PerLora designer Craig McDonald's created a vibrant experience that permeated this home's fluid floorplan. Eschewing subtlety, he used color and contemporary Italian leather furnishings to ensure each room exuded a welcoming sense of vitality. Craig carefully selected custom area rugs and other slightly less dramatic design elements to lend underlying consistency.

Lest it be overlooked, functionality was also a critical element to Craig's design. Case in point: this contemporary den that also doubles as a guest suite for visitors staying longer than the last toast of the evening.
