At Elevated Living Interiors, a premier Jackson Hole Interior Design Firm, our passion lies in translating our clients' dreams into tangible spaces. For Antelope Flats, nestled in the heart of Wyoming, the vision was clear: to seamlessly blend the rugged spirit of the Mountain West with a sophisticated, modern architectural design. As leading Interior Designers in Jackson Hole, our primary objectives were two-fold: first, to capture that authentic regional essence, harmonizing it with the home's clean, contemporary lines; and second, to thoughtfully integrate the client's cherished existing Jackson Hole Furniture, ensuring a balanced and highly functional spatial layout.
The resulting aesthetic is what we fondly call "Wild West Modern with a playful heart." Our clients, true nature lovers of Jackson Hole, envisioned a home brimming with historical nods to the West, brought to life through carefully selected Navajo-inspired area rugs, bedding featuring subtle Western motifs, and a rich tapestry of textural layering evident in the chosen wallpaper and patterns. Their wonderfully playful spirit was a constant source of inspiration, encouraging us to create an environment that felt both undeniably sophisticated and joyfully reflective of their unique personality.
Our meticulous design process for Antelope Flats began with a foundational understanding of scale. Working directly from the architectural blueprints, we strategically layered in the precise dimensions of the client's existing Jackson Hole Furniture pieces. This crucial step allowed us to determine the ideal proportions for all future selections, ensuring a harmonious flow throughout the residence and preventing potentially costly mistakes down the line. From this solid base, the creative ideation stage blossomed, richly fueled by the client's initial and inspiring vision.
The iconic artistry of Ralph Lauren, the timeless patterns of Pendleton blankets, and the striking geometric beauty of Navajo rugs served as our primary muses. These powerful elements provided the foundational "design strings" that guided our dedicated team of Interior Designers. We then skillfully built upon this established foundation, introducing textured Moroccan area rugs and sumptuously soft shearling throws to add layers of depth and an inviting tactile richness. The true beauty of the Antelope Flats project lay in its deeply collaborative spirit. Working hand-in-hand with our client, Elevated Living Interiors expertly curated a design that was entirely unique to their individual style, seamlessly weaving a contemporary twist into the clean, architectural framework of their beloved residence.
Like any truly creative endeavor, the Antelope Flats project presented its unique set of challenges. A particularly cherished fabric, one that perfectly embodied the client's vision, was unfortunately discontinued. However, at Elevated Living Interiors, we view such setbacks as opportunities for bespoke creation. Collaborating closely with Opuzen, a trusted partner, we embarked on an exciting journey to meticulously recreate the beloved textile. We didn't simply settle for a similar option; instead, we custom-designed the entire color palette to perfectly complement the residence's existing Western Accessories and overall scheme, expertly layering sophisticated neutrals with vibrant pops of energizing yellow and warm burnt orange.
The ultimate success of Antelope Flats was profoundly intertwined with our exceptionally close and communicative collaboration with the client. Every single design decision was a shared one, fostering a true sense of co-creation. Our established process involved engaging pre-meeting presentations where we thoughtfully showcased a diverse range of "looks" through carefully selected fabrics, rich wood finishes, elegant metal samples, and captivating rugs. This interactive approach empowered the client to actively participate in the design process, often artfully pulling individual elements from different presentations to ultimately create a final design that felt authentically and uniquely "them." This iterative and client-focused approach ensured that the final product not only flawlessly met but significantly exceeded their initial expectations, resulting in a home that truly resonated with their personal style.
This remarkable project profoundly reinforced the inherent power of collaborative exploration within the realm of interior design. The clients' enthusiastic, trusting, and open-minded approach proved to be truly inspiring for our entire team throughout every stage of the design process.
Working with the wonderful Antelope Flats clients was an incredibly joyful process of shared discovery. Their genuine love and appreciation for beautiful fabrics and thoughtfully designed furniture made each and every selection an exciting and rewarding step. By the project's successful completion, we had accumulated a cherished collection of beautiful fabric samples, beloved but ultimately not utilized in the final design, carefully saved with the hopeful promise of sparking "future" inspiration.
This infectious enthusiasm, coupled with the creative freedom to explore without unnecessary constraint, was, without a doubt, our absolute favorite aspect of bringing the breathtaking Wild West Modern sanctuary of Antelope Flats to life. And the carefully chosen lighting and strategically placed Western Art further enhanced the unique character of this exceptional home.
