There are many things about this Utah mountain home to obsess over. There’s the location: nestled into the folds of Tuhaye’s rolling terrain, the house is oriented to capture sweeping views of the Wasatch Range and the Talisker Club golf course. There is the architecture—designed by Michael Upwall of Upwall Design, it is defined by sweeping curves, angled planes and walls of glass that draw the landscape inside. And there are the layers of furnishings and finishes that create the richly textured interiors for which interior designer Allison Campbell is known.
Yet for all its bravura, the home was never meant to be a showpiece alone. The homeowners envisioned a place that could host a full house of grown children and friends one weekend, then feel serene and restorative the next. “The clients were drawn to strong forms and bold architecture, but they were equally focused on how the house would feel when it was full of people—and when it was completely quiet,” Campbell says.

🫶🎨“We are currently loving the ‘color drenching’ trend,” designer @andreawestdesign answers in response to our quest for surprising color applications. “For a recent home office and music room project, we customized the wallpaper that wrapped all the walls in a gorgeous burgundy red. We then painted the ceiling and trim in a slightly darker shade. The resulting space felt intentional and timeless, although completely drenched in color.”

It’s not about matching—it’s about balance. Layering color, texture, and scale is what allows a space to feel cohesive and intentional.

Color is the life of the party, especially in the hands of great designers, who rarely confine it to sofa pillows and vases. We reached out to eight talented pros and asked how they deliver color in savvy and surprising ways!
Up first is Cara Fox of @the_fox_group_ , who favors bold built-in cabinetry and bookshelves as her preferred method of color application. 💙
“I can’t think of a better way to add color to a room than through the architectural elements of built-in cabinetry. It’s a must-do in all of my very favorite spaces.”

From Tuscan terraces to the Ligurian seaside, lesser-known Italian gardens offer ideas and inspiration to take home.
Many garden-loving travelers like me naturally build Italian itineraries around the icons: the sculpted drama of Florence’s Boboli Gardens, the theatrical fountains of Tivoli, the lakeside elegance of Villa d’Este. These are landmarks of landscape design—Italy’s greatest hits—and they deserve every accolade. Yet Italy also harbors smaller, undersung gardens that feel like invitations for those willing to wander off the beaten path. Historic and esteemed, yet often overlooked by the crowds, they reward curiosity with unexpected delights. In these quiet corners, the landscape sets its own gentle rhythm, giving you time to explore, notice details and savor its subtle choreography—as if the garden itself leans in to whisper, “look, linger and learn.”

For interior designer Danielle Domichel Hickman, it felt like discovering a hidden treehouse in the woods. Tucked into a Millcreek hillside and reached by a 74-step descent, her clients’ 1970s home cascades toward the creek below, its levels unfolding like platforms in the trees. “The setting is pure fairytale,” she gushes. But inside, the spell had worn off. Decades of dated finishes and features dulled the home’s charm.
That disconnect between wondrous and worn led to an ambitious renovation. “The owners wanted the house to feel like a true retreat, a place that could instantly transport them away from daily demands and into something calmer, lighter and more restorative,” Domichel Hickman explains. @domichelhickmandesignstudio

Courtney Zwick, a Salt Lake City local, has long worn dresses she designed, favoring modest tailoring over passing trends. After years of requests for custom gowns, she set her sights on opening the brick-and-mortar boutique The Courtney Shop to showcase her love of elegant, European-inspired detail. With help from longtime friend Hillary Taylor of Hillary Taylor Interiors and Zwick’s husband, owner of Zwick Construction, The Courtney Shop opened last spring.
“If anything, Courtney is rigorous,” says Taylor. “Even though her designs are soft, fresh, and feminine, they are very exacting.”
