ABODE
Rhapsody in ORANGE
By Mary Thurman Yuhas | Photography by Giovanni PhotographyA bold accent color and a clever design plan turned this Naples
residence from confusing to charming
Situated on a small lake in North Naples’ Pelican Bay community,
this one-story, 2,800-square-foot home was blesed with a dreamy
location that will never go out of style. But inside and out, the three-
bedroom, circa-1984 residence showed its age and was in need of a
renewal. Nan Wright, principal of Naples-based Wright Interior Group
and an associate ASID designer, sought to transform this “big, white
box,” into a modern abode composed of demarcated areas to suit the
owner’s needs.
“My client loves to entertain, so her home needed more delinea-
tion,” says Wright. “Outside, she wanted more hard surfaces so she
could utilize the space in different ways. Now she has a transitionally
styled home with more intimate spaces.”DESIGN
