Beasley & Henley

Beasley and Henley Interior Design has been selected to create interiors for the new Marquesa Royale luxury penthouse condominium model at Tiburón, a 943-acre resort community neighboring the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples.

Visitors to the new model may be overcome by a sudden desire for instant gratification. At least, that’s what interior designer Troy Beasley hopes.

“This home has an inviting environment that people will enjoy as they walk from room to room,” said Beasley, design principal at Beasley and Henley. “I want them to think, ‘This is fabulous, I could easily spend time here and I want to buy it.’”

Beasley and Henley, with offices in Naples and Winter Park, is creating a sophisticated, soft modern design throughout the three-bedroom home’s 2,900 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Its color palette of warm grays, tone-on-tone white and creamy neutrals and pops of bright, sunny gold will appeal to American and European buyers.

“It’s sophisticated and soothing, almost like a salon look,” said Beasley, who is accenting the space with an eclectic mix of modern abstract art, clean-lined furnishings, reproduction antiques, whimsical accent pieces and oversized prints on throw pillows and draperies. “The concept reflects a couple who travel and have collected items they love during their travels.” Beasley and Henley’s design also reflects today’s technology and the tendency for entertaining. Instead of a room-filling desk in the media room, the designer opted for a comfortable sofa and small desk. “Most people come to Naples to entertain friends and get away,” Beasley said. “They have laptops or iPads these days and don’t have to be hooked into the wall. They might go online for a few minutes to check email or stocks.”

In the kitchen, Beasley and Henley converted a storage area into a bar with an under-counter wine refrigerator, glass tile backsplash and upper cabinets with glass doors, an option offered to homebuyers through WCI’s Design Studio. “It’s the perfect spot for a cocktail area,” he said.

“The home’s main rooms are connected visually to make moving about feel natural and effortless,” Beasley added.

Urquiola is a big name in hotel interiors. This set of pics is from her work on a Barcelona, Spain hotel from the luxury hotel chain Mandarin Oriental. Architecture is by Carlos Ferrater and Juan Trias de Bes.

There are Oriental-inspired patterns and textures, and long, sleek lines. The greys, greens, browns, and creams are good, practical choices for a hotel because they inspire calm. Used correctly, they can look expensive, as well.

Every element of every room can have a designer touch. Even in the bathroom, where clutter can ruin even the most beautiful design.

The Breeze Rack, winner of a Red Dot design concept award, is a super-sleek and super-useful gadget for the bathroom. It combines the functions of a hair dryer, bathroom ventilator, tower dryer and sterilizer in the form of a tower rack. The hair dryer detaches from one end of the rack.

In space-saving, aesthetics, and functionality, the Breeze Rack is the perfect bathroom device.

Furnishing and design trends for 2012 are emerging and putting a twist on the modern-only styles of the past decade. See what Beasley & Henley Interior Design sees as “In” for the upcoming year!

Color: Greys and Naturals

The dominant color is Grey. Warm Grey, Light Grey, Charcoal Grey. On walls, furnishings, window treatments, artwork, grey will be everywhere. Also coming on strong will be Yellow! Everyone loves its freshness and the lift it gives to any room. It will be paired with Grey, of course.

Other hot color trends for 2012 will include Indigo Blue, Grass Green, Greige (beige/green hybrid), and still, Black and White.

In addition, know that Orange will still be hanging around; Purple is on its way out and Brown, which had a very long run, is gone.

Furnishings: Antique, Industrial, and More

The headline here has to be: Paris Flea Market meets Driftwood Salvage. This captures the hot trend of natural, reclaimed, and rustic wood furniture that is overtaking the market. Finishes on these rustic pieces will range from wire-brushed to bleached oak to grey washes.

Also hot in trends for 2012 will be the captivating and unique industrial look. Adding in touches of repurposed, industrial occasional tables or side carts will create a space with character. Mix it in with a few modern pieces and voila! A great look.

Another great look in trends for 2012 will be Antiques. For some people, antiques have never gone out of style, and now others will be jumping on the band wagon because antiques are coming back and will be hotter than ever.

An interesting Trends for 2012 side note…

Beasley & Henley has spotted a few manufacturers that will be making Lounge Chair Seating a little lower in trends for 2012. The standard is 20” off the floor, but look for some to be at 17-18” off the floor. Maybe for lower ceilings and smaller houses.

Fabrics: Great Developments

Married to the natural, rustic look of furnishings will be fabrics with woven, hemp-like characteristics. Nubby cottons, loose weaves, and Belgian linens will come on strong and will be found in soft earth tones like warm whites, sandy beiges, light greys and tans.

Another great development in trends for 2012 is that environmentally conscious fabrics will finally be really accessible and affordable in most price categories.
Environmentally conscious Exterior fabrics will also be coming on strong with their incredible new look and feel. In most cases, even designers won’t be able to identify an exterior fabric as an interior fabric. They will be just as beautiful inside as outside. That is a great development.

Oversized Prints were big in 2011 and they will continue to be big in trends for 2012.

Light Fixtures

Reclaimed pieces turned in to lamps and lighting was a trend that started a couple years ago and will continue in 2012. These funky items, along with some equally unique industrial fixtures, will make lighting an “objet d’art” as much as an actual light source.

Hardware

Chrome fittings are a big in trends for 2012 and beyond. Also look for Polished and Satin Brass hardware, all designed with a modernist flair, of course.

Artwork

Oversized photography is still the king of artwork. Looks will range from standard pictures, to re-worked images in sepias, black and white, and a variety of computer- enhanced stylings.

So what’s the hold up? Buy something yellow, paint a wall grey, find a rustic wood side table, cover a sofa in a large-print hemp, and hang up some huge photos of a favorite adventure.

Bring it on 2012.

Winter Park, FL, November 26, 2011 — Award-winning Beasley & Henley Interior Design has completed the interior detailing and merchandising for two new Mattamy Homes townhouse models, located at The Reserve at Loch Lake (off Lake Mary Blvd and Sterling Pine Road).

The Beasley & Henley Interior Design models reflect the community’s appeal to professionals and modern families.

The interior design of the The “Capri” reflects a young, vibrant home with an easy, inviting style. It features tiled floors, espresso cabinets, silestone countertops and white subway tiles among other details. Its trendy outlook is captured in its color palette of soft greys, ivory, and sunflower. The rooms are modern and comfortable, showing the best uses of Mattamy’s well-laid out floor plan.

The “Venice” model is designed for a young professional couple, but its transitional style will appeal to many buyers. The background colors are earthy neutrals, creams, and vibrant greens. Tiled floors, granite counters, a built-in desk, and a spa-like master bath all contribute to this home’s comfort and style. Clean-lined upholstery pieces mix with more rustic wood accents to provide a great mix of old and new — a signature mark of Beasley & Henley.

The town homes at Loch Lake range in size from 1,500 to 1,800 square feet and are priced from the mid $100’s. The model by Beasley & Henley Interior Design for Mattamy Homes are open to the public.
