In Las Vegas, where the line between indoor and outdoor living is often blurred by stunning architecture and year-round sunshine, creating a seamless transition between your home’s interior and exterior spaces is more than a design choice—it’s a lifestyle upgrade.

This is an old fashioned room, from the plates on the wall to the furniture and accessories. But the ceiling is daring and takes the space out of great-grandma’s house to a bedroom that would work in an expensive country inn.
Look up. Are your ceilings white and forgotten? Next time you redo a room, work with all six sides of your box.
