Integrating vintage and antique décor into your home can be a transformative journey, infusing your living spaces with a timeless charm that transcends fleeting trends. Design experts, such as Ryan Hughes and Elizabeth Cinquini, understand the art of blending classic elements with creative nuances to create enduring beauty.
Timeless design is presented in the European – inspired and classically designed Amarula Sun project by Ryan Hughes Design. The 10,000 square foot outdoor design was crafted to meet the challenges of 21st century engineering, but architecturally, to live in harmony with the home’s "Versailles–esque” interiors. “With projects like Amarula Sun, our vision is to complement the opulent surroundings as well as create elements for outdoor entertaining that add timeless beauty and packed a generous amount of wow,” said Ryan Hughes, founder and creative director of Ryan Hughes Design. “This project overflowed across four levels with each designed of a mix of creative and classic elements.” A generous amount of custom mosaic work with all handmade tiles and design accents of 24ct gold inlaid tile, continued the palatial style not often found along the shores of South Florida. Custom columns and statement-making stairs draw family and guests into a space of moving waters, fire features, lounging terraces, and a classic entertaining and dining pavilion.
