Design Spotlight: Iola Modern

Designer Steven Ortego of Iola Modern partnered with Marissa Vogel to create a stunning coastal-inspired home that reflects her artistic style and vibrant personality. From the start, Steven’s early involvement enabled a cohesive and highly personalized design process, which began with material and finish selections in the kitchen and living room.

Highlights include a carefully curated color palette that complements Marissa’s artwork, as well as custom lacquered cabinets crafted in Italy to hold entertainment essentials, all while maintaining a light and airy feel. Other standout features include layered stone surfaces in the kitchen and fireplace, a bold accent color in coral, and innovative lighting solutions that prioritize unobstructed views of the property’s breathtaking tidal creek.

The design blends farmhouse charm with modern elements, ensuring a timeless aesthetic. “We wanted the house to feel like it had been lived in for years while still reflecting the owner’s unique vision,” shares Steven.
