Scottsdale’s Vallone Design used color and pattern to provide plenty of eye-catchiness in this traditional 3,200-sq.-ft. Silverleaf vacation home.

Guestroom
While much of this Silverleaf vacation home denotes a more traditional design aesthetic, the homeowner wished for the guestroom to reflect their visiting daughter’s more modern taste. Though mostly clean-lined and contemporary, the upholstered bed and curved bedside lamps add softness to the space.

Guest Casita
Because the casita is detached from the main home, the designers were given the green light to be bolder in their décor choices. “While still using traditional furniture, the introduction of navy blue, bright orange and modern artwork gives the room a lively, playful feel,” says the Vallone Design duo.

Great Room
The Navajo rug that is displayed in the adjacent dining room provided the inspiration for the color palette used in the great room (as described in the striped area rug and throw pillows). The large living space is capped off with a custom chandelier which not only provides soft, ambient light but draws the eye upward, accenting the ceiling’s wood beams.

Dining Room/Office
Because the Silverleaf residence is a vacation retreat, the homeowner didn’t feel the need for a formal dining room. Instead, the homeowner desired a multifunctional space, so the result is an area that acts as both a dining room and an office, with the table providing expansive desktop space. “The client’s Navajo rug [located on the dining room wall] drove the design which evolved into a home that reflects the client’s traditional sensibility while embracing the relaxed atmosphere they wanted in this vacation home,” says Shane Mehrer of Vallone Design.

Master Bedroom
Though the gorgeous desert right outside the master bedroom window provides the main focal point, the pattern drapes and plaid accent chairs are equally as eye-popping. To balance the red bursts of color is the custom-made neutral-tone silk bedding. 

WORD TO THE WISE:
“The introduction of the wood beams in a larger room can make it feel more intimate along with adding visual interest.”
