The second annual House Beautiful Whole Home Concept Show House opened its doors in Nashville, Tennessee, with the outdoor spaces adorned with furnishings from the Savannah collection by Barclay Butera for Castelle. As the latest introduction from the collaboration between Castelle and the iconic designer, the southern inspired Savannah collection was featured on a covered patio as well as in an open dining a reaadjacent to the almost 6,000-square-foot English Arts and Crafts style home.
“Castelle has been proud to bea part of this collaboration of quality construction furnishings and design entities focused on the Whole Home Concept for this show house,” says Rory Rehmert, senior vice president of sales. “Through our association with Barclay and his design of the new Savannah collection, Castelle was able to showcase our handcrafted quality as it applies to home furnishings as well as the concept of well-being that outdoor living provides any home.”
House Beautiful’s collaborative home was described as an innovative showcase of products and design cues that underscore how wellness in the home is becoming a universal living priority.
The outdoor spaces of the show house included gardens by landscape architecture firm, Page Duke, as well as 524 square feet of leisure space that were the recipient of Butera’s design plan. Included within the plan were a covered porch with a fireplace holding multiple sofas, a coffee table, end tables, lounge chairs and wing chairs. The uncovered dining area boasted a table and chairs, also from the Castelle Savannah collection covering over 200 square feet.
“There’s no question I was thrilled to have the opportunity to design a spectacular outdoor living area in Nashville with House Beautiful,” says designer and author, Barclay Butera. “When I was first approached about the project, I knew immediately I was going to showcase my latest collection with Castelle, Savannah; designed with a nod to the beauty and gentility of the South.”
Butera’s design sensibilities and affinity to statement color were on display in the furnishings, including soft bamboo touches, subtle chinoiserie and the surprise mix of robin’s egg blue, coral and crisp white.
The Nashville Whole Home Concept Home was the second collaboration with House Beautiful, and was featured in the magazine’s November 2019 issue as well as across digital and social platforms. The home was open to the public through Nov. 3 with proceeds from entry tickets benefitting the Nashville Symphony.
