EXPANSIVE
EXTERIOR
The outdoor living area’s
features are the highlight of
this Naples home. The lanai and
pool are visible the moment you
walk through the front doors
and are seen from every main
living space, so Guild and Bugar
knew they needed to curate
a layout and design cohesive
with the interior but also one
that functions independently.
Using the same palette, they
found furniture that was just as
fantastic as the pieces inside.
Black strapping accentuates the
modern outdoor furniture and is
a beautiful contrast to the white
and taupe fabric found on the
cushions. The square lines of
the mantle detail pairs well with
the softer curves in the area rug.
Beyond the covered lanai, Guild
and Bugar added multiple seating
areas including a one around the
built-in fire pit, a bench by the
spa, a dining area, and a place to
lounge close to the pool.
“I love that we were able
to create different gathering
areas on the lanai, it now feels
like a party-ready space for the
homeowners,” says Guild. She
and Bugar particularly love the
chit chat area around the fire
pit. The chairs are covered in a
large scale graphic pattern that
is understated by the use of
neutrals. It is interesting while
not overwhelming, and perfectly
incorporates the home’s interior
and exterior colors together.
Adjacent to the fire pit, is an the
perfect place for al fresco dining.
