Vie en Rose table from Daniela Forti’s Jellyfish Collection uses a technique known as glass fusing to net a truly seaworthy statement. Artisans melt the glass at high temperatures and then let it slowly cool with the help of gravity—giving the piece a fluid, jelly-like feel.

Knock on Wood FAUX BOIS BRINGS FOREST-INSPIRED FUN TO YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS (NO AX REQUIRED) text

KRISTEN DESMOND LEFEVRE

above:

Go for the grain with this Mahogany wallpaper from WALLSHOPPE. glamwallshoppe.com

A French term meaning “false wood,” this classically rustic design style is cropping up in everything from furniture that looks freshly cut from the forest, to graphically grained fabrics and wallpapers.

Pioneered in the nineteenth century, early faux bois was crafted by F rench artisans using a technique called ferrocement to create objects from rebar, wire frames, and

concrete—sculpting

the

outermost

layers into branch and log shapes. Today, most faux bois items are mass-produced using ceramics, cast resins, and metals. The end result is more affordable (but just as beautiful) as the original. above center:

Venice-based fashion house F ortuny, wandered into the Clive Daniel Home showroom on a trip to Florida. Founded in the early 1900s, the Fortuny name is synonymous with luxury handcrafted fabric and still uses secret, proprietary printing techniques developed by its visionary founder, Mariano F ortuny. It is this same dedication to luxury and innovative design that Riad recognized when he found himself in a Naples design store and first met Clive Daniel Home CEO Daniel Lubner.

“Fortuny’s legacy isn’t just built on handcrafted artisanship

and our world-renowned product, it’s also about our customer experience,” says Riad. “F ortuny’s customers are discerning and demand the very best in every facet of the luxury home experience. Clive Daniel shares our passion for delivering that 76 FLORIDA DESIGN’S NAPLES EDITION 6-1

Only eight weeks after the pair finalized a

collective concept, the Fortuny Gallery was unveiled.

The 500-square-foot space in Clive Daniel Home’s Tamiami showroom features hundreds of the brand’s iconic hand-printed fabrics, as well as pillows, lighting, journals, umbrellas, and custom-upholstered pieces.

Visitors have an opportunity to explore the world of Fortuny in person and in depth.

For Lubner, the pairing of the brands is an ideal

marriage. “Our clients are always looking for ways to take their interiors to the next level, which is something above:

Ask almost any designer about their workflow, and the phrase “mood board” is bound to come up. We caught up with three of Southwest Florida’s top designers to get a peek into their process for creating mood board magic. text

Lisa Ficarra says that when

a mood board is presented

properly and offers a wide array of visuals, it can empower a client to envision what the finished design will look like when completed.

Ficarra, founder of Naples- and Southwest Florida–based Lisa Ficarra Associates, says, “I generally present groupings of fabrics with different colors and textures to see what my client gravitates toward.”

Ficarra says that once she and her client are on the same page, she’ll use

the mood board she’s created to provide inspiration that will continue throughout the home—in all of the furniture, fabrics, and accessories chosen to complete the project. “We try to express our feeling for the design of the space with our concept of ceiling designs and wall details, furniture pieces, and fabrics incorporating different textures,” she says. “It’s a creative approach that enhances the client’s overall design experience.” ficarradesignassociates.com

INSPIRATION Dwayne Bergmann wants to create—not

curate—a

space for his clients to live in. Bergmann, founder of Naplesand F ort Myers–based Dwayne Bergmann Interiors, says he designs mood boards “with a hint of a modernized feel from the sixties as well as a signature of my firm, which is using metallics and mixing metals such as brass, bronze, and nickel.” His overall design concept? “Warm and grounded within a fresh framework of classic modern design,” he says.

Bergmann says his mood boards tend to evolve over time. “The initial mood board is meant to be just that—a spark. It gets our clients excited, keeps them engaged, and is a pretext to the completed project,” he says.

dwayne bergmann

“Offering my clients the ability to touch, feel, and interact with the elements I’m proposing gives them a taste of what to expect and also the opportunity to make any adjustments to color, texture, and scale. The mood board captures the essence, spirit, and character of them and how I’ve interpreted it to be reflected in their home.” dwaynebergmann.com

ANGELA FINE FURNISHINGS Black and white home decor is trending now.

“Gray is on its way out and black is emerging as the new neutral,” says Angela Lossia, owner of Angela Fine Furnishings in Naples.

It’s a trend she started seeing at last year’s Fall High Point Market.

Black and white decor makes a statement and can be used in nearly any room in your home. While black is chic, elegant, and never goes out of style, white is pure and fresh, perfect for coastal Naples.

Make a statement by hanging a collage of black and white art, or by filling your shelves with black and white accessories. A black or pure white cowhide rug under your coffee table adds drama and dining tables with white glass tops are trending now. Nothing is more striking than white sofas with black and white pillows. All the rage—black hardware and lighting fixtures.

“Add a pop of your favorite color,” Lossia says. “It’s the final touch.”

HOW DOES YOUR GALLERY GROW? Florida Design caught up with four of Naples’ gallery greats to find out what’s now and what’s next for Gulf Coast collectors. text

method & concept CHAD JENSEN, FOUNDING DIRECTOR

What’s your take on the Naples art scene?

We’ve seen new people move to the area and an acceleration of youth. We’re in a big transitional moment. A lot of creatives and agencies are coming to Southwest F lorida and changing the cultural fabric of our community. It’s optimistic.

In what direction are you taking the gallery? We’re focusing on more innovative programming and creative partnerships and collaborations with our artists. We’re

pandemic. Our business is divided between retail and working with international artists and designers and as a custom design studio. We’re working with artists and companies to develop ideas for products and push the boundaries of our design.

What emerging artists are you tracking? Brett below:

Lithic, by Brett Harvey

Harvey comes to mind instantly. He moved from New York and has a master’s degree in classical figurative

sculpture.

We’ve

been

working

with him for close to two years now and commissioned him for an outdoor monumental piece installed here at the Collective, where the gallery is.

How has the pandemic affected the Naples art scene? In the pandemic, F lorida kind of benefited. It was a little more open (which didn’t come without its own set of issues), but we got an influx of people. The uptick is younger and culturally based, which is uncharacteristic of our Naples demographic. We saw a lot of people coming from California, Colorado, and ultimately a lot of New Yorkers. methodandconcept.com above:

provide clients with an eclectic selection, from traditional landscapes to purely abstract. We have brought in more abstract works during the past few years. We’re always looking for something special and unique to Naples and are excited about a new glass artist, Janet Kelman, who creates glass boats.

Any upcoming exhibitions planned? We’re still in flux about what’s going to be happening for season. We will have our annual show with Anna Kincaide—one of our best-known artists who we’ve carried for at least 10 years—in January. She does florals cascading off women’s hats and her work has really evolved.

It’s more colorful and the brushwork is more loose. gardnercolbygallery.com above:

Limitations 6,

by Mally Khorasantchi

What emerging artists are you tracking? Reynier Llanes has taken off; he was the best-seller last year behind Hunt Slonem. His work is very positive, considering he fled Cuba and that was a huge undertaking. It’s resonating with people and with museums. We picked him up five years ago. I am so thrilled with his success—to see it unfold and come together. He was, not long ago, a starving artist.

Any upcoming exhibitions planned? The season is tentative. We’re seeing a “new to us” artist in New York City. We like to meet artists in person before we take them on to make sure they’re aligned with our long-term view of art.

Art has a life of its own long after the collector and long after the artist. We have a heavy focus on museum and academic reputation. It’s the long view of art; the sale is short term.

How has the pandemic affected the Naples art scene? Long-established galleries, like us, did what they could to cater to clientele without being open to the public. However people felt comfortable, that’s what we did. We adjusted based on what the client wanted. The artists reacted two ways: They flourished during the time they were being shut in, or they got depressed.

The artists were reacting to the situation, and to the riots and Black

Lives Matter. That’s what art does. It reacts to what’s happening. The art that comes from this time will have an impact for years to come. It will become the COVID art era; it will definitely be a distinct period in art history for sure. harmonmeekgallery.com

Mitchell Siegel has always found beauty in what others may have dismissed.

“I can take a look at something that is

essentially rubbish and envision a way to make it live again,” he says. “I can look up toward the sky and come up with an idea of how to make a wall piece using tropical leaves. Or I can look at a seashell and envision crushing it and making an inlay.”

Siegel found himself contemplating the idea of

repurposing nature more and more as his career in textiles repeatedly took him to the inspiration-rich Philippines. When the call to create became too compelling, he began making innovative items like laminated bowls inlaid with banana this page:

from Southeast Asia. Over the years, he has refined the process of procuring the wood from sustainably focused partners in Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The wood is rough-carved in Indonesia and then shipped to the Naples-based woodshop where Siegel’s team does all the finishing, staining, and bleaching. The end products include custom live-edge acacia tables and captivating wood sculptures that are unparalleled, particularly since import licenses are no longer being issued.

To craft the smaller pieces in his showroom, Siegel employs artisans in

the three countries. Prior to the pandemic, he spent the month of September in Southeast Asia, visiting them and providing artistic direction to relay his design vision for that year—from shapes to finishes to hues.

In Cocoon, Siegel has truly realized his vision of using nature’s products

to create unique memories that will be passed down from generation to generation. cocoonnaturescreations.com above:

Just as one might look for a way to repurpose a tree from their childhood backyard, Siegel hopes his sculptures will serve as enduring memories for those who purchase them.

JUDITH LIEGEOIS DESIGNS Inspired by extensive travel abroad and throughout the United States, Judith Liegeois exudes creativity and collaborative spirit. Her unique sense of color, style, and placement; her keen eye for detail; and superb team enhance every design project she is privileged to take on.

Judith grew up on northern New Zealand’s Bay of Islands.

The beach was her playground—rocks were toys, and driftwood, seashells, and seaweed were art supplies. For Judith, playing “house” meant drawing floor plans in the sand with a stick, dragging driftwood walls into place, then decorating her conjured spaces with seashells and kelp. At night, the tide came in and washed it all away, so she’d start again in the morning.

From this, Judith approaches each design project like a new morning—with an understanding of the client’s needs and delivering a truly tailored style. Judith specializes in clean lines, organic textures, and local artisans. Judith Liegeois Designs is a boutique design firm, crafting spaces built around beautiful living.

ABBEY CARPET & FLOOR Abbey Carpet & Floor of Naples has an enduring history of transforming beautiful Naples’ houses into uncompromising dream homes.

This exceptional lakefront estate received an amazing makeover with the help of the professionals at Abbey.

The homeowners came to Abbey with an outdated luxury home that had great “bones,” but was in need of updating. The goal was to transform the Tuscan look into a modern, timeless design more representative of the Naples lifestyle.

Flooring materials, accent pieces, wall treatments, backsplashes, patio tile, and many more decorative products were used to create a timeless masterpiece

anyone would be thrilled to call home.

Whether a full home renovation is needed or perhaps just updating a favorite room, the design experts at Abbey Carpet & Floor work to ensure any project is something people are proud to share.

According to the homeowners: “Once we entered the Abbey Carpet & Floor showroom it was immediately apparent this was no ordinary flooring store. We were certain this was the place where dreams become reality.”

“We suggest visiting Abbey Carpet & Floor of Naples today to begin enjoying the Southwest Florida lifestyle right there in your beautiful home.”

“At Abbey, we felt our needs always came first.”

PBS CONTRACTORS This renovation showcased innovation, technical skills, and creative design by turning a blank space in Kalea Bay into a beautiful home– from simple to sublime. The focal point of this collaboration with Ashmore Design includes the six wood beams attached to the living room ceiling to bring a dynamic design to the room. Finding the right solution to safely secure these beams in place, while keeping the aesthetics of the plan, was a challenge. To do so, the PBS team tailored innovative, stylized metal straps to support the beams. This solution transformed a standard ceiling into a beautiful and unique architectural feature. A built-in fireplace/television combination is delicately framed with shiplap walls and floating shelves in the living room, creating a rare and beautiful feature wall. The shiplap continues around the room to a dry bar area with a mirrored backsplash and complementary cabinetry, providing beauty and storage.

Pops of color and layers of texture accent the home’s neutral palette. Designed by a French artist in the 1920s, the shorebird, mirror, and console are a nod to the homeowner’s appreciation for French decor and love for birds.

JETT THOMPSON “Designing someone’s home is the most personal thing you can be asked to do. It requires total trust and commitment to the process. Our goal is for the home to be a reflection of the people who live there, their values, history, and dreams.”

This side entrance off the breezeway welcomes the homeowner when she returns from her morning beach walks—offering a space that’s friendly to sandy feet, but still chic and inviting.

THINK SOUTHERN-INSPIRED DESIGN, and a hanging porch swing almost always comes to mind.

Designer Jett Thompson’s client was raised in Alabama, so it’s no surprise that she wanted to bring that brand of Southern charm to her new primary residence in Old Naples. “There are elements that are special to her from growing up as a kid in the Mobile area,” Thompson says of her client.

Thompson, a Naples-based interior designer and owner of an eponymous local home boutique, had done a refresh for the client’s previous home. They teamed up again—this time with architect Stofft Cooney and builders Knauf-Koenig Group for a newly built home in Naples’ Port Royal neighborhood. “From the woodwork (a specialty of Matt Knauf’s, who is a carpenter by trade), to the uniqueness of...the master suite’s entry doors

procured from a former celebrity-owned home, this estate exudes distinctly Southern understated elegance,” says Nick Radick, director of marketing for Knauf-Koenig Group.

The home’s neutral interior palette made incorporating key pieces the couple had in their previous beach cottage easy. Layers of texture, natural materials, and vintage items give the home a curated (but not overly decorated) vibe. The interior light fixtures are one-of-a-kind, many sourced from France and Italy. A French oak wire-brushed floor flows through most of the home.

The result is a balanced space that moves flawlessly between formal and comfortable. “We didn’t want the house to feel too ‘new,’” says Thompson.

The master suite blends the best of Southern living and beachy elegance.

The pitched ceiling and hemp rug give the room a coastal cottage feeling that’s offset by the antique panel behind the bed. The homeowner’s affinity for shorebirds is captured in the drapery fabrics that feature herons and lilies.

“This living room is not fussy and acts as a nice entertaining space,” says designer Jett Thompson. The touches of green, a sisal rug, and a custom-made fire screen reminiscent of seagrass inspire an airy outdoor feeling. The coffee table, made from an 1800s Chinese daybed, anchors the room.

The fretwork elm doors from Asia lead to the master bedroom and bathroom, and separate the space from the rest of the house. The open work allows for a refreshing cross breeze to naturally cool the space.

The dining room seamlessly connects to the living room and kitchen—as well as the outdoor summer room (which can be accessed through sliding doors). The vintage bamboo and leather table base by McGuire Furniture Company—accompanied by woven chairs and an antler mirror for added texture—keeps the dining space casual and inviting.

Jett Thompson_Fogg appd 8 pgs.indd 145

9/22/21 10:20 AM

To accommodate the homeowner’s appetite for entertaining, Thompson embraced the kitchen design. “It doesn’t matter what you do. When you have friends over, they gather in the kitchen,” she says. “We decided to address that and have comfortable seating areas where you can have coffee or a glass of wine.” The kitchen is outfitted with three seating areas, each with comfortable chairs.

The dining room is nearby, offering a fourth sitting area where guests can gather.

The kitchen was originally designed with the cabinets and sink on the home’s east wall.

Thompson moved the sink to the island and opened up the wall with a large steel window that drenches the space with light. “It feels more like a solarium rather than a kitchen,” she says. “It is open, bright, and inviting.”

Directly opposite the new window is the outdoor terrace, decorated with natural and indigenous materials. “The feeling we were after was to allow the two areas to flow easily and be inviting and comfortable as if it were a family room,” says Thompson.

An antique Louis XVI mirror hangs over the custom tub. “The wallpaper, mirror, and lantern all offer what I like to call ‘a little high heel’ to the home. It is a little jewel box,” says Thompson.

Instead of shooing people out of the kitchen during gatherings, Thompson and the homeowner turned the space into the home’s most inviting and comfortable room with oversized wing chairs and deep bar stools upholstered in performance fabric.

On either side of the Francois & Company hood are vintage Moroccan lanterns. A pair of custom-made chandeliers adds a wood element.

Thompson created an outdoor space

Staying true to the home’s Miami Beach roots, the ultramodern, white sofa, lounge chairs and pistachio-hued cocktail table from Vondom pair with Dedon’s dining ensemble from Clima Outdoor to shape the outdoor livultramodern, white sofa, lounge chairs and pistachio-hued cocing area — a favorite family gathering spot.

inspired by Southern homes and their lush gardens. Foliage, large flower pots, and comfortable seating soften the space around the pool.

The outdoor fireplace is made from tabby—a beloved Southern building material composed of crushed oyster shells, sand, and water. Pecky cypress (another Southern style staple) is used as the mantle. Bahama shutters allow for a constant breeze to flow through the alfresco dining space.

“This family are outdoor enthusiasts. They love the flexibility of being outdoors most of the year,” Thompson says. Those outdoor spaces gave Thompson extra room to bring the homeowners’ Southern dreams to life. “The master bedroom has French doors that open to the terrace, and there’s a swing, a water feature, and a garden that speak back to the Deep South,” she says. “This home has this real feeling of Southern hospitality.”

below: Thompson infused the sunroom with texture. The outdoor fireplace is surrounded by seashell-studded tabby.

The pitched wooden ceiling continues the coastal feel. The custom dining table is made with a zinc top and a cypress base; the flooring and wall around the outdoor kitchen are crafted from shell stone.

A New Light COMBINING STYLES AND INFLUENCES, A NAPLES HOME GOES FROM MASSIVELY MEDITERRANEAN TO ECLECTICALLY ELEGANT

GIL WALSH

“When I work with a new client, I listen to what inspires them. Once we are speaking the same language, the journey begins in designing a space that is beautiful, functional, and reflective of their unique, personal style.”

IF YOUR DECORATIVE TASTE RUNS French, or if Italianate is your style, or even if the American West Coast is your preferred interior milieu, you and designer Gil Walsh of Gil Walsh Interiors may have a lot in common.

Which is to say: Walsh is a master at mashing up design elements in a way that allows each piece to have its say. “As if the client has traveled the world,” Walsh explains.

N owhere is Walsh’s amalgam of looks— what she calls “Santa Barbara style”—more evident than in this elegant N aples home.

Situated in prestigious Port Royal, it was built six years ago in the then-popular Mediterranean mode. “The woodwork was beautiful, but dark and heavy,” Walsh says of the home’s before look. “There were heavy brick vaulted ceilings in the kitchen, and much use of iron in the balustrades,” she recalls. “It was a mannish house, which we wanted to soften.”

above:

Soaring nearly three-stories high, the triple-tiered chandelier bathes a grand, round table with light. Designer Gil Walsh painted some of the home’s dark wood trim to match the pale hues of the new interiors, but she retained the dramatic wood elements in the entryway.

right: The living room is set in two subtly specified conversation spaces. Walsh deftly combines Venetian, traditional, and contemporary styling—all awash in tones of blue and green. From wood to glass to metal and bone, no two tables are alike.

A Chihuly-esque chandelier hangs above.

Bronze handrails top the Colombian-crafted stair balustrade that leads to the dining room, where a Venetian glass chandelier illuminates Bob Christian’s botanical mural.

The hand-carved dining table is surrounded

by Italianate upholstered chairs with seats in a patterned velvet and backs in a Fortuny fabric.

Walsh was already familiar with the homeowners’ tastes after previously partnering with them on the design of a home in Pennsylvania. Working off that experience, Walsh filled their 10,000-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath Florida home with celadon greens, soft blues, and gentle peach hues, merging textures, patterns (and, seemingly, continents) into a home full of comfort and warmth.

Through double entry doors, the home’s soaring, circular foyer is ringed with stained oak and Colombian ironwork that coils upward to a vaulted cupola ceiling. A three-tiered custom chandelier lights the space below. Walsh says that despite the perceived weight of the materials, the wrought iron balconies take on an ephemeral feel when paired with her more delicate, spring-like palette.

A large part of the home’s grandeur comes in the form of the paintings—murals and framed artwork—of Bob Christian.

Found in the dining room, the master bedroom and its adjoining bath, the powder room, and the gallery, Christian’s work ties the home’s former Mediterranean theme to a sunny N eopolitan lifestyle.

The master bedroom’s walls are finished in a blue Venetian plaster adorned with a pale tree-of-life pattern created by Christian, striking the careful balance between heavy and light that is Walsh’s signature. “The same balance is important in the juxtaposition of the draperies’ small designs and the larger ones of rugs and pillows,” she says. For some designers, placing a French Country bed next to a white Chippendale desk chair,

What was once a quartet of dark, neglected niches between the powder room and the family room has been transformed into a dramatically lit passageway featuring Bob Christian’s trompe l’oeil murals of Delft vases in springtime.

right: The powder room’s unique shape (which Walsh describes as “onehalf of an octagon”) called for an equally unique design treatment. Enter Christian’s murals, which create a sunny bower of palms and bamboo on the walls. Narrow, gilded sconces and a simple scalloped vanity in painted blue wood add a rustic elegance to the space.

At one end of the master bedroom, an intimate seating area provides a space for relaxation. The patterns in the drapes, rug, wall work, and mirror are balanced by the tranquility of the cream-colored sofa and dusky-blue chair. Walsh creates unity and calm using a repeating rose and blue color palette.

above:

Beneath the illuminated, double tray ceilings of the master bedroom, a Swedish crystal chandelier lights the French Country-style gilded iron bed. Patterns echo around the room, tying the design together: the drapes and small settee, the textured bedspread and lacey wall designs, a tiny gilded desk lamp and the large, elegant bed.

Adjacent to the master bedroom, the private sitting room retains a familiar palette, popped by the salmon hues of a three-paneled screen featuring a wreath and vase design created from shells embroidered on fabric.

or topping faux marble bedside tables with washed pine lamps might be unorthodox. For Walsh, they’re the very interactions that enliven a room.

With the master suite and one guest bedroom downstairs and three additional guest suites upstairs, the homeowners wanted a respite from entertaining when guests are visiting. Walsh gave them just the spot in a private sitting room. Adjoining the master bedroom, it offers views across the pool and toward an inland waterway and a nature preserve beyond.

Whether relaxing by the pool, playing billiards in the game room, dining alfresco on the veranda, or gazing at nature from the expansive balconies, this former “heavy” house now offers ethereal pleasures warmed by the light of Naples sunshine.

Perfect Pivots A DESIGNER TURNS SUPPLY-CHAIN SHORTAGES INTO SERENDIPITY

inter ior design ASHLEY MARTIN, ASHLEY MARTIN HOME, WINTER PARK, FL text JUDY MARTEL photo gr aphy AMY L AMB, NASHVILLE, TN

FOR M OST PEOPLE associated with the building or design trades, searching for a silver lining during the supply-chain troubles caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has been an exercise in frustration. But interior designer Ashley Martin of Ashley Martin Home says that being forced to continually pivot in the midst of the manufacturing shortages turned into a “happy accident” for the N aples home she recently completed.

“We constantly had to pivot, looking for similar substitutes for furnishings and building materials, but I honestly feel like the items we reselected were as good, or better, than our original designs,” says Martin. “It was kind of like it was meant to be.” The fact that the project was also completed in four months was “a huge accomplishment,” she adds.

The owners wanted a complete overhaul of their two-story, five-bedroom Mediterranean-style home in The Moorings.

They found Martin—whose firm is headquartered in Winter Park—through Instagram. After an initial meeting via Zoom, the partnership was off and running with a clean slate for a top-to-bottom redesign.

Interior designer Ashley Martin lightened the Mediterranean-style family room by painting it white and installing light, engineered-wood floors.

She kept the arches above the sliding glass doors, but redesigned the built-in shelving and added shiplap to the walls for a coastal feel. The woven touches in the light fixtures, bench, and barstools in the adjoining kitchen offer a casual beachy vibe.

Ashley Martin_NP61_type in_6 pgs.indd 159

9/20/21 11:19 AM

Martin’s vision for the home was light, bright, and familyfriendly. She began with a color palette of mostly navy and white to create a timeless, nearly nautical feel that can withstand the wear and tear imposed by small children. Furniture upholstered in easyto-clean Crypton is “super kid-proof,” Martin notes. Part of creating a more classic look meant keeping the design on the subtle side. “We were going for a beach feel with certain elements like woven light fixtures and engineered-wood floors, but we didn’t want it to be over the top. We didn’t go all-in with the coastal theme,” she says.

The first task Martin took on was creating a dedicated entry space. “Before, when visitors entered through the front door, they could see the entire first-floor living space,” she says. “My philosophy is that your home should unfold like the chapters of a book to create a story. If everything is exposed at once, the eye doesn’t know where to look and it can’t appreciate the details of each room.” Martin straightened an angled wall and closed off the office with frosted-glass doors so it could double as a guest room.

She then added another wall opposite the office, separating the foyer from the main living area.

From the entryway, the rooms flow seamlessly in a cohesive design with clean, modern furnishings elevated by eclectic touches reflecting the owners’ charm. “I tried to find one-of-a-kind pieces to inject some personality in each of the rooms,” says Martin.

After squaring an angled wall, closing the office off with frosted glass doors, and building a facing wall to provide separation, the foyer became its own tone-setting space.

“We wanted the kitchen to be impactful,” says Martin. “The marble tile backsplash in gray, gold, and white is a showstopper.” The gold lights above the island pick up the gold in the backsplash but their simple design doesn’t compete with it. The gray quartz countertop on the island was a substitute choice since the original selection was unavailable due to pandemic-related manufacturing shortages. “This one is slightly lighter in color, but I think it turned out to be better than our original choice,” Martin says.

Ashley Martin_NP61_type in_6 pgs.indd 161

9/20/21 11:19 AM

The logistical challenges of completing the project while constantly checking in with suppliers and locating substitutions for items on indefinite hold (or no longer available), made the end result that much sweeter for Martin and the homeowners. “It was insanity to do it in four months during the pandemic,” Martin says. “But this turned out to be probably one of my biggest success stories.” left:

The koi fish wallpaper in the first-floor powder room was chosen by the owner. The vanity is black-wrapped zinc with a white quartzite top. It was a substitute choice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Martin calls it “the happiest reselection.” above:

CHÂTEAU CHIC A NEW YORK COUPLE CREATES THE LUXURIOUS SECOND HOME OF THEIR DREAMS

The homeowners wanted a modern French château, a design that makes a grand statement and stands apart from the other homes in Talis Park.

LUSIA (LOU) SHAFRAN “My inspiration for this home had a great deal to do with the classical architecture of the exterior. It led to the development of elements of design that transcend time and are always inspirational and noteworthy, yet modern.”

NEW YORKERS LARRY and Marisa Biondi weren’t looking to move out of their second home in Talis Park. But when someone wanted to buy their residence, the Biondis took it as a sign that it was time to create something new in a community they had come to love.

“We were always running out of bedrooms on vacation anyway,” says Larry, a N ew York–based trial attorney whose family loves Naples because of the area’s plentiful golf, tennis, sailing, and equestrian opportunities.

After selling their home, the Biondis hired Diamond Custom Homes to build a 16,000-square-foot modern French château that includes six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a bar, a theater room, a pool area, and a four-car garage.

Then, the homeowners brought in Pacifica Interior Design to create open, elegant rooms with a clean, black and white palette for its modern appeal and adaptability.

“We felt it was a good basis for a very stunning home because we could add color where we wanted, and in this case we chose blue,” says Lou Shafran, Pacifica’s founder. “With black and white as your base, you can change the home completely by substituting in another color, or by removing and replacing some of the art.”

Diamond Custom Homes and WDG Architects worked with Pacifica Interior Design to ensure that everyone was on board with the home’s plans.

“Sometimes as you move forward, you have to be flexible,” says Michael Diamond, of Diamond Custom Homes. “When things don’t match the vision, that’s when the builder and interior designer step in and make adjustments.”

Those adjustments included improving the home’s flow by opening up the first floor living spaces, and turning what was originally intended as a fitness room into a bar area that opens up to the pool.

“We were going for a high-end resort feel,” Larry says. “Some of our neighbors close 166 FLORIDA DESIGN’S NAPLES EDITION 6-1

Interior designer Lou Shafran created the custom coffee table in the living room and then designed the rest of the space around it, opting for a clean yet comfortable look that stands the test of time.

“The idea here was to create a fairly formal dining room where the Biondis could entertain guests,” Shafran says. “But we also wanted to create a modern space, by adding the light fixture and other elements. The goal was to do something that would not lose style over time.”

164_Pacifica_NP61_type in_8 pgs.indd 167

9/29/21 10:39 AM

In the family room, Shafran crafted custom built-ins with carved detailing for the couple’s big-screen television. She also created an architectural, multi-tiered coffee table, surrounding it with a plush sectional and comfortable blue swivel chairs. “We wanted this to be a source of comfort for them, but also pride,” she says.

themselves in with their landscaping, but we wanted to leave it pretty open, because we’re on a pond and there’s a golf course here so we wanted to be able to enjoy it. We only wanted to do enough to the outside to accent the house without going overboard.”

Shafran developed her design aesthetic in Los Angeles, where high-drama looks and elegant custom pieces are de rigeur. In the Biondi home, she flexes this sensibility with bold geometric patterns, elegant lines, statement-making chandeliers, and a fusion of old and new. right: This space was originally intended to be a fitness room, Shafran says, but “quite a bit into the project” the Biondis decided they would prefer a bar instead.

Shafran designed the built-ins for this space, as well as the furnishings and draperies. “It worked out to be exactly what they wanted,” she says. “They can entertain so nicely, and also enjoy it by themselves.”

164_Pacifica_NP61_type in_8 pgs.indd 169

9/20/21 11:54 AM

The entire project took two years, but the Biondis loved the end result.

“We moved in right after the first of this year,” Larry says. “The flow is great and convenient. You can go from the kitchen to the breakfast nook and then, boom, you’re right outside. The views are so nice, and the theater is a pleasure. This is just a very livable house.” below: Shafran believes that any room of any size can be visually interesting, and this powder room proves her point. “It’s actually my favorite room in the house,” she says.

Shafran added a wall to the space to provide privacy, created a custom black glass cabinet, and laid bold black and white tile on the floor for an elegant result.

JUDITH LIEGEOIS “This project centered around the homeowner’s outstanding art collection, where we created a comfortable and livable space that became a conversation between art and design. The collection is both serious and playful, therefore the living spaces were designed to also play in both realms.”

Gallery Glam A COASTAL COTTAGE IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ART-STUDDED SPACE WHERE FRIENDS CAN GATHER

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO WITH YOUR GUT. Just ask Cindy Engles: during a Thanksgiving visit to Naples, she walked into an open house for the heck of it, and strolled out with a new home and plans for a cross-country move. Originally, she had only intended to walk off a slice of pie, but fate—in this case, a 5,200-square-foot coastal cottage—beckoned.

One small issue: the residence was staged in a “very Florida” way, which is fine for some people. But for Engles, the aesthetic wasn’t going to work with the sizable modern art collection she has curated for more than two decades with the help of art consultant Sharon Leeber of Architectural Arts in Dallas. above:

Interior designer Judith Liegeois says that homeowner Cindy Engles already owned the striking marble-topped dining room table, but she bought the orange chandelier at Art Basel.

Liegeois was tasked with finding ways to show off Engles’ artwork, from the white display shelf she added in front of the window to the lighting she placed inside the pre-existing built-ins.

right: In the living room, a large statue of a woman is the star of the space. (“Don’t we all need a sassy woman in our living room?” Engles quips.) Liegeois added custom-made white sofas and pink, white, and yellow accent pillows to the space for a look that’s bold but doesn’t steal the show.

“The goal was not to match the collection. You don’t want to do that when you have good artwork. In a project like this, the furniture and architecture need to take a step back and let the art and sculpture reign.”

—Judith Liegeois

Engles’ collection is wide-ranging—including abstracts, sculptures, wall-hangings, and stunning photography—but all of it is a reflection of its owner’s vivacious personality.

“I believe a home becomes more personalized with art,” Engles said. “Anyone [who] walks into my home would call it ‘happy.’ I love that adjective because the art I’ve been collecting is so fun. I buy what I like, and with [Leeber’s] help it has been a wonderful journey and hobby.”

What Engles needed was a way to merge her happy hobby with her brand-new home.

After conferring with Leeber, Engles knew she needed a designer who could help her create a lively, livable backdrop for the art— without overwhelming it. By chance, Engles and Leeber were shopping in downtown Naples when they came across designer Judith Liegeois of Judith Liegeois Designs.

After falling in love with her “fun and funky” showroom, Engles says she knew Liegeois was just right for the job.

“She was not going to be a coastal, blueand-white safe decorator,” Engles says. “She is a person who appreciates good design and art. We immediately clicked.”

A large photograph of a Cuban girl in an elaborate quinceañera dress influenced the color choices in this room. “What I loved about this photo is that she is standing in front of a public pool, and you see that some of the water is missing and the hardscape is cracked but she doesn’t care,” Engles says. “She is in her beautiful dress, owning this moment.”

Judith Liegeois_NP61_type in HR.indd 175

11/22/21 2:23 PM

Engles donated most of the furniture and artwork that had been used to stage the home—giving Liegeois a clean slate to work with. For her part, Liegeois says she used that starting point to step back and let the house tell her what it needed (“Because,” as she says, “it will.”)

And it did—from the custom bedframe to the sheep stool for the piano.

Integrating and displaying Engles’ art was the next step. “I didn’t mind taking a back seat to what was already there,” Liegeois says. “I put the furniture, colors, and tones together in a way that plays off her pieces. The goal was not to match the collection. You don’t want to do that when you have good artwork. In a project like this, the furniture and architecture need to take a step back and let the art and sculpture reign.”

Entryways don’t have to be plain affairs. Liegeois uses this one to showcase a large, sculptural piece and a neon work called, When I Stop Thinking Then I Really Am.

above left:

The living room is part of a larger space that includes the kitchen area, making it a perfect spot for parties with friends. A custom ottoman in the middle of the living room can support drinks, snacks, or propped-up feet while guests watch movies or sports on television.

above left:

Printed Swiss draperies, a French lighting fixture, and a vintage desk make Engles’ study a chic retreat. The showstopper in this room is a life-sized sculpture of a dress called The Fairy Tale. From a distance, the dress looks like a standard ballgown. “But when you look closer, all of the lace is glass scissors because all fairy tales are fragile, and you need to guard yourself,” Engles says.

above right: Liegeois chose a “fun, hippy-trippy” wallpaper in the powder room, balancing the vibrant colors and patterns with ridged white wall sconces and a clean-lined sink atop a sturdy marble block vanity.

Judith Liegeois_NP61_type in HR.indd 177

9/22/21 10:16 AM

In the master suite, the goal was to calm everything down. Liegeois used neutrals such as gray, white, and tan and kept the patterns to a minimum so that Engles could have a soothing place to rest and relax.

Everything went seamlessly, Liegeois says, because Engles is so “lovely and easygoing” and was excited every time a new piece showed up. “Beginning to end, it was a total transformation,” Engles says. “N ow that it’s complete, it looks and feels different and more personalized and happier and more interesting. I am so glad that [Liegeois] could tie it all together.”

Although she loves sharing her space with the art collection she’s curated, Engles says sharing her colorful and comfortable new home with friends is the ultimate payoff for the project. “I call my house ‘Friends’ Place’—and I mean friends plural possessive—because I want all of my friends to think it’s their house,” Engles says. “I don’t need all these bedrooms. I want to share it with others.” above:

A heavenly chandelier made from glass globes is the focal point in the serene master bath, where Liegeois kept everything clean, simple, and spa-like from the fixtures to the palette.

RENÉE GADDIS “With its clean lines and nature inspired touches, this welcoming interior allows you to enjoy the true beauty of what is right outside. Every room is filled with bright and modern furniture pieces, using inviting tones that captivate interest.”

IOWA RESIDENTS JOSH AND AM ANDA Moulton already owned a second home in Treviso Bay, Naples when a chance detour down Vanderbilt Beach Road led them to purchase a new condo in Kalea Bay—and to a design partnership they say was “meant to be.”

Kalea Bay Tower 200 hadn’t even broken ground yet. Still, the Moultons were captivated by the model unit designed by Renée Gaddis. “We walked in and it felt like home,” explains Amanda Moulton. “We have smaller kids, and we like to invite friends and family over,” she says. “She did a good job of mixing sophisticated with comfortable; I saw my kids there. You could see the wow factor, but at the same time, it was cozy.” above:

A high-gloss white sculptural console with brass inlay fills the space between the kitchen and dining room, serving as a buffet when the family entertains. The four-piece brass mirror can be hung in different configurations. A pair of black marble lamps and a brass tabletop sculpture make an architectural statement.

A custom, white oak dining table with a scalloped base is juxtaposed against carved oak chairs and a dramatic, movable eight-globe light fixture. The sculptural details coalesce to create an intimate dining area that makes a chic statement.

The Moultons discovered that Gaddis had grown up in a town not far from their own home in Iowa. They also learned that she is one of six kids, like Josh.

Their trust in Gaddis was complete; between the 1,500-mile distance between them and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, their collaboration rested on a single 90-minute client meeting and a 10-pound box of sample fabrics and photos that Gaddis sent to the homeowners. But that was all it took for Gaddis to design the Moultons’ four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath dream home.

Gaddis and her team were given free rein to combine resilient, childfriendly materials with a dramatic design aesthetic to create a sensational first impression. The 3,700-square-foot condominium’s sweeping views of the water gave Gaddis a head start.

“The living room ceiling was the first big thing we tackled, with its nine dropped panels. They create a huge architectural element with soft nighttime mood lighting,” explains Gaddis. “Then we designed the living space around it in a neutral palette with pops of gray, mixed metals, textures, and fabrics that were beautiful, elegant, and crisp.” The low-profile sectional and chairs are upholstered in durable Crypton fabric, while a sisal rug covers Legno Bastone wood flooring that runs parallel to the horizon to create spatial illusion.

She loves to share her room.”

Gaddis designed and furnished the entire condo, down to the bedding and dishware—rushing to make it move-in ready for the Moultons by Thanksgiving 2020. Per the Moultons’ instructions, Gaddis was not to send her clients any photos of the condo prior to completion; they wanted their first impression to be in person.

“When the elevator doors opened, it took our breath away,” says Josh Moulton. “Amanda and I and the kids were speechless. Though we’ve built eight homes, we had no idea we would ever own something that looked like we were opening a magazine,” he said. “Not to call my wife out, but she cried and Amanda’s not a crier.”

From the fourteenth floor gazing out over mangroves and the Gulf of Mexico in the distance, Amanda Moulton calls the condo the family’s “little piece of heaven on Earth. It’s definitely our happy place,” she says.

DANIELLE WEENER was just along for the ride when she accompanied her sister on a N aples househunting outing. N evertheless, she found the home she didn’t know she was looking for.

An Atlanta transplant, Weener says she didn’t realize she was craving change until she saw the newly-built, 3,700-square-foot coastal contemporary cottage. “I went home and told my husband, ‘We’re getting a new house,’” Weener says. “And we did! It’s bright and beachy modern—so different from our larger Spanish Colonial revival—and that was the appeal.”

Enter Traci Rhoads, an Atlanta-based designer who had worked on three other homes for the Weeners in Atlanta. “Their Atlanta home was about 10,000 square feet, very formal with crystal chandeliers, dark wood, and deeper colors,” Rhoads says. “This project was way more casual, yet had to have a glam factor, because that’s very Danielle.” above:

The kitchen’s elaborate bead chandelier has inspired the home’s color scheme and echoes the tile colors around the pool. A Roman shade in pale turquoise linen is edged with a burlap brush fringe that Rhoads says “adds a beachy texture.” Brass cabinet hardware lends a restrained modern glamour. Cushy counter stools are covered in outdoor fabric with woven rope backs. below: The Weeners’ goldendoodle, London, poses in the husband’s office in the second-floor loft space. A navy grasscloth paper covers the main wall and accentuates the vaulted ceiling. The gold and crystal cube-shaped chandelier is a cheeky nod to the husband’s love of tequila on the rocks and plays off of the Lucite and brass curtain rod.

“Traci really listens and delivers,” says Danielle. “I trust her, even when I need convincing.”

The two-story home has all the charm of Old Naples architecture— but reinterpreted, with generous proportions and a sleek, open concept interior. The soaring 27-foot high ceilings called for a designer with a precise knowledge of proportions. Since Rhoads always sketches every room with the furniture to scale, the project was well within her skill set. “We went to the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center and Danielle saw a shimmery, three-foot high chandelier in a showroom window,” says Rhoads. “I had to have it,” exclaims Weener (but, keeping scale in mind, Rhoads ordered the five-foot version). That same day they found the dining room table. “Danielle saw it and lost her mind over it,” says Rhoads.

Once the biggest, most impactful pieces were chosen, Rhoads says the rest of the interior fell eff rtlessly into place. The homeowners have kids, dogs, and guests galore—so durable materials and fabrics were a must. “We entertain a lot,” says Weener. “It’s usually cocktails with a few other couples and always big dinners with family, including five kids, since my sister lives nearby.” She adds: “We have food and drinks everywhere. So much of our living [is done] outdoors, where we have about 2,000 square feet.”

The second-floor guest room continues the navy and white notes with crisp white bedding, a geometric wallpaper accent wall, and boldly patterned curtains. The lotus flower chandelier hanging from the vaulted ceiling serves up subtle drama.

right: The master bathroom was warmed up with taupe palm frond wallpaper. A gold leaf and white artichoke chandelier echoes the palm frond motif. Aside from the wood floors, the vanity in this bathroom was the only thing left untouched during the home’s renovation.

below: The outdoor seating surrounding the fireplace was custom-made in London (and took three months to arrive). Crafted out of Iroko wood, the pieces flex with humidity and heat. Rhoads upholstered them in a turquoise fabric that complements the pool tile.

The jumping off point for the downstairs interior’s color scheme came from a photo of a chandelier that Weener had saved for several years. “It’s whimsical, yet elegant with draped strings of wood turquoise beads,” says Rhoads. “It didn’t work in her other homes, but it was the perfect casual glam for this kitchen.”

For Rhoads, that kind of open client communication across projects makes things fun—and successful. “We have a great chemistry,” she says of Weener. “I love that my projects all have things unique to that person’s home. That’s what keeps me so excited going from one project to the next.” right: Soothing earth tones envelop the master suite starting with a custom rug that’s an abstract take on oyster shells. The wallpaper is taupe linen with metallic dots that form a geometric pattern. Rhoads says the hand-carved driftwood and aluminum bed with upholstered headboard is “different, not trendy.” White lacquer bedside tables repeat the vertical lines on the champagne gold sconces. A chunky, braided wool rug anchors the sitting area which opens up to the pool loggia. The chandelier is handblown Murano glass.

THE FABRIC OF OUR LIVES

Interior designer Laura Parsons opted for locally made goods and furnishings, especially in the living room, where the vibrant draperies inspired the color choices on the coffee table, chairs, and accent pillows.

ALM OST TWO DECADES AGO, a N ew York couple was on the hunt for a Florida vacation home. A lot of their friends were doing it, after all, and they figured it would be nice to have a getaway once their three children got married and had kids of their own. In Bonita Springs, a broker showed them a sixteenth-floor condominium with an incredible view and they were instantly sold.

“It was just so beautiful and calm,” said the homeowner, who lives in the two-bedroom residence a few months out of the year. “Over the years, it has really come to feel like home.”

Time certainly flies, and when it does, styles change. As a result, the homeowners decided it was time to refresh their home-away-from-home’s interiors. Their goal? To punch things up with some Palm Beach color, texture, and pattern.

L AURA PARSONS

A NEW YORK COUPLE HANKERS FOR HUES IN THEIR REFRESHED BONITA SPRINGS RETREAT

“Design and decoration is really about creating quality of life and beauty that inspires and nourishes the soul.

It is not about what is in and what is out.” inter ior design L AURA PARSONS, PURE DESIGN OF NAPLES, NAPLES, FL buil der THOMAS LYKOS, THE LYKOS GROUP, NAPLES, FL text PAIGE BOWERS photo gr aphy DANIEL NEWCOMB, JUPITER, FL

After a Google search, the homeowners found and hired interior designer Laura Parsons of Pure Design in Naples to infuse the abode with the bold hues and prints they adore. They started small, just focusing on the master suite. But they liked what Parsons did so much that they asked her to redecorate the rest of the unit.

“I really liked [Parsons’] background, her work, and the fact that she had a small company,” the homeowner says. “There was chemistry there from the moment we first met, so I knew I could above:

Parsons says the couple wanted to maximize space in the breakfast nook, so she created a banquette in the bay window for more seating. It’s a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico.

Two abstract art pieces are the focal point of the dining room, which is a part of the condo’s main living area. Parsons used ombre blue velvet on the banquette to tie the room to the drapery fabric that informs the color scheme.

work with her. She was so warm and welcoming.” The feeling was mutual. “They’re just a joyful, exuberant couple,” Parsons says. “They also adore color, so this project was really about them and their love affair with it.”

Parsons says the story of this reinvigorated space begins with a favorite fabric. “Colorful prints are not for the faint of heart,” she says. “But I showed [the homeowner] this beautiful large floral print that looked like a watercolor painting and [she] loved it so much it became the featured fabric.”

Parsons created draperies from the fabric, using it strategically on cushions throughout the space. For accents, she teased out sunny yellows, vibrant corals, bold reds, and various shades of blues and greens—sourcing pillows, lighting fixtures, wallpaper, artwork, and accessories in those shades. In each room, Parsons mixed these colors in unexpected ways, creating playful spaces that reflect the homeowners’ personality.

Parsons wanted the private elevator foyer to become a welcoming and useful space, so she placed blue cane-backed chairs with the home’s signature fabric and a wicker étagère in the vestibule to give visitors a taste of what’s to come.

Beyond color, a Palm Beach–inspired space calls for textures from natural fibers like grasscloth and jute. Laura fused the condo’s contemporary elements with these organic details, which include the wicker chairs in the breakfast nook to the bamboo-framed mirror in the powder room and the ornate jute rugs.

“When I first told [Parsons] what I was looking for, she just ran with it, and I loved everything she pulled, found, and put together,” the homeowner says. “Everything was elegant, bright, and happy.”

The homeowners loved the end result—a departure from the neutral tones in their New York home—and Parsons says that any time she goes to the house to tweak things, the couple shakes her hand and tells her how appreciative they are for the work she has done.

“We were thrilled with it,” the homeowner says. “And I loved that [Parsons] took care of every last detail, right down to hanging the art and accessorizing the bookshelves.”

The kitchen has a fresh and clean look that’s accented by cobalt blue lighting fixtures over the breakfast bar and a muted blue subway tile backsplash.

The powder room’s decor was built around the wallpaper, which is a pattern of Palm Beach’s Via Mizner. Parsons painted the cabinet the same shade of blue and added bamboo details and plaster sconces for a bit of whimsy.

SURE, NEUTRALS CAN SOOTHE THE SENSES. But sometimes an interior cries out for color. That’s the approach Arlynn McDaniel, senior lead designer at Freestyle Interiors in Bonita Springs, took when she designed this model home at the Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club.

“We all get into a rut with the same color palette. This house screamed for fun, bright colors,” she says.

McDaniel accessorized the home’s clean, neutral background with jolts of lime green, orange, and blue. Model homes aren’t always known for being color-friendly; developers often request design palettes that will appeal to the masses.

Faith Fix_NP61_type in.indd 199

Because the kitchen opens to the great room, the walnut range hood repeats the design of the replace. “It brings balance to the space,” designer Arlynn McDaniel says.

“We’ve done several jobs over the past five or six years with Freestyle Interiors and when they first introduced color, I had to trust them that it would all work,” recalls Matthew Shull, vice president of construction for Gulfshore Homes, the firm that built the home. “I was very nervous.” In the end, both he and the buyers—who purchased the home within a month of its completion—loved it.

Situated on a half-acre lot, the two-story home is across the street from the golf club. It’s also within walking distance to the beach club on the 700-acre freshwater lake that connects with several smaller lakes. “Miromar Lakes is different from every other gated community in the area,” says Faith Fix, owner of Freestyle Interiors. “With its massive lakes, there is a sense of being on a beautiful waterfront property.

It’s a beach feeling in a very friendly community.”

The owners of Miromar Lakes wanted to veer away from traditionally Mediterranean-influenced styles toward a more contemporary design for the model homes in its Ancona neighborhood, says Shull.

Gulfshore integrated modern touches into the 4,427-square-foot Lucien model with architectural above:

Walnut accents in the great room echo the exterior design and warm up the all-white walls and furnishings. Pops of bright colors were strategically designed to be removed if the new owner didn’t like them. “People are sometimes afraid of color and it would be difficult if I put in a red sofa, so I kept it to small accessories,” says McDaniel.

elements, including a cantilevered front entry, walnut panels interspersed on the exterior, and eyebrows over some of the windows. More classic, traditional touches include hip roof lines to complement the contemporary flat style.

“It’s a soft entry into modern,” Shull notes.

McDaniel says she diluted the home’s modern elements—which can sometimes feel cold—with texture, contrasting warm wood with clean porcelain tile. In the great room, the fireplace is constructed of walnut slats.

A similar design is echoed in the kitchen range hood. More touches of walnut in the all-white background are found on the legs of the great room coffee table and in the kitchen and dining tables. “It all comes back to that warmth that wood has,” McDaniel adds.

“I grew up in Florida, so contemporary has always had an appeal for me,” Fix says. “Modern gets a bad rap as not being warm, but what I love about this house is that the touches of wood give an organic, textural feel that make it inviting.”

As for the bright colors McDaniel wanted to incorporate? “I said ‘go for it,’” she says. “We were very clear that the colors were in accessories that could be moved out if the new owners didn’t like it, but it turned out they loved it.” McDaniel says she looks forward to incorporating more color in her designs. “It just makes people smile.”

The outdoor living area’s undercover sitting area overlooks the pool. McDaniel placed a contemporary white sofa in the space and created the wall art from stucco and floral metal sculptures that she painted white. The round table is a propane fire pit that can be picked up and moved to another location.

The wet bar in the dining area is walnut, with two wine refrigerators flanking a sink and storage cabinets. It serves a dual purpose as wine bar and buffet.

right: The dining table is walnut and the horizontal wood light fixture above the table reflects the eyebrows over the exterior and interior windows. The large porcelain tiles throughout the great room and dining room look similar to concrete, giving the floors an industrial feel.

Sometimes an open floor plan can be too open. That was interior designer Michael Dawkins’ challenge on what he calls “a dream project” in Miami: to carve out a cozy bar and TV area within the home’s vast living room. “We rearranged the floor plan to create a room within a room by using custom glass-and-steel-framed pocket doors to divide the areas visually,” he says. See the full story in Florida Design’s Miami Edition, coming in November 2021, or visit floridadesign.com.
