PROJECT TYPE: Partial renovation + complete home furnishing

LOCALE: Venice, FL

SIZE: 6,000 sq ft

STORY: Set on a spacious, sunny lot backing up to a nature preserve, this Mediterannean style home was purchased by our clients in 2011. Originally a builder spec home, it was in need of some personal customization to suit our client's style and their young family's needs. Over the next year we helped tailor the interiors into a stylish, comfortable home for their family to enjoy and children to grow up in. The process (and the results!) were a joy for both our clients and the ARI team.

Our interior design scope of work included furnishing the entire home, designing window treatments, selecting lighting, enhancing the ceiling designs in the master bedroom, dining room, and study with custom details and finishes, adding a marble media wall in the family room, designing custom storage, and working with the home's existing bones to enhance its functionality and style to suit its owners.

Update: Five years later, we were hired again by our happy clients to create a custom mudroom storage solution, give the family room a little decor refresher, and help design a very special addition. The mudroom is now optimized for everyday use by their three, now school-age children, and the family room is refreshed with a new rug, pillows, and accessories. The biggest update will be the major outdoor living space addition, currently in progress. With increased patio lounge space around the pool, a custom outdoor kitchen with bar, and dining pavilion all under an outdoor cooling system, this new addition will allow our clients to enjoy the Florida lifestyle to its fullest!
