Calusa Bay Design – Laid Back Luxury

Each room, each vignette, each material in this exquisite home provides yet another layer of expertise, creativity, and texture. The ability to incorporate this texture uniquely into each space, but to do so in a subtly nuanced treatment, is really the true barometer of interior design expertise. With the natural grass cloth pervasively elevating all the main spaces on the first floor, with the warmth of the varying wood finishes throughout, and with the elegance of the artistic and edgy light fixtures, this home takes you on a visually stimulating yet conversely calming journey right from the front entrance. The softness of the velvets and wool blends on the seating are so visceral, and the choice of rugs throughout, which are both chic, grounding, and soft to the foot, give a bit of an elevated bohemian vibe. This design achieves a perfect balance between grandeur and intimacy. Medium-toned wide plank white oak flooring seamlessly ties the entire home together, its warm hue echoed in the cabinetry, wood casings, architectural slat details, and ceilings, creating such harmony. Each space feels welcoming and comfortable for any end user. Luxurious textures are thoughtfully incorporated into the furnishings as well, infusing each room with dimension and warmth. The color palette features warm neutrals, selected to foster a serene environment. This understated elegance is punctuated by custom black accents lending a distinct Southern California warmth to the design. The home’s architectural marvels include custom black French doors and windows in the great room, with horizontal mullions that replace traditional sliding glass doors, enhancing both functionality and style. The custom black metal front entry door mirrors these horizontal mullions, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic from the moment one steps inside. Floor-to-ceiling corner windows, painted in rich black, grace the dining room, breakfast nook, club room, and upstairs loft, offering expansive views while providing a striking visual contrast and filling the spaces with natural light. This meticulous craftsmanship, where every detail has been curated to offer a warm, sophisticated, and uniquely inviting living experience, results in a home that is one of one.
