Home Away from Home... at Home
You'll want to reserve a staycation vacation every time you walk into your own backyard when you choose premium outdoor furniture and luxe exterior design.

"Modern Madrid" Design Feels like a Resort
"One of our goals was to create a hotel-like environment," explains Stephanie Laney of Clear Images, "with spaces in and around the home where people could gather at different times of day and for different occasions." The designer, who revitalized this SCV yard with her "Modern Madrid" style, grounded the space with blends of Utah Sunrise and Oklahoma flagstone.
"You have to pay respect to the architecture and natural elements," shares Laney. "There's a lot of color variation in traditional Spanish looks. In Modern Madrid design, we contemporize the look with finishes like furniture, accents and color."
