This project didn’t just tackle the interior. The homeowners pictured an outdoor living space where they could gather with friends and family around the grill and fire pit. “They had started working with Premiere Service landscaping [in Oak Brook] to build out the bones of what they wanted,” says Dana Silver of Desa Design Studio in Naperville. “And then we came in and helped with the lighting design, furniture, planters, umbrellas, and outdoor accessories.” The sofas and lounge chairs are by Sunset West; the dining table, chairs, and counter stools are from Harbour; the lanterns are from Crate & Barrel, Target, and Pottery Barn; and the planters are from West Elm.
