COOL CONTRASTS
The modern fireplace is the focal point of the bright,
elegant living room. “The homeowners wanted a design
that was modern and clean but still welcoming since
this is where they spend half the year. The home also
has a somewhat minimalist feel to it as isn’t overly
accessorized and the design story really comes through
in the different shapes of each unique piece,” explains
Guild. The tone on tone palette is enhanced by subtle
inserts of icy blue brought in through the art and
some of the fabrics used in the room. Guild and Bugar
also chose to use metals as color sources, bringing
in platinum throughout the living room and then
continuing the story with mixed metals in the other
main living spaces. Barrel chairs offer functional beauty
and swivel to allow conversation between the indoor
and outdoor spaces. A sofa in crisp white is backed by
a table of metal and glass which is in keeping with the
minimalistic theme.

SHIMMER AND SHINE
In the dining room, Phillip Jeffries wallpaper is used to create a muted mirror effect. Silver
leaf adds depth and color while the wallpaper’s platinum coating adds shimmer. In the
niche, the mirrored back of the china cabinet helps reflect light back into the room and
matches the sheen of the unique wallpaper. The table, with an elegant silver inlay, features
wood that matches the chocolate-colored floors. The silver and charcoal geometric
pattern found on the chairs is the perfect tie in for the rest of the room.
