Tuscan Style Home


A Beautiful Tuscan-Style Villa In Need of Some Shade.

Our clients had recently moved into this gem of a home and were trying to be true to its 1920's lineage while re-decorating it. Like most houses set on top of a rolling hill, sun is an issue. In order to combat the heat while still adding beauty and elegance to their home, they decided to go with spear and finial awnings. It was important that additions fit the aesthetic of their Tuscan Villa that was designed by architect to the stars, Robert Finkelhor.

Drapes
For the front of the house, our clients decided to make a statement with a couple of window awnings and a set of drapes, framing the front door of the house while also adding a colorful accent.

These awnings feature spears that tie in nicely with the wrought-iron metal found around the house.

In order to add some color to the house and still remain true to its 1920's style, our client decided to use Sunbrella's "Black Forest Fancy". The neutral tone of the light beige portion of the fabric blended well with the house, while the classic green stripes added just the right amount of accent.

Their pool area features three awnings to help protect the living room from the afternoon heat.

Not every touch added to the house was steeped in tradition. In order to keep their dining cool from the afternoon heat, they added a motorized drop screen. This is the perfect way to protect a room from the sun. By keeping the sun off of the glass, their dining room can stay cool all year around without running up the air conditioning bill.

​At the push of the button they can have as much, or as little sun protection as they need.
