Designs of Distinction 2003

by Heather Rasley

As the population of Naples continues to blossom, so too must the number of residences capable of accommodating the nation's most discriminating homeowners. NI's annual Designs of Distinction awards present elite innovations in this growing market.
These designers have created rooms that abound with Old World charm, stately elegance and high-tech conveniences. Elements of surprise captivate, whether it's a chest that serves as a sink, or a breakfast room warmed by nontraditional tones. Although each room is unique, a unifying theme of comfort and attention to detail characterize these spaces, selected from more than 200 entries.

This edgy room targets the upscale urban professional. Unconventional seating configurations and bold window treatments in a horizontal two-tone fabric - as well as the plasma TV on the opposite wall - create a sleek and modern feel.
