Though incredibly spacious and airy, the entire interior still has a warm and inviting feel, making it a natural home base for the entire brood to gather. From an intimate breakfast nook just off the main living area to a family room that’s ready for anything—from game night to cocktail hour—to a primary bathroom that could rival the most luxurious five-star spa, this is the ultimate entertaining home, sure to host countless reunions and gatherings in the years to come. And crucially, the space doesn’t feel cordoned off from the gorgeous natural world outdoors, but very much a part of it.

FAST FACTS

Designer: Jennelle Butera, Bloum Design Co.

Location: Kamas, Utah

The Space: A five-bedroom, six-bathroom home across 8,200 square feet

ENTRYWAY

Guests are greeted by subtle artistic touches.

An entryway needs to make a memorable first impression, and the one in this home, anchored by a distinctive custom walnut console table, is so much more than a simple pass-through. “This entry vestibule serves as an artistic moment,” Butera says. There’s subtle beauty to appreciate underfoot as well, as the dappled pattern of the natural stone pavers is used both indoors and out, providing a seamless visual transition.

THE GREAT ROOM

A comfy, calming space that lives up to its name.

Rug: Armadillo & Co. Couches: Montauk Sofas. Coffee table: The Future Perfect. Chairs: Verellen. Floor lamps: Vaughan Designs.

Walking into the great room, visitors are struck by two distinct features: expansive panorama windows that showcase sweeping mountain vistas and a sumptuous seating area that practically begs sitters to stay awhile and appreciate the view. The deep olive green Montauk sofas were hand-selected not just for their gorgeous color and plush silhouette, but because they feel like a dream. “The clients even took a special trip to the Chicago showroom to personally sit-test them,” Butera quips.

DINING AREA

Gilded accents add polish to everyday meals.

Adjacent to the central seating zone is the dining area; at its heart is a custom-fabricated walnut table with cozy mohair-upholstered chairs that offer plenty of spots for dinner party guests to perch.

“Warm and chocolate tones were chosen to complement the natural landscape,” Butera says, and the effect is the total embodiment of—dare we say—quiet luxury. A sophisticated dry bar awaits service nearby, resplendent in its gleaming wallcovering by Alchemy Helio 3.0.

BREAKFAST NOOK

This bonus room is the go-to spot for quiet contemplation.

Banquette: Teerlink Cabinets. Table: Greg Palombo. Chairs: Maiden Home. Pendant: The Urban Electric Co.

For those in-between moments throughout the day, this light-filled breakfast nook, grounded by a custom ash wood table and banquette, offers a casual, quiet corner. “This intimate, everyday space allows them to enjoy the view while sitting with coffee or tea,” Butera says. “It’s also the client’s preferred workspace.”

KITCHEN

Soft moodiness pervades in this hyper-efficient cooking hub.

“The kitchen showcases a curated interplay of dark and light,” Butera says. Subtle shifts in tone and mood are exemplified through the rich oxidized rift oak cabinetry, which contrasts against the smoky zellige tile backsplash. Crowning the range is a custom gunmetal hood, which Butera calls “the kitchen’s striking focal point.”

The space’s organizational flow was also meticulously mapped out through specialized, streamlined storage to ensure maximum efficiency while also allowing room for beauty. The client’s precious collection of pottery, handmade by her mother, holds court above the cook space in the glass-door upper cabinets.

FAMILY ROOM

A casual escape designed for off-hours enjoyment.

Rug: Antrim. Couch: American Leather. Chair: Younger + Co. Side table: Moe’s Home. Floor lamp: Visual Comfort.

On the lower level, this entertaining zone ups the casual quotient, offering ample storage space for the household to stash games, books, and other off-the-clock accoutrements. Ever ready for all hosting needs, the space includes an oxidized rift oak bar and kitchenette. “The bar was intentionally designed to be camouflaged and sleek,” Butera notes. It also alleviates the need to run upstairs for a refill.

BEDROOM

Relaxed refinement takes center stage.

Wallcovering: Fromental. Pendant light: Visual Comfort & Co. Bed: Lawson-Fenning. Bedding: Boll and Branch. Rug: Rosemary Hallgarten.

Cabinet hardware: Colonial Bronze. Rug: Overland Sheepskin. Closet sconce: The Urban Electric Co.

Waking up is never hard to do in this primary bedroom, which Butera calls “a zen-inspired sanctuary for enjoying the mountain views from bed.” She extended the serene tonal and textural palette to this calming space, adding a watercolor-inspired wallcovering to the room’s feature wall and extending it into the nearby boutique-inspired changing area.

PRIMARY BATHROOM

An everyday sanctuary replete with spa-level luxury.

Countertop material: Crema Marfil. Sconces: The Urban Electric Company.

Shower tile: Silver Wave. Shower fixtures: Newport Brass.

“This primary bathroom is a spacious sanctuary, flooded with natural light,” Butera says. Layers of materiality—limestone floor tiles, a marble sink countertop, a white oak custom vanity—read as a naturalistic extension of the alpine atmosphere just outside.

GUEST ROOM

This home-away-from-home practically guarantees sweet dreams.

Wall paint: Card Room Green, Farrow & Ball. Pendant: Visual Comfort. Rug: Armadillo. Bed: Maiden Home. Nightstand: Maiden Home.

This entire home was designed with five-star hospitality in mind, so the guest rooms were certainly not an afterthought. “The main-level guest bedroom is a warm and welcoming space designed to make family and guests feel at home,” Butera says. The room’s biophilic-inspired sage, almond, and mauve hues cocoon the sleeper to put the mind at ease, while a lantern-like pendant from Visual Comfort & Co., aptly named “Paper Moon,” hangs overhead.
