From its beginning, Utah Style & Design has celebrated inspiring design and the talented individuals who create it. This year marks our 25th anniversary, giving us yet another reason to raise our glasses to that special place we call home. To kick off this milestone, we’ll be sharing memorable moments tapped from our archives throughout the entire year. Some of these spaces are surprising, most are swoon-worthy and all are exceptional. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into the past and look forward, like us, to the remarkable style and design we’ll showcase in years to come.

Some mountain dwellers swaddle themselves in neutral, monochromatic décors, but the owners of this Promontory home featured in High Drama had other plans. They craved color, and designer Kristin Rocke responded in spades. Taking her inspiration from the surrounding landscape and sky, she punctuated the interior with bold hues and matched them with dramatic design elements. Photographer Scot Zimmerman snapped many photos of the home, and we’ve gathered some of those that didn’t make it into our print feature story. Prepare to be dazzled.
In the hands of interior designer Kristin Rocke, Inouye Design and Greg Young Construction, this new Promontory residence showcases striking architecture and a daring décor that animate the Park City home. “Our clients told me that they wanted to see color, they wanted to see drama,” Rocke explains. Mission accomplished.

With winter’s arrival, layering neutral tones and organic elements just comes naturally. Take your lead from designers who indulge on texture and nature’s offerings—wood, stone, textiles, wicker and more. The season has never felt so luxurious or livable.
In three words: Rustic, comfortable and clean-lined. That’s the look and feel LMK Interior Design principals Rion Locke and Richard Miller created for a mountain-ranch style home in Wolf Creek Ranch. The duo worked their magic with materials and treatments that are ”modern and rustic, dark and light, smooth and rough,” Miller explains.
In a Park City bedroom, natural textiles offer a sensory experience, creating the feel of being enveloped in luxurious comfort, designer Rachelle Johnson explains. “We love including shearling or Angora wool, mohair and bouclé fabrics to add that extra softness. Warm, dimmable lighting can replicate a firelight glow, casting evocative shadows on metal finishes, while subtle wall textiles can achieve a cocoon-ish ambiance.”
A woven basket, faux bois table, hide-covered stools and a large urn are the centerpiece of this wood-clad landing richly dressed by designer Caitlin Creer.
From ethereal draperies and layered rugs to plush furs and light-toned woods, designer Anne-Marie Barton’s curated material mix delivers luxury and visual depth to a suite’s ultra-chic sitting area.
In a Deer Valley bedroom, designer Danielle Hickman teamed neutral tones and subtle, natural textures with crystal lamps, white bedding, a faux-fur throw and “snow-like” art hung above an elongated, tufted headboard. “This room emulates winter luxury,” she says.
“We wanted a mountain modern vibe using a neutral and inviting pallet,” says designer Lindy Allen, owner of Four Chairs Furniture & Design. She infused the ski-in, ski-out cabin with elements that ramp up its cozy-factor: thick rugs, woven baskets, cushy pillows, warm wood tones and a lux throw. “It makes you want to snuggle in and relax.”
With woven throws and a tossed pillow or two, Becki Owens amps the cozy-factor of a quiet corner. “I like to pair texture with neutral furnishings to make a space feel more comfortable and homier,” she says.
“When we design a cozy space, we like to incorporate different variations of texture in fabrics, woods and stone to add physical comfort and visual interest to a space,” says Alder & Tweed designer Morgan Veenendaal. “Mixing elements and layering is key to making textural elements work.” In this Park City bunk room, she mixes everything—fabrics, furs, wood, wallpaper, and even carpet “to reveal a highly luxurious yet cozy and youthful space to enjoy.

Like many of nature’s creatures, your houseplants are enjoying an extended slumber during the winter season. And while you might start to notice foliage becoming sparse or dry, it’s actually plants’ way of saying: “Wake us up after Groundhog Day.” There are, however, some winter tasks for green-thumbed caretakers. Melinda Meservy, horticulturist and Thyme and Place shop owner, uses the word PAMPER to guide her wintertime houseplant care.
“You want to prune or remove anything that has been dying to allow for new growth,” Meservy says. By cutting damaged leaves and stems, your plant will efficiently conserve energy throughout the winter.
AERATE
When soil becomes too packed, it begins to repel water and plants are unable to pull nutrients out of the organic matter. Meservy suggests using a chopstick to gently lift and separate soil once a month.
MIST (OR NOT)
“Not all plants like to be misted,” Meservy explains. The key is to research where your houseplant evolved and try to recreate that environment. Ferns, monsteras and pothos appreciate an extra layer of moisture while succulents prefer to be left alone during the colder winter months.
PROVIDE LESS WATER
During their winter dormancy, plants don’t need nearly as much water. Scale back your watering schedule in accordance with each plant’s moisture needs. You should also refrain from fertilizing indoor foliage. “Fertilizing a plant during the winter is like trying to force somebody to eat when they’re asleep,” says Meservy.
ETCETERA
Etcetera involves keeping an eye out for common pests like spider mites and mealybugs that appear during the winter. “If you have pests, it usually means there has been some overwatering or there is no drainage,” she says.
REPOT
You don’t have to repot your plants each year, and some species prefer to stay root-bound. But as your plants begin to wake up from hibernation, offer them new soil in a spacious pot to boost spring growth.

Book-matched Panda marble slabs perform like art on the kitchen backsplashes.

The allure of hilltop living is at an all-time high, as is the number of those seeking a private sanctuary in Utah’s spectacular mountains and ski towns. A new house located in Park City’s Promontory resort community was created with them in mind. The 7,160-square-foot spec home was collaboratively designed by K. Rocke Design, Inouye Design and Greg Young Construction with Keller Luxury Homes. Together they conceived bold architecture, dramatic rooflines and expansive windows to define the modern structure and to connect it to the view-laden site. Inside the home, designer Kristin Rocke orchestrated the interior’s finishes and fixtures to fashion an understated modern-meets-mountain backdrop that would allow any prospective home buyer to infuse personal style into the décor.

Offering views of the scenic landscape, a hanging daybed by Dedon furnishes one of the home’s spacious decks.
Quiet white walls, a dry-stacked stone fireplace, light-toned wood floors and sedate countertop materials are among the elements Rocke used to concoct the sophisticated, low-key canvas. It created an ideal jumping-off point for the texture-rich, neutral décor many mountain dwellers crave for their hilltop residences. But for this property’s new owners, it inspired something much more spirited.
Views of blue skies and a rolling landscape balance the interior’s colorful accents. An artful ensemble of coffee tables—including charred wood, walnut and smoked glass-topped pieces—anchors the great room’s conversation area with rounded forms. The chandelier is by Kelly Wearstler and the club chairs are by Bernhardt.
“She’s a firecracker,” says Rocke of the big-personality client who purchased the house with her husband. “They both love to be energized and excited by their environments.” Rocke is no stranger to working with dazzling hues and punchy patterns, so when the couple asked her to amp up their new digs, she was ready to roll.
“The powder room is very high-drama and sexy,” says Rocke, who positioned a stone floating vanity above a lower level devised for storage. The wallpaper is by Phillip Jeffries, glass tile is by AKDO and the gold sconces are by Kelly Wearstler for Visual Comfort.
Empty nesters with grown children and grandchildren, the owners craved a bold design, with color and high drama for their family getaway. Beige was not on the wish list. “This house could have gone a lot of directions and been successful,” says Rocke, who liberally spun her color wheel to enliven the entire home. With such a serene decorative backdrop, you’d might think full-throttle color would feel out of place. Not so, Rocke insists. “A broad palette of bright, saturated colors holds well here because there is so much color in the sky and landscape.”
Picturesque mountain views inspired the primary bedroom’s saturated colors. Phillip Jeffries Longitude wallpaper pairs with draperies tailored in Whimsical, an embroidered watercolor fabric by Kravet.
A commissioned screen by artist Jimmi Toro doubles as a room divider and art installation in the lower-level family room. The expansive fireplace features a combed-plaster face, Cristallo quartzite surround and a terrazzo hearth that extends to form a floating bench. Detailed plaster work is by Iconography.
A ceiling covered with a zebra pattern crowns the lower-level powder room wrapped in Scalamandré’s fanciful zebra wallcovering. Obscured smoke glass doors and a marble countertop compose a vanity that floats below illuminated metallic wall tiles. Pendant light designed by Peter Bristol for Visual Comfort.
A mix of patterns, vivid colors and shapely forms enervates the main level’s open living spaces beneath a soaring butterfly ceiling clad in slatted poplar. In the living area, for example, vibrant vases and an array of splashy pillows accent larger color statements made by a curved, raspberry-hued console and shapely teal sofa. Rocke tempered the exuberance with hits of black showing up on everything from upholstered armchairs and charred wood coffee tables to a Kelly Wearstler chandelier and steel fireplace panels. “Black is a thread that helps hold the décor together,” Rocke explains.
A mix of angled and rounded forms fosters the interior’s layered look. A walnut console, stained in hot pink, pairs with a teal Vanguard sofa and custom pillows to deliver colorful statements to the living area.
In the nearby kitchen, black makes a jaw-dropping statement on new countertops and book-matched backsplashes rendered in Panda marble. Recessed lighting illuminates the walls’ striking stone. “It’s nature’s artwork,” Rocke says. Black recurs with thin, wire-framed pendant lights and the dining island’s weighty X table base. “A contrast in heavy and light elements prevents the black from being domineering,” the designer explains. Nearby, the dining area’s dazzling light fixture composed of crystal rods hangs above a dark table and a custom rug artfully crafted in rainbow-hued pieces of cowhide. “With an almost fragmented look, it picks up on the angles and colors of the décor,” Rocke says.

A crystal-rod chandelier makes a dazzling statement in the great room’s dining area. Rocke customized a Kyle Bunting rug featuring a fragmented design of multi-colored hide pieces. It accentuates the home’s angled architecture and color-charged décor.
The designer didn’t save all of the surprises for the main living areas—far from it. In the butler’s pantry located behind the kitchen, Rocke covered the walls in emerald faux bois wallpaper and dressed the windows with blinds of vibrant blooms on black. The powder room is no less eye-popping. “This is a more-is-more moment,” the designer explains. Gilded black wallpaper, shimmering glass tile and a floating, petrified wood stone vanity lead her list of scene-stealing players. “No surface went untouched,” she says.
A door conceals the pantry from the kitchen. When open, it offers views of the entire great room area.

Multi-colored bunny wallpaper animates the guest bathroom, where a light composed of blue and green handblown glass globes resembles bunches of grapes connected by fabric-covered swags. “We didn’t use a lot of restraint here,” Rocke jests. A teal-hued version of the same wallcovering dresses the adjoining bedroom. “Blue-greens are another thread that promote continuity throughout the home.” In the primary bedroom, an embroidered watercolor-like drapery fabric pairs with textured, multi-hued striped wallpaper to frame vast mountain scenery. “The views here are breathtaking,” Rocke says. And like a dialed-down take on the color-charged main-floor spaces, the lower level family room is equally detail-driven. Cristallo quartzite and combed plaster define the fireplace, Designers Guild pillows splash with color and a commissioned screen by artist Jimmi Toro performs like a space-defining art installation. “Screens are great at segmenting space and creating intimacy,” Rocke says. Not surprisingly, this one also delivers big personality, not unlike the countless other details and features that define the mountain home’s drama-driven design.
For the guest suite’s bedroom, Rocke chose Hunt Slonem’s Hutch in a turquoise-on-white variation. “Teal tones work well in mountain homes,” she explains.Designer Hunt Slonem’s Lucky Charm bunny pattern animates the guest bathroom’s walls.

When applied in creative and unexpected ways, rosy hues have us tickled pink. It should come as no surprise, after all the delicate color is universally tied with notions of romance, innocence and tenderness. So this Valentine’s Day, we are sharing the love with eight pink rooms pulled from our archives.
A Draper home commits to farmhouse flair in curated details and sweet style. Here, a soft baby pink dresses the cabinetry in the young girl’s bathroom. “We really had some fun here,” says interior designer Christie Lewis. A shapely brass mirror and patterned wallpaper pair with the pastel hue to give the space an air of maturity.
The owners of this rambler-style home craved materials and finishes that distinguished their forever house from others. “The owners didn’t want to clutter with art,” says designer Parker Lamborn of John Martine Studio. “Instead, they wanted the details to be the art of the house.” The eye for detail extended to every room of the home, including the laundry room where built-in cubbies receive a dressing of vivid coral.
This rose-colored dressing room is everything you’d expect from social-media sensation Rachel Parcell—timeless, feminine, stylish and yes, blushed with pink. “I wanted it to look like the inside of a posh, elegant boutique,” Parcell says.

It’s the time of year when I find myself thinking about warmer climates. Recently, Phoenix-area architect Eddie Jones and his brother Neal Jones were honored with the titles of FAIA, or Fellows of the American Institute of Architects, recognizing their outstanding contributions to the field of architecture. These photos were taken almost 25 years ago of a home Eddie built for himself and wife Lisa Johnson. It showcases the sustainable approaches he had been experimenting with the previous decade that are integral to the design, a design where he had the additional freedom of being his own client.
With his roots in organic architecture (ie. Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff), the place and building site are the best places to begin understanding the approach to the home’s design. The home sits at the edge of South Mountain Park in Ahwatukee, near Phoenix amid the harshly dry and perennially prickly Sonoran Desert on the last high road of a subdivision with the Ahwatukee chlorination tank just behind it. You can see two solid rammed earth walls run roughly parallel. They hide the views of the tank and the adjacent homes. On top is a butterfly roof resting a bit skewed from aligning to the walls, and the cylindrical forms of the neighboring tank repeat in the home design.
Jones calls the pedestrian approach from the street the entry sequence. It introduces the cylindrical forms in the steps and the rammed earth and masonry blocks that will appear in the home’s walls, as well as the natural desert landscaping that blends to the natural surroundings. The sequence is like a slow musical introduction to the home as one walks to the front door.
Arriving at the broad wooden pivot door, the outdoor entrance offers its own experience with the circular black concrete pad surrounded by sparkly cullet glass that gives the sense of a water feature without wasting any water. Above the door is a smokey piece of glass that flanges out like the fin of an iguana or other desert reptile. The cracks in the rammed earth suggest the element of time and erosion so evident in the desert.
Before we go inside the home, I want to walk you around the exterior. The roof is angled to a point where is eases into the sky. The gap between the roof and the rammed earth wall is glassed in to allow patterns of light and shadow inside. To the right is the cylinder, the same shape as the storage tank behind.
Rain fed by the V-shaped joinery of the butterfly roof is directed to the metal scupper, down the chain and to the holding tank beneath the rock garden, creating a sculptural element out of water-wise infrastructure.
Now, entering the home, the subdued light in the entrance creates the experience of cool shelter from the desert, like entering a Puebloan kiva or a cave.
An open living area occupies the main floor. An office is above, and the glass bridge walkway is seen to the left, a design where a skylight above shines through the glass of the walkway to bring natural light into the room. Lisa Johnson shows her skill with interior design in the furnishings and selections throughout the home.
The northeast side of the home is 40 feet of floor-to-ceiling glass looking up to the mountain view.
The corner by the piano shows how the design plays with uniting the inside and outside: the rammed earth wall continues outside past the glass, and the planter, filled with blue cullet glass similarly continues under and beyond the glass.
Here is a glimpse of the upstairs level. To orient you, the wooden stairs, shaped like surfboards, are to the right. The glass walkway, illuminated by the skylight above leads past Jones’s office.
As the sun sets, the glassed end of the home is reflected by the water in a metal stock tank, a beautiful reflection pool.
It is interesting to see a home that I shot 25 years ago on film. I appreciate the depth film gives to the images, but digital photography would have offered me so much more freedom. Because of the ability to layer images, with digital I can look out the windows as I show the interiors. This is especially important with homes whose design goal is to merge the outside and the interiors as a united whole, as with this home. I understand from talking to Eddie Jones that the natural desert landscape has matured and further unites the home with the site. I am sure it is spectacular.
Interior Stylist Noelle Wright artfully arranges photo-worthy moments in homes across the state. To add charm and personality to even the most modern homes, she suggests the following must-have home styling items.
Lighting is one of the most important elements to create a mood and feel in the room. You can put this little light anywhere and it brightens up a spot. Try it out somewhere unexpected, like a kitchen or bathroom countertop.
Place whatever is in bloom in your yard into this beautiful jar and use it as a table centerpiece, on your kitchen island or on an entry or coffee table. There are so many ways to go big and bring the outdoors in.
