The Cathers Home design team refurbished a rustic Aspen residence, refreshing the color palette and introducing statement furnishings while honoring the home’s architectural integrity.
“A color pop and nature-inspired wallpaper help bring Mother Nature and the beauty of the landscape around this home into the interiors, making it fresh, inviting, and welcoming during all seasons of the year,” says Cathers Home lead senior interior designer Amanda Furlong.
There’s a strong connection between the interior and outdoor spaces, with many of the rooms opening and flowing onto adjoining patios. Surrounded by mature trees, these open-air spaces feel like a secluded woodland sanctuary. A burbling stream encircles the main patio, with a clean-lined concrete bridge providing access to the area beyond.
“The end goal of the outdoor areas at this Colorado family home was to create multiple layers and spaces with great usability and versatility, plus the ability to host a large gathering and feel like you have your own quiet space to relax and converse or simply take in the mountainscape,” Furlong says.
The landscaping includes a dining area, a private nook with Kettal Cala Club egg chairs, an elevated deck conversation space, and—nodding to the husband’s love of outdoor cooking—a built-in al fresco kitchen. A Bitta dining table with extendable top and Bitta dining chairs from Kettal offer versatile entertaining options, while elsewhere, a Bitta three-seat sofa and Vieques side tables provide comfort and functionality. The seating is constructed with aluminum frames and dense braided polyester, making it lightweight and comfortable.
The designers furnished each of the separate patio areas with different color vignettes, utilizing palettes from the Kettal custom furnishings collection. They chose colors inspired by nature, ranging from earth-toned mocha to pops of teal.
“Through the use of this timeless design style and furniture that will last for generations, we have created a mountain home that pays homage to the nature surrounding the residence and gives a nod back to the solid architecture and history of the home,” Furlong says.
