EDITOR’S NOTE

The Comforts of Home Decorated rooms—and the designers who create them—have long suffered the reputation of extolling style at the expense of comfort. We have all seen rooms that look amazing, but would we really want to live in them? Well, times have changed. These days when I ask designers “What tops your clients’ must-have lists?” nine out of ten answer, “Comfort.” Dispelling the outdated dichotomy, these pros respond with engaging spaces designed to be lived in, not to just look good. The rooms are meant to be shared, not just shown off. Homes featured in the following pages reflect this approach and showcase many stylish ways to infuse comfort into most any space.

In Sandy, design pros transformed an outdated Tuscan-style house into an amalgam of classic details and relaxed-yet-refined charm. In Park City, a talented team used natural materials and organic elements to connect the home’s striking architecture and feel-good rooms to its scenic mountain setting. In Lehi, interior designer Al-

lison Campbell layered her clients’ modern abode with warm neutrals and laid-back luxury that belie its contemporary leanings.

On a smaller scale, a chic playroom by Aubrey Smith invites kids to curl up on deep window seats, climb into snug bunks and sway on pillowed swings. Designer Gregg Hodson proves comfy quarters and big livability can stylishly coexist with a 468 square-foot St. George casita, and imaginative pros across the state infuse showers with splashy design that takes rinse rooms far beyond their practical purpose.

The following pages prove that today’s compelling spaces are about more than just style; we just need to get comfortable with it.

GOING PLACES

HIGH-DESERT CHIC OUR VOTE FOR the sexiest new resort in Sedona goes to Ambient, a “Landscape Hotel‘’ uniquely designed to meld with its environment and highlight its landscape of piñon pines, natural washes and red rock formations. Just minutes away from the heart of Sedona, Ambient feels lost in the middle of Arizona’s high desert. The sanctuary boasts 40

individual, cube-shaped glass suites (called atriums) that are built on stilts and strategically scattered across the site to adapt to, rather than disrupt the natural topography. An assortment of moody, minimalist décors dramatically swathed in rich earth tones soothe guests while panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows create the illusion of being in, rather

than merely observing, the surrounding red rocks, running creeks and Coconino National Forest. On-site offerings­­­including the stylish Forty1 restaurant, a three-room spa named Velvet and an assortment of posh amenities elevate the lux experience and exclusivity of the restorative, adults-only resort. Rooms start at $1,800/night. ambientsedona.com

LOVE THE LOOK

If a vacay to Ambient isn’t currently in your cards, create its chic, natureinspired style at home.

URBAN HILL LOCATED IN SALT LAKE CITY’S reimagined Post District, the new Urban Hill restaurant is the brainchild of the local owners of Park City’s much lauded Hearth and Hill restaurant and Hill’s Kitchen cafe and catering. Designed by Denver architectural firm Semple Brown, the upscale eatery is fashioned to make every visit a special occasion elevated by a sophisticated, approachable décor, wood-fired grill, oyster bar, and lux lounge and dining areas, indoors and out. This feast for the eyes is second only to the restaurant’s American and international regional cuisine. Chef Nick Zocco, recently from Park City’s Tupelo, leads the culinary charge with a seafoodforward menu and southwestern flavors peppered throughout.

Desserts by Executive Pastry Chef Jessie Rae Nakoneczny promise a memorable finish for any meal.

A Place at the Table Special gatherings deserve special table settings. Deliver springtime blooms with Edelweiss canvas cotton placemats and matching 16-inch square napkins.

ALL SEWN UP THE UNIQUE pillows sold by Principal Design Company nods to founder Hannah Olague’s fascination with fabrics, old and new. It includes one-of-a-kinds, fashioned from cast-off showroom samples destined for the trash heap, passionately repurposed and styled into posh pillows. “The fabrics range from Ralph Lauren to Zak + Fox,” says Olague, who sells pieces online and in pop-ups around Salt Lake City. Olague studied surface and textile design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, worked with a home products company in New York City and then an interior designer in Washington DC—all this before returning home to work with Utah’s design community and launching Principal. Today, her offerings include upcycled pieces as well as collaborative collections and a shop crafting custom pillows. “Pillows are a finishing touch that add to the livability of a space,” Olague says. Additional soft goods and home products round out Principal’s ever-evolving selection. shopprincipal.com

BIG IDEAS FOR SMALL LIVING

In the hands of designer Gregg Hodson, this compact casita proves that smart design can make small spaces look and live big.

hether it’s a little bungalow, a cramped condo or even a pint-sized room, small quarters require savvy design to make them live big. That certainly held true for this 468-square-foot casita of a Kayenta home in Ivins. Tasked with making the most of its tight space, designer Gregg Hodson employed a number of clever strategies that deliver maximum style to the dwelling’s minimal footprint.

SET YOUR STYLE FROM THE START “You have to remain very focused and disciplined when working with small spaces,” Hodson says. “Establishing this guest quarter’s style from the get-go enabled successful decisions and selections.”

The designer created a contemporary, midcentury-inspired décor for the main house and continued it inside the casita. “We wanted to create a seamless look and feel across the project.” His design ABOVE: Designer Gregg Hodson created a screen to form a small entry off the living area. A floating shelf performs as a console beneath the TV and shadeless pharmacy lamps provide light and style without bulk. Clean-lined furniture, large framed art and minimal accessories add color and character without clutter.

LEFT: The kitchen’s floor-to-ceiling pantry provides lots of storage using minimal floor space. Open shelves keep the space open and airy. Understated midcenturyinspired tile provides pattern to the backsplash without overwhelming the space.

OPPOSITE: Beneath a Nelson bubble lamp, two shell chairs and a small Eames table deliver maximum style and functionality using minimum space. Ceiling pockets conceal roller blinds. Furnishings from Henriksen Butler.

FAR LEFT: The shower’s wall-to-wall glass enclosure, small skylight, curbless entry and simply tiled back wall make the small bathroom feel spacious. The streamlined vanity and largescale wall tiles do the same.

“It keeps this space open and airy,” he explains.

Hodson focused on the functions of the casita —relaxing, eating, sleeping, bathing—and then identified zones in the main living area that cater to these activities. “Decoratively delineating zones makes the overall space feel more interesting and spacious,” says Hodson, who erected a slatted wood wall to form an entry and then used furniture, rugs and art to subtly demarcate the open room’s living areas.

GO NEUTRAL Scored concrete floors and walls painted in Benjamin Moore’s White Sand flow seamlessly throughout the casita, creating a continuous, neutral backdrop for Hodson’s edited palette of classic walnut, light oak and curated textiles. “You want to establish a lighter-toned canvas to make the space feel more spacious and then add hits of color with accents and art,” the designer explains.

CHOOSE BIG AND FEWER FURNISHINGS (AND THINK MULTI-FUNCTION) “Start with your large pieces and build around them,” advises Hodson, who anchored the open living area with a clean-lined tuxedo sofa. “It’s large but not bulky,” he says. The main rug is large enough for most of the furniture to sit on it and, unlike a bunch of smaller rugs, it doesn’t clutter the scene. Large art creates a presence, as well. “Itsy pieces make a small space feel junky unless you group them as a single focal point,” Hodson adds.

Once his larger pieces were in place, the designer added

Every inch counts and every element has to earn its place.”

smaller pieces that don’t litter the space, including small side tables, shadeless floor lamps and a compact table and chairs. Doing double duty, the sofa opens to a bed, benches and ottomans serve as both tables and seats, and the Eames table and two shell chairs function as a charming dining spot, as well as a desk and game table.

LET IT BREATHE Banishing bulk, Hodson installed a floating 7-inch deep shelf that serves as a shallow console below the T.V. “It lets the space breathe,” he says. So too do open shelves in the kitchenette. “Upper cabinets would have been way too heavy.” The designer also chose the leggy Eames table and shell chairs, shadeless floor lamps and the entry’s slatted screen to promote an open feel. The same goes for the shower’s glass enclosure and ceiling pockets that conceal roller blinds above the windows.

CREATE CLEVER STORAGE Custom built-ins elevate the casita’s style and usable space. Hodson transformed the bedroom’s headboard wall with bespoke cabinetry defined by a ceiling-height light bridge linking two towers framing the bed, each equipped with concealed, hanging storage, drawers and an inset nightstand. “This is the room’s only storage, so it had to be smart,” he says. In the kitchen, a wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinets provides loads of storage. And because these are vertical and built in, they don’t consume as much valuable square footage.

Minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, a newly remastered backyard garden has been transformed into a planting oasis, beginning with a series of flowing patios used for outdoor lounging.

ere blocks from Salt Lake’s 9th and 9th district sits a historic barn-style home fronting a flourishing secret out back: a sloped, half-acre englishstyle garden rich with modern twists and engaging spaces.

The property’s landscape project began in 2020, after several years of renovations to its 1922 home by homeowners Brittan Browning and her husband. With the house revamp complete, Browning tapped landscape architect Seth Bockholt to transform her overgrown garden into a functional Eden, maximizing the use of every inch of space to help her business, Gilmer Farms, to thrive. Browning relies on flower beds, raised planters and a potager garden to produce cut flowers and fruit for jams, all sold

S P R I N G 2 0 2 3 | U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N

through Gilmer Farms to customers who relish these simpler things in life.

Behind the home, Bockholt created an oasis of interconnected gardens, paths and surprising destinations at every turn. He began by establishing sightlines that guide the eye through the garden, making the backyard feel larger than its half-acre reality. “Throughout the design, the existing trees act as primary visual cues that inform the procession through each pathway,” says Bockholt, who was determined to avoid straight lines.

“This design is more about feng shui and natural balance than perfect alignments and geography.”

As part of that natural balance, Bockholt employed touches of biophilic design, or design inspired by natural forms, throughout the landscape. “In this case,

60 U T A H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 3

we were inspired by the spirals and waves of the nautilus shell,” Bockholt says. “Both patios are rounded shapes to reflect that form, and we used curved steel ribbons as retaining walls to keep the design really soft and flowing.”

That easy flow continues through a composition of paths leading visitors to a number of unique features.

Crossing over tiny bridges and spans of lawn, a curving path lures visitors to the bottom of the sloped property, where a greenhouse and potager garden are filled to the brim with seedlings. In the lower corner, a custom duck shelter nestles among raised planting beds. Across the yard, secluded benches entice wanderers to sit and enjoy the serene sounds of water moving through a wooden aqueduct and water wheel.

FAR LEFT: Steel ribbon retaining walls serve several purposes: delineating various planting beds, managing the steep grade and offering a visual reminder of the design’s biophilic elements.

FRESH CUT At Gilmer Farms, one of Brittan Browning’s favorite ways to inspire connection is by hosting floral arrangement workshops in the garden. To do so, she needs an abundance of blooms. “For annual cut flowers, we love ‘cut and come again,’ blooms, or varieties that you can cut all season and they continue to bloom,” she says. Tops among her garden’s “most bang for your floral buck” varieties include:

1. Cosmos / Drought and heat tolerant, they have the beauty and grace of a ballerina. Cosmos thrive from frequent trimming, and continuously bloom from mid-summer to frost.

2. Zinnia / Native to Central America, Zinnias come in hundreds of varieties to complement any landscape. These large-headed blooms are a breeze to grow from seed, and the open flower shape attracts pollinators of all kinds to help your garden flourish.

3. Sunflower /

While the giant single-headed variety is always a delight, look for branching varieties for a robust garden. Smaller sunflowers are ideal for beautifully balanced bouquets.

4. Snapdragons / These tall blossoms are a bit more challenging to start from seed, but the final result is well worth the effort. Browning recommends using a seed tray with seeds layered between potting mix, submerged in a tray of water. Once the seeds germinate into twoleaved sprouts, they can be transferred to larger containers to grow until ready for bed placement.

ABOVE: Wood-plank bridges set over the garden rill begin a collection of paths leading to destinations around the property.

LEFT: “We tried to blur some of the lines of what defines a traditional planting bed,” Bockholt says. “We put in the main perennials based on drainage, sun exposure and visuals, but the rest of the beds were open for Brittan to rotate and fill in annually.”

OPPOSITE CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: A blue atlas cedar roots behind a stone fireplace, creating an alignment with the cistern at the bottom of the property.

A 2,500-gallon cistern at the base of the property feeds the irrigation to the main lawn and drains into the indoor duck shelter, which is engineered to flush nightly and flood the lower trees and beds with nitrogen-rich water.

A wooden aqueduct and water wheel carry spring water down the garden’s southern border to the cistern.

This aqueduct was just one method of tackling the biggest challenge of this project: management of the water fed by the property’s natural spring. The final design reveals a true feat of engineering–or the lack thereof.

“There are no pumps in this system,” says Bockholt, describing his innovative, time-honored solution. “We had to find a way to create pressure in the pipes simply using the topography of the property.”

With a bit of mathematical ingenuity, the Bockholt team found the perfect balance. The small spring enters the side of the Gilmer farms property, where it begins its journey across the garden, flowing naturally through cascading waterfall stairs, riverstone-paved rills and shimmering ponds with fountains that run entirely on gravity flow.

To this day, the property is continuously evolving as a labor of love, with frequent updates from its passionate homeowners. “It can get overwhelming and very expensive to maintain a garden on this scale if you aren’t involved hands-on,” Bockholt explains. “It takes a certain type of person, and Brittan was the perfect client for this kind of endeavor. She is the key to this garden’s whole success.”

hen youngsters Gatsby and Jazz Maddocks are sent to their room—or playroom, to be exact—you won’t hear any moaning or groaning. Whoopees are more likely. That’s no surprise, given that the funfilled space was created by designer Aubrey Smith, who collaborated on the project with mom JessaKae Maddocks, CEO and Creative Director of fashion label JessaKae. “Colorful and somewhere the imagination can run free,” says JessaKae, explaining what she wanted for the space. The same words could be used to describe the inclusive clothing line she designs. “Her style and aesthetic is fun and youthful, and she loves color and patterns,” says Smith, principal of Aubrey Veva Design. She used her client’s joyful character to inspire her design.

The playroom began as an empty, over-thegarage space with no purpose. But parents JessaKae and Jordan hatched a plan. “We realized that we didn’t have any super fun kids-only spaces,” JessaKae says. So they let their imaginations run free and decided on a playroom with must-have bunk beds, a swing, a fort and slide. “Our kids’ favorite things all in one space,” she explains. To integrate these features and more, Smith functionally divided the space into activity-driven zones.

Smith began with a play area that welcomes visitors into the open, 800-square-foot room. It features a slide, fort-like loft and hidden storage below. A creativity-focused craft area follows, with its hanging chairs and a round work table teamed with small chairs. “It’s a magical area where they can be creative and learn on their own,” the designer says.

Nearby, large window seats serve as lightfilled reading nooks. Stylish wardrobes anchor the adjoining storage area and, toward the back of the space, two sets of cleverly designed bunks furnish the sleeping zone. “From the beginning, you have to think of the space as a whole, identify each functional area and then

The playroom occupies roughly 800 square feet above the home’s three-car garage. Sloped rooflines inform the room’s uniquely angled ceiling, and large dormer windows flood the space with light. Designer Aubrey Smith painted the ceiling sky blue and animated the entire space with Pride Palms wallpaper from Rebel Walls.

(AWESOME)

When JessaKae and Jordan Maddocks decided to turn an over-the-garage area into a kids’ playroom, they turned to designer Aubrey Smith to go all-out as she fashioned the space with color, character and, of course, fun.

integrate practicality into each of them,” Smith explains. “Yes, beautiful design can include practicality.”

Because the parents wanted a playroom their kids could grow up in, Smith rejected anything overtly juvenile or sweet. The Maddockses also favored a gender-neutral palette with no trace of conventional girly pink or boyish navy. With her client’s love for lively colors in mind, Smith began with primary orange and blue then conjured toned-down shades that are playful but not

ROOM TO GROW Forget superheroes, hot air balloons and other juvenile patterns. For kids’ spaces, designer Aubrey Smith suggests more grown-up wallpapers that are dazzling and unique, and that also remain appropriate as children age.

MURAL I love a mural paper because it tells a story as soon as you step into the room. It takes your eye on a journey, and brings so much interest to the space. Shaded Landscape Mural by A New Wall.

FLORAL You can ever go wrong with floral papers; They are timeless and classy, and they add life to a room. They can also be gender neutral.

Hollyhocks from House of Hackney.

GEOMETRIC I like using geometric patterns in a modern or more contemporary home, making the children’s space flow with the rest of the décor. These edgy patterns give a room some pow. Onyx Rock from Drop It Modern.

TEXTURED I’m currently loving textured papers. There are so many beautiful types of grasscloth; they add that extra layer of detail and dimension to a room. Textured Check from Schumacher.

predictable. Think tangerine and slate blue. “These colors play well together and are unique,” the designer says. So too is her choice of a soft-toned wallpaper that wraps the space in an enchanting jungle scene. It’s pretty, of course, but also pragmatic. “The pattern won’t have to be replaced as the kids grow older,” says Smith, who also chose cushy Berber carpeting, bunk steps (rather than ladders), easycare performance fabrics and no-fuss finishes for their practicality.

But Smith didn’t allow sensibility to overshadow the room’s fanciful style.

Hanging from a sky-blue ceiling, rose-gold disco balls and puffy cloud lights delight the space with their surprising forms.

Nearby, vivid velvet curtains drape the cocoon-like bunks in luxury. “The Maddockses like beautiful things, and nothing is too precious for their boys,” says Smith, who also chose high-end fabrics for a mix of custom pillows that animate the décor.

The designer customized tall blue cabinets with shapely arched doors and cleverly painted their interiors with, you guessed it, delicious tangerine. Adorning the walls, whimsical stuffed animal heads and framed drawings of the boys also charm the space. “I’m a sucker for a layered look,” Smith says. “More is more.”

JessaKae and Jordan kept the playroom project a secret from their boys until it was complete. When Gatsby and Jazz first saw it, “their eyes lit up,” Mom recalls. “There were a lot of ‘wows ‘and ‘whoas,’” she says.

Understandably, the room elicits much the same reaction from nearly everyone who visits its awesome space.

Reeded panels, velvet draperies and individual sconces detail the room’s cocoon-like bunks.

Shades by Uptown Drapes pair with custom pillows to create a frolicking mix of patterns for one of the room’s two window seats.

Smith chose stairs as a safe way for the kids to access the room’s raised fort and double bunks.

Cloud pendant lights from Pottery Barn Kids team with mirrored disco balls from Event Decor Direct to create a magical focal point floating high above the room.

Smith designed the two sets of bunks to fit the room’s angled ceiling and take advantage of light flowing through a large window.

Open shelves allow the boys to grab their favorite books and toys with ease.

“We do our own importing and work closely with other vendors who source from the same factories to ensure amazing quality control,” says Adam Clough, CEO. “Our product lines are always evolving.”

That means the options are endless.

“Use beautiful and unique tile as a centerpiece and build your design from there,” suggests Mike Brown, CFO.

ANTHONY'S ANTIQUE & ART MANY PEOPLE EXPLORED new hobbies during the pandemic which enhanced their appreciation of fine craftsmanship. So, if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind heirloom for your home, visit Anthony’s Fine Art & Antiques.

Founded nearly 40 years ago by Anthony Christensen, this antique store—housed in a historic church—deals in stories. You are truly in expert hands. The team was trained in London by Sotheby’s Auction House and founders of the Antiques Roadshow, so they have a keen eye for value and can help identify collectibles, art and antiques.

“We buy European, American and Asian museum-quality fine art, furniture and decorative works by traditional and royal craftspeople from the past

400 years,” says owner Micah Christensen. “We work with people locally and nationally to donate works to museums, universities and important collections around the world.”

Dr. Micah Christensen co-authored the Dictionary of Utah Fine Artists, detailing the work and biographies of 4,500 local painters and sculptors.

“We have perhaps the largest collection of works by historic and important contemporary artists in the state right now,” he says.

“Between the 25,000 square-foot gallery and a 20,000-square-foot warehouse, supply chain issues do not exist for us,” says Christensen. “All of our pieces are here, ready to be installed.”

MICAH CHRISTENSEN / OWNER

“Fine antiques are more affordable than you imagine. We often sell functional, beautiful, 200-year-old furniture made from French walnut by an artisan for less than something made of particle board and sold under a brand name costs.”

Bartile is a local, family-owned business that’s been perfecting the art of premium roof tiles since 1942. Incombustible, Bartile roof tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating and have a 75-year warranty.

Some styles even have a class-4 hail rating.

Want a shake or slate tile that looks like the real thing but will last more than 75 years and

without the fire hazard or maintenance issues?

Check out Bartile’s incredible selection. “With our gable options, designers and homeowners can create a true shake or slate roof at a fraction of the price,” says Evans.

In addition to manufacturing the tiles, they also provide expert installation services in Northern Utah. Bartile roof tiles are made locally and designed to withstand Utah’s harsh climate and freeze and thaw cycles. “You can save as much as 200% when you compare the cost of replacing your asphalt roof every 20 years,” says Evans.

“Some of the first roofs we installed are still holding up; I have stood on roofs installed in 1942. Our biggest design secret is endurance—that’s why we offer a 75-year warranty.”

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD We’re partnering with Powder Watts to help people save a huge chunk on heating cable bills. Powder Watts offers a smart camera that can be mounted on the roof and watch for ice and snow build up, so it keeps your heating cable off until you need it. Some power companies are offering huge rebates to offset installation costs.

EXCITED ABOUT The darkest black tile. It’s our top seller. We start with black tile and then add jet black acrylic enamel on top for a dramatic effect. The paint will last 20 years, and the black color-through concrete tile underneath will last another 60 to 70 years.

FRESH IDEAS To add depth and dimension, opt for a multi-colored roof. We take different color batches of tiles and blend them into a really interesting and beautiful palette. We can match clay roofs that have drastic color ranges, so you can create something beautiful, unique and durable—and more affordable.

HELM THE POST-PANDEMIC WORLD is upon us.

After a period of rediscovering the outside world, we’re remembering what we loved about being home—having a personal sanctuary. For many people, that means revisiting their design style and furnishing choices with a renewed emphasis on cozy relaxation.

Comfort is making a comeback. “As designers and homeowners create spaces that reflect our return to optional and occasional reclusiveness, they’re striking an impressive balance between comfort and elevated luxury,” says Tammy Petty, interior designer. “In many cases, that means more cushions, more curved lines and more plush fabrics. From pillowy sofas to soft headboards, every piece should invite a feeling of tranquility.”

CHRIS ROSS, OWNER/PRESIDENT

Start by adding sanctuary pieces—furniture and accessories that might be found at a high-end spa. “From coffee tables and counter stools to headboards and hutches, consider incorporating pieces made of natural stones and warm woods to invite that sense of serenity,” says Deb Nielsen interior designer.

Helm furnishes Utah’s finest homes. The careful craftsmanship of these pieces, hand-picked and placed by professional designers, enhances high-end homes while helping homeowners find their unique style. Helm understands and appreciates the value of an experienced, artistic eye and has established a program offering significant benefits to professional designers, decorators and homebuilders across the state.

“Our secret is in our selection. With direct access to furniture from the best luxury brands— including Baker, Century, Bernhardt, Hickory Chair, Lexington, Massoud and many more—Helm can help anyone find the perfect pieces to fit in a newly decorated room or to fill a whole home.”

INSIDE OUT ARCHITECTURALS A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA and emphasis on environmental sustainability have many people tweaking historical materials and concepts to renew them back to their original glory. “Gorgeous old homes are getting modernized,” says Leah Wynn, owner. “And that means either restoring existing elements or using something new that is aligned with the integrity of the original architecture.”

Leah Wynn, with team Anna Ayala, Lance Brimhall and Tara Thomas, can help you creatively identify and define functional spaces and then personalize and beautify them.

For centuries, successful builders and architects have dared to use design elements differently, creat-

ing new standards and opening the door for further evolution. “We are fortunate to live in a time when technology and creativity merge to create more comfortable, functional and creative spaces,” Wynn says. “Inside Out Architecturals provides a variety of materials to create an environment customized for every individual.”

Representing more than 50 unique decorative tile lines, Inside Out Architecturals boasts an intriguing collection of tile options, from one-ofa-kind stones and large-format glass to enduring traditional flooring and historical ornamentals.

“We carry the handiwork of today’s artisans in metal and ceramic tile, glass, leather and dimensional tile that are best described as art,” Wynn explains.

“All the updated manufacturing processes and new digital printing capabilities let us customize tile in every way imaginable. We can replicate wood, feathers and even add a photo on tile now. We work with local artisans to tailor each project to you—down to the smallest detail."

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD Patterns are making a comeback. You’ll see patterns everywhere, even on penny tiles. Think wallpaper on tile. Penny tiles with multiple hexagon rings add depth.

Also, metallic sheens; glass-mixed mosaics and large-format porcelain tiles with an iridescent sheen all add instant glamor.

EXCITED ABOUT Black-and-white checkerboard flooring is all the rage. Starting in the late 1680s, a black-and-white floor made its first splash on the queen’s staircase in Versailles. Since then, this classic, dramatic look has been revisited. Now, it’s back in porcelain tiles.

FRESH IDEAS Show your age: Round, tumbled edges give tiles an aged look, and tumbled brick floor tiles have a rustic appeal.

During the Tuscan trend, many people installed travertine stone tiles. As they refresh their homes today, they’re incorporating a warm color palette to blend in with the existing travertine while giving the space a new vibe.

"We listen to clients' needs and desires, and have a broad awareness of sources and products. We seamlessly stitch these together with amazing results. I am creative, adaptable and flexible, and that helps me flow through the design process easily and find a way to materialize each client's desire."

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD Digital art is gaining traction as a valued medium. How we can communicate spaces digitally is incredible and it’s informing architecture in a way that’s never been possible before. People are so exposed to online content that they’re elevating their expectations of interiors. What people are willing to take on and try on is so cool.

EXCITED ABOUT We love fun, dynamic details. Passementerie trim décor elements are so in vogue right now even in modern, minimalist interiors. For example, we’re doing long flapper fringe on a sofa, eyelash welting or tightly constructed leather cording on upholstered goods that are layered in new, unexpected ways. We’re also seeing fresh takes on 1970s, post-expressionist abstracts in textiles.

FRESH IDEAS We do a lot of architectural accent lighting that contours the home in such a way that it feels multi-layered and gives it more depth perception. For example, installing lighting under stairs, multi-floor light fixtures, light troughs in tray ceilings or feature walls and back-lighting stone. When you employ lighting as a contouring tool, it accentuates the best features. It’s like a sculpting highlighter through your home.

TINA PIGNATELLI AND MELISSA O’BRIEN / CO-OWNERS

“Be bold. Switch out the pillows. Buy a fun throw.

Change hardware. Paint a piece. If you don’t like it, consign it and start over. Take chances. At a more competitive price point than exclusively new furniture, it’s easier to try something out of your comfort zone.”

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD Consignment shops were the unintended beneficiaries of the supply chain crisis. Rather than ordering something online and hoping it’s what you still want when it finally arrives, come in and see it, touch, sit on it, measure it and experience it before you make a decision.

We’re committed to bringing novel and exciting products to the shop. We’re so lucky to have incredible consignors that bring unique and varied pieces.

The surprise of what might come in the door next is always exciting for us.

Twenty years ago, Tuscan style was having a heyday, seducing the design world with its dark, heavy woodwork, rich colors and ornate flourishes at every turn. The old-world style spoke to a couple building a new house in Sandy, so they hired Tri City Construction and Lucca Design to fashion an Italian-inspired home in the exclusive Pepperwood community. Two decades later, the homeowners decided to teach their residence a new language, and they enthusiastically turned to the same team of pros to help them do exactly that.

“Their home was majestic with its alder cabinetry and finish work, oil rubbed bronze fixtures, travertine floors, granite countertops and rich finishes,” recalls designer Heidi Stewart, principal of Lucca Design. But the owners had had enough of their dark and heavy décor and envisioned something more transitional. “I loved the Tuscan style, but we were ready for a change with lighter colors and woods,” the wife explains. Initially, the plan included fresh paint here and a new fixture there, but it quickly morphed into an extensive remodel with the team taking almost everything down to the studs. “To get this job done right, we knew the first step was a drastic demo that would give us a fresh slate to work with,” says Stewart, who was joined by fellow designers Kaycee Metekingi and Brooke Cude to team with Tri City Construction to reimagine the residence.

The pros began by simplifying the architecture, removing walls that interrupted flow, squaring off archways, eliminating niches and ousting dark woodwork. They also replaced travertine flooring with cathedral-cut white oak and ditched faux-finished walls, gracing their replacements with custom paneling, exquisite finish work and a paint palette of warm neutral tones and textured wall coverings.

“We maintained the same level of detail in the home but with a more transitional edge,” Cude says.

TOP LEFT: Satin brass fixtures, a quartzite countertop and a floralprinted Fabricut grasscloth wallpaper deliver elevated style to the powder room.

BOTTOM LEFT: In the revamped hallway, crown molding and recessed lighting adorn a tray ceiling. Below, the herringbone-patterned oak floor promotes a subtle sense of movement in the space.

OPPOSITE: The dining room opens to the entry and main hallway. To give the space its own identity, the designers painted the wainscot with Sherwin-Williams’ Gateway Gray and repeated the color on new overhead beams. Grasscloth wallpaper delivers warmth and texture to reimagined space.

In the entry, for example, creamy white walls adorned with custom panels and reeded detailing hug a curved staircase flaunting freshly fashioned metal railings and a voguish speckled runner. In the nearby dining room, wainscoting and a simplified coffered ceiling—both painted warm gray—join grasscloth wallcovering to deliver an updated statement of formal sophistication and transitional style. Stewart explains, “This is a great example of classic traditional elements done in a modernized way.”

The wife’s decidedly feminine office oozes chic, with its chevron patterned oak floors, beamed wood ceiling and classic wall panels dressed in pale gray. “It’s a great place to relax and an even better place to work,” she says. Custom paneling recurs in the tranquil primary bedroom, where it dresses the headboard and fireplace walls with a unique motif echoed by the new oak beams of a ceiling lowered “to make the room more comfortable and cozy,” Metekingi says.

In the primary bedroom, repeated custom paneling marries the fireplace to the room’s headboard wall.

Custom cut tiles in the primary bathroom create a lively pattern for the floor. The previous bulky undermount tub surrounded by tiled steps was removed in favor of a stylish freestanding bathtub, creating an updated look with an open and airy feel.

To make the primary bedroom feel cozier and more comfortable, the team eliminated a vaulted ceiling and installed lower white oak beams in a pattern that mimics that of the wall panels.

The hub of the home presents the most dramatic revision. “Interior design has changed drastically over the years since the Tuscan era, especially when it comes to the kitchen,” Stewart explains.

To create a blank canvas with which to work, the team removed gratuitous walls and flooring transitions, as well as a mass of heavily carved cabinets, two-level countertops, busy granite and elaborate embellishments. The overhaul went far beyond aesthetics to include functional changes that drove an open-concept kitchen that includes a butler’s pantry, multiple islands, creatively hidden appliances and open shelves. Today, the family gathers in the freshly conceived space elegantly outfitted with a tongue-and-groove ceiling, white oak and painted cabinetry, understated plaster hood, quartzite countertops and a pair of oversized brass dome pendant lights. The transformed room opens to a casual dining area and relaxed family room. “Today’s kitchens double as entertainment areas, so you have to make them spacious and welcoming,” Cude says.

OPPOSITE CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: The remodeled mudroom was designed with dogs in mind. A reimagined bench houses cubbies for dog beds replete with a work surface above.

Throughout the home, the team replaced heavy dark wood with white oak to promote a lighter, transitional style that begins with the front doors and detail-rich entry.

Sage green cabinetry and a patterned floor enliven the laundry room equipped with stacked appliances, a steamer closet, a custom drying rack/ironing board and open shelving for rolling hampers.

Reeded panels add a custom detail that enriches the interior’s white oak doors.

Of course, Stewart explains, the recast home isn’t without its surprises. The overhauled mudroom, for example, now doubles as a dog room with bed cubbies integrated into custom cabinetry, a treat-throwing machine and a Dutch door featuring a see-through grid in its lower half. “Now the dogs can watch the owners’ activities without always being part of them,” Metekingi says. A dressed-up laundry room—furnished with richly painted cabinetry and function-forward amenities—makes the most out of mundane chores, and a cleverly orchestrated bunk room hosts two double bunk beds, a play area and plenty of storage to serve visiting grandkids.

Saying “arrivederci” to their old Tuscan style, the owners relish their newly reimagined residence and praise the entire design team for creating a comforting environment that is timelessly transitional and loaded with delightful details. The wife says it simply, “Tri City Construction and Lucca Design did all the work and we get the benefit of living in this beautiful home.”

Call it a point of view. When a couple decided to build their family home in Lehi, they envisioned a house that makes the most of its scenic property by capturing the surrounding mountain and valley vistas. “They wanted to celebrate the setting, indoors and out, ” says interior designer Allison Campbell, who teamed with architectural designer Bryson Carrick to satisfy their clients' wants—and then some.

The owners craved a clean-lined, contemporary style for their new home, but a minimalist glass box was not an option. “They are such warm, inviting people that we knew a cold, sterile house would be wrong,” Campbell explains. Instead, the architecture's simple lines and walls of windows enclose an open, flowing floor plan designed to accommodate one-level living in absolute comfort. “It's really a rambler

with main living on the upper floor and secondary spaces downstairs,” she adds.

When guests enter the large, pivot-hinged front door, they're greeted by a spacious entry and a great room opened with expansive walls of floor-to-ceiling windows. A mix of soothing tones and natural materials complement, rather than compete with, breathtaking views of the natural landscape and valley beyond.

But the abundant windows present a challenge. “You have to fight to keep a home with open spaces and lots of glass from feeling cold,” Campbell explains. With that in mind, she selected Sherwin-Williams Solstice for the walls. “It looks white, but it has more color and is warmer.” The designer also chose medium-toned, white oak floors to help prevent an ambient chill. Elements of stone, dark-hued plaster and layers of texture do the same, explains Campbell, who also composed a color palette teaming with tones of cream, putty, camel, buff and warm gray. “It’s neutral but definitely not boring,” she says.

Not one to shy away from statement-making drama, Campbell clad the great room's enormous fireplace with darker plaster and paired its oversized firebox with an asymmetrical hearth and mantel crafted from quartzite. “The large scale suits the space and the offbalance design adds contemporary flair,” the designer explains. Across the room, a floating steel staircase featuring thick, white oak treads performs like a functional sculpture enclosed by glass railings and a twostory wall of limestone-finished box panels. A dazzling multi-pendant chandelier hangs from above. “The composition is truly a work of art,” Campbell says.

Statement-making features continue in the kitchen, where an expansive above-the-sink window invites views and natural light to flood the space. Dark quartzite countertops add visual weight as does the

Grasscloth wallpaper and a floor-to-ceiling window compose a compelling backdrop for a concrete tub framed by waterfall-style vanities.

Concrete floors ground the lower level great room. In place of a large fireplace, the team fashioned a feature wall designed with cut-out storage cubbies. Clad in one-inch, white oak slats, the feature is flanked by open shelves and benches, expanding its width and functionality.

range hood, plastered mid-gray to match the fireplace across the room. “The hood and fireplace wall are like bookends that balance the open great room,” Campbell says. Making a strategic move, the designer hung the kitchen's traditional pendant lights near the back wall rather than above the island to prevent them from visually fighting with the “uber contemporary” fixture above the nearby dining table. Predictable matching has no place here. “Mixing and layering different styles and materials adds longevity to a home's design,” Campbell explains.

The most luxurious layering resides in the primary suite. With its large windows draped in velvet, its dropped ceiling dressed with grasscloth and its fireplace clad with plaster, the bedroom is a sanctuary filled with soothing tones, rich textures

and sumptuous fabrics that include relaxed linens, plush velvets and posh wovens. “The bedroom should be, and is, an escape from reality,” Campbell contends. The same holds true of the bathroom, where broad windows and grasscloth-covered walls serve as an engaging backdrop for a shapely concrete tub, waterfall-style vanities and mirrormounted faucets.

Throughout the house, the designer masterfully repeated elements from her edited palettes of materials and colors, using them in varied ways and volumes, space to space. “Consistency is key to creating a sense of continuity and comfort,” she explains. And given the carefully curated spaces that flow throughout this home, another source of compelling contemporary style and laid-back luxury waits just around the corner.

Utah’s mountains are just as spectacular in the design they inspire as they are astonishing in their natural beauty. Spending much of their time in Scottsdale, the owners of this Park City residence strongly considered the setting as they pulled together ideas about the look and feel they wanted for their new mountain home located in the tony Glenwild community. Enter JSARC Architects, Beck & Engle Design and J. Ford Construction. This team of pros consulted closely with the couple about their wish list and responded with a client-centric modern home featuring bold architecture, light-filled interior and spaces layered with warm hues and organic elements. “The home naturally imbues dynamic, calm and warm elements, and it feels deeply rooted to its site,” says designer Amanda Engle, principal with Beck & Engle.

Blending seamlessly into the setting’s immediate rolling hills and surrounding mountain views, the house features a unique interplay of volumes, punched openings and roof forms that create a harmonious connection between architecture and nature, explains architect Jeff Schindewolf, principal of JSARC Architects.

“The use of materials plays a crucial role in connecting the home to the community and natural surroundings.” Exaggerated smear-jointed grout, integrally colored to complement the locally sourced West Desert stone, and cleargrain cedar siding stained to match the natural color of the surrounding sage bark all help meld the home into its surroundings. Meanwhile, “composite dark bronze metal paneling brings a modern counterpoint to the home’s volumes and color scheme,” Schindewolf adds.

TOP LEFT: Enjoying views of Park City’s ski slopes, the home is surrounded by a natural landscape in the exclusive Glenwild golf community.

BOTTOM LEFT: A clear-grain cedar ceiling flows inside from the exterior overhang, accentuating the home’s compelling indoor/outdoor connection. A layered mix of contemporary and transitional furnishings delivers timeless, modern style to the open great room grounded with riftsawn, white oak floors.

OPPOSITE: Smear-jointed stone and dark metal panels face the great room’s two-story fireplace. A timber-framed opening leads into the entry, creating one of many headturning moments in the home. The two-tier ring chandelier of glittering textured glass is by Hammerton Studio.

In back, a curved upper-floor deck serves as the main patio roof. The curve of this roof form directs the eye across the Park City Mountain horizon, providing stunning and ever-changing vistas. “Our client is a huge ski enthusiast, so we specifically sited the home to capture the views of the mountain and slopes,” Schindewolf says. Nearby, a 30-foot wide span of motorized glass panels disappears into the walls, opening the great room to a broad patio, seamlessly connecting indoors and out. Above, upper windows lean out over the landscape, “responding to the site’s slope,” the architect explains.

OPPOSITE: In the dining area, dark timbers frame an inset covered with texture-rich grasscloth wallcovering. A sleek Axis Pivot Linear chandelier by Hammerton Studio hangs above a mid-tone wood table surrounded by Theodore Alexander chairs. The painting is by Utah artist Andrew Skorut, represented by the 15th Street Gallery.

ABOVE: Sleek hardware from Rocky Mountain Hardware adorns the open kitchen’s painted cabinets and walnut island. Silver Macaubus quartzite countertops and backsplashes brighten the space while natural stone and a metal range hood visually link to the great room fireplace nearby. The cabinets are by Craftsman Kitchens.

Inside, the same expansive wall of glass panels and tilted windows floods the great room’s open living, dining and kitchen areas with natural light and jaw-dropping views. A monumental fireplace, faced with the same West Desert stone and dark metal panels featured on the exterior, anchors the two-story room. The fireplace’s dark, massive form delivers visual weight to the airy interior and helps foster one’s feeling of being grounded yet simultaneously floating over the scenic setting.

Engle fashioned that dichotomy into an organically inspired, contemporary décor comforted by a decidedly warm palette. “With all of the windows, we needed warm tones to prevent the home from feeling cold,” she explains. The designer teamed rift-cut, white oak floors with soft-white walls to create a canvas upon which she layered a curated mix of stone, woods and metals. “The interior subtly mirrors elements of the architecture, as the two coexist seamlessly,” says Engle, who also used the contrast of light and dark to promote this harmonious relationship.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: A wet bar and casual gathering area occupy the upstairs media room overlooking the great room.

Natural light shines through two-story windows to illuminate the spectacular floating steel staircase.

An extended roof teams with an asymmetrically designed front door framed by broad glass panes to welcome visitors to the house.

Amanda Engle and Stacey Beck, principals of Beck & Engle Design.

Layers of nature-inspired texture enrich the media room, including nubby textiles, prominent wood grains and dark grasscloth wallcovering.

OPPOSITE: Crafted with floating treads and an open steel frame, the staircase leads to the second-level media room. A two-story stone wall creates a rugged backdrop for a clustered pendant composed of gemlike, hand-blown glass shades hung at varying heights. The staircase was crafted by Lightning Forge, the treads by Underfoot Floors and the multipendant light fixture by Hammerton Studio.

120 U T A H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 3

To that end, dark timber-framed openings link many of the main-level living spaces and pace movement through the house. “They add a sense of rhythm to the floor plan and provide a sense of structure and scale to the interior space,” Engle explains. Their blackish forms contrast with the interior’s light walls, as do the stone-and-metal fireplace, metal range hood, steel staircase and other darkish elements that deliver impact and visual interest to the décor. And because deep-tones recur throughout the home, they promote a sense of continuity that visually ties the spaces together.

A repetition of natural woods, stone and rich textures similarly unifies the interior spaces. Tongue-and-groove vertical grain cedar, for example, flows from exterior overhangs to the ceilings of the great room, entry, upstairs media room and primary suite. “The cedar adds character and a layer of organic warmth,” Engle explains. A gridded headboard wall of dark walnut does the same in the primary bedroom. Stone also makes a big impact there, with Taj Majal quartzite and textured limestone composing the fireplace wall and Calacatta marble cladding the bathroom’s spacious wet room. A free-standing tub is the centerpiece of this area and joins timber-framed openings and a mosaic tile rug to create a striking focal point.

Engle also used lighting to elevate the design and create memorable moments throughout the home. “Lighting can make or break a space,” says Engle, who judiciously mixed statement-making pieces with more restrained fixtures to strike a perfect balance.

In the great room, for example, large rings of textured glass resemble soaring, sparkling bracelets hanging high above the living area.

Across the room, a simpler, linear fixture floats discreetly above the dining table. “Not everything can be a hero,” says Engle, who introduced a cluster of gem-like pendants to illuminate the stairway, a lighted halo for the primary bedroom and sconces resembling stacked stones for the powder room.

“Working with different shapes and not being formulaic in your lighting choices prevents the eye from becoming bored.” There’s little chance of that, given the stylishly calibrated spaces and dynamic architecture that defines this timeless, modern mountain home.

GARDEN TO TABLE

COOL AS A

Cukes are crispy, crunchy and so refreshing. Plant them now and enjoy them throughout summer.

BY DON SKY PECK

CUCUMBERS ARE A staple for warm-

weather party trays, easy-to-make appetizers and simple snacks. With this in mind, Burpee’s crop of new introductions includes a 4-inch, thin-skinned “Party Time” cucumber, perfect for small gardens and mini-cuke dipping.

122 U T A H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 3

Cucumbers 101

GARNISH

Cucumbers deliver a uniquely fresh flavor to all types of warm-weather drinks, ranging from vodka martinis and gin-and-tonics to sparkling sodas and iced waters. They also make a cool garnish. Our favorite is the easy-to-make cucumber ribbon. Simply cut the end off a washed cucumber and then use a peeler to peel down the length of the cuke, set the ribbon aside and repeat.

You can also use a mandolin to prepare these slices. Place one to three ribbons in your prepared drink and serve.

• Select cucumbers with uniformly deep green skin and no soft spots • Store cucumbers in a refrigerator crisper for up to a week. They will wilt when keep at room temperature. Unwaxed cucumbers should be wrapped tightly in plastic to retain their moisture.

• Serve unwaxed cucumbers peeled or unpeeled. Waxed cucumbers are best peeled before they are eaten.

DIP

Creamy Ranch dressing makes a perfect dip for fresh, crisp cucumbers.

Homemade or store bought, this classic also provides a wonderful base for adding your own flavorful twist.

• S tir in a favorite condiment, from simple mustard or barbecue sauce to diced pickles or even pesto.

• Turn up the heat with Sriracha, diced green chiles, Worcestershire, chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, salsa, Mexican hot sauce or Moroccan harissa paste.

• B righten it with lemon zest and a squeeze of juice.

• A dd more herbs including dill, chives, parsley, oregano or basil.

• M ix in your favorite flavorpacked cheese: think bleu, feta, Parmesan or sharp cheddar.

• K ick it up with lime juice, cilantro and diced avocado.

• G o for broke with roasted Poblano chiles, sauteed onions, crumbled bacon or roasted garlic.

SNACK

SMOKED SALMON CUCUMBER CANAPE 1 unwaxed, organic cucumber 5 ounces chevre (creamy goat cheese) 6 ounces sliced smoked salmon 16 sprigs fresh dill (for garnish) Score the cucumber’s skin lengthwise with a fork. Slice the decoratively scored cucumber into sixteen quarter-inch rounds.

Spread a thin layer of chevre on each round. Top with salmon and dill. Serve on a chilled platter.

GROW

Cucumbers are easy to grow but require good soil, lots of sun and consistent watering. According to the garden pros at USU, cucumbers can be grown from seed or transplants. (Allow 4-6 weeks to grow transplants.) Plant seeds when soil temperature is 65°F or after all frost danger has passed. In rows 4 feet apart, plant four to six seeds into 1-inch-deep holes, with 12-18 inches between each planting. After they have two leaves, thin to two plants per location.

Transplants should also be planted in rows 4 feet apart, with 2 feet of distance between each planting. Water deeply and infrequently, applying 1-2 inches per week depending on plant size. After the vines develop runners and before the plants begin to flower, side dress each plant with 3-4 tablespoons of a nitrogen fertilizer (21-0-0), sprinkled around the plant, then water in the fertilizer.

"CLASSIC"?

"A classic timepiece, designed for a lady." This is how some may describe our Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust. Maybe they're right. Since the early 20th Century, Rolex has designed and crafted watches suited for all women's wrists, with the same standard of excellence as for all the models that have built its legend. Always pursuing a higher standard. So, if"classic" means perpetuating tradition while combining elegance and precision, grace and resistance, beauty and performance, it is indeed a classic timepiece, designed for a lady.

The Lady-Datejust.
