Designed By: Richard Bustos Photos By: Chad Mellon It is practically unheard of in interior design—that, in a matter of four hours, the majority of furnishings, accessories, lighting and artwork could be selected for an entire 5,000-square-foot home. But that was exactly the story for Cantoni designer Richard Bustos and his clients, Karen and Mike Moran. The couple, who had purchased and were in the midst of gutting a home on the water in Newport Beach, California, knew what they wanted. Combined with Richard’s design assistance, it was a match made for swift decision-making and the resulting beautifully neutral, modern space. “We went into Cantoni in Irvine and fell in love with it—it was everything we liked,” Karen says. “Richard had the same vision we did, and we told him what we wanted, and he would direct us. He was on the same level.” Even more surprising: they selected the furnishings before the home’s bones were even complete. They had wanted a more contemporary vibe to capitalize on the expansive bay views and were in the midst of ripping out low ceilings and outdated spaces. “We wanted modern warmth,” Karen says. “Cantoni furniture was the perfect fit.” After their initial meeting, Richard met with the couple several times to take measurements and ensure pieces would fit. And they did—with elegant cohesion. In the living room, they leaned heavily on the Fashion Affair collection by Malerba, which is exclusive to Cantoni in the U.S. He flanked the Fashion Affair sofa in ivory leather with the Fashion Affair club chairs in taupe leather and the ivory Viera area rug to create a sumptuous textural mix. In the center, he placed the brown-glossed Fashion Affair low cocktail table and Fashion Affair occasional table for ease of entertaining and conversation. A punch of glamour came by way of a set of Ravi table lamps in gold-glazed porcelain set on special-ordered Fashion Affair side tables. The Harmony floor sculpture in black stone and capiz shell was brought in for added interest. “Because of the grand scale of the living room—with high ceilings and numerous windows overlooking the water—the pieces in the space had to have more substance,” Richard says. “They are heavier-scaled than traditional modern furnishings, and in neutral tones to allow the architectural elements, such as a glass staircase and elevator, to be the main focal point.” The trio settled on the Fashion Affair extension table in brown gloss with a bronze metal arc base in the formal dining area, and flanked it with eight Arcadia high-back chairs. “We like to have Sunday dinners with our large family, and now we finally have a big dining-room table,” Karen says. The master bedroom also affords bay views, and they again leaned heavily on neutral tones with the M Place California-king bed with chrome accents, the M Place nightstand with M Place table lamps, the M Place bench, Natuzzi’s Anteprima chair and a Scoop accent table. “They were fun, happy, cool people to work with,” Richard says. One of the couple’s favorite spaces—the family room—features a remote-controlled, drop-down projection screen. For comfortable viewing, Richard paired the Milano sectional (with a power recliner) with the Sushi round cocktail table, the Lambrea accent table, and a Ravi table lamp in a gold metallic snakeskin pattern. “Richard was wonderful, was on top of it, and was a great asset to our team,” Karen says. Mike agrees. “Richard was a dedicated professional,” he says. “He spent hours walking us through Cantoni making suggestions, measuring, and offering advice on what would and wouldn’t work. Cantoni furniture was a natural fit.”

This is an urban condo with a young couple who were starting out. They loved the rustic mountains and colour so we combined the two to come up with a great space. We had limited size to work with and needed to combine a dining with a living space. We kept things compact as a result as every inch mattered!

Game Changer. Textured microfiber and understated animal prints merge comfort with style for a winning combination in the Victor collection. High-density foam and no-sag springs throughout ensure that no matter where you lounge - reclined on the chaise, tucked in the corner or curled up in the middle - you'll still have the best seat in the house. Done in neutral brown, gold and camel tones, the trendy animal designs on the accent pillows and ottoman add a punch of pattern that will transition easily into most rooms.

Guest bedrooms are a fun opportunity to play with color and the pops of orange in this one are a nod to the homeowner's alma matter. With cozy bedding, a handy desk and plenty of light, this guest room has everything you'd find in a boutique hotel!

First impressions do matter. This beautiful Downers Grove home had such an inviting and comfortable atmosphere, but the entry into the home was lacking. We took the beautiful bones and added to the character to brighten and add function to the space. By replacing the lighting, brightening the walls, and adding comfortable furniture, the first impression of this home is now welcoming and inviting.

This rustic mountain home is located with in the Big EZ of Big Sky, Montana. Set high up in the mountains, the views from the home are breath taking. Large glazing throughout the home captures these views no matter what room you are in. The heavy timbers, stone accents, and natural building materials give the home a rustic feel, which pairs nicely with the rugged, remote location of the home. We balanced this out with high ceilings, lots of natural lighting, and an open floor plan to give the interior spaces a lighter feel. Photos by Whitney Kamman

So it’s modern, classy, casual, comfy and fun. No matter which side of the tracks your friends come from, they’ll feel right at home on this one. Fire pit sold separately from Wayfair.com.

Rustic farmhouse marries industrial charm on this distinctive cocktail table. Two solid sheesham rectangular pyramids finished in our Brownstone Nut Brown stain form the top of this unique cocktail table. The dark metal base creates lines and an airy illusion that makes the two rectangular pyramids appear to float above the ground. No matter the room you chose for this table, you are sure to create a lot conversations from it.
