At J. Lynn Design Group, Naples’ premier luxury interior design firm, is proud to announce our ASID Excellence in Design Award for Best Residential Color Design for the breathtaking Chateau Azure residence.
This prestigious honor celebrates our masterful use of Benjamin Moore's Paper White (OC-55), a sophisticated white with a whisper of blue-gray that brings a crisp, luminous quality to every space it graces. Luxury Interior Design in Naples, FL
Why Benjamin Moore's Paper White (OC-55) Won
For its Remarkable versatility, timeless appeal, and sophisticated undertones.
Unlike stark whites, Paper White (OC-55) has a subtle blue-gray base that prevents it from feeling sterile, making it the perfect neutral shade for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Its ability to adapt to different lighting conditions ensures a consistently fresh, clean look throughout the day.
The Award-Winning Naples Design:
Located in the heart of Naples, Florida, this project exemplifies luxury interior design at its finest. The grand salon’s Paper White (OC-55) walls create a gallery-like backdrop for custom art and a polished nickel wine bar, while the dining room’s 3D wood surround and Hickory White Furniture chairs blend modern artistry with timeless elegance.
Why This Design Stands Out:
Naples’ Signature Style: Coastal sophistication meets European craftsmanship.
Benjamin Moore’s Paper White (OC-55): The perfect neutral for luxury Naples homes, adapting seamlessly to Florida’s natural light.
Award-Winning Details: From the Old Biscayne Designs coffee table to the Wired Custom Lighting chandelier, every element was curated for excellence.
The Grand Salon

A Study in Contrast and Elegance
The grand salon welcomes guests with walls painted in Paper White (OC-55), creating a pristine canvas that allows the room's architectural details and custom art installations to shine. The clean, fresh backdrop sets the stage for a breathtaking focal point—an oversized, custom-designed art piece that commands attention.
Adjacent to this, a luxurious wine bar with polished nickel accents by Lisa Jarvis and rich wood tones adds a touch of refined opulence, proving that even the most functional spaces can be works of art.
The Dining Room:

Where Texture Meets Drama
In the dining room, a three-dimensional wood surround frames an exquisite wallcovering, creating depth and visual intrigue.
This textured backdrop perfectly complements a striking metal mesh wall sculpture, which adds a modern, artistic edge to the space.
The furnishings—elegant dining chairs by Hickory White Furniture, a sculptural chandelier by Wired Custom Lighting, and a sleek drinking table from Vanguard Furniture—harmonize to create a space that is as sophisticated as it is inviting.

The Family Room:

Warmth and Clever Design
Designed for both comfort and functionality, the family room features a stone fireplace that anchors the space with organic warmth. Cleverly designed wood slat walls conceal hidden storage, maintaining a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. Plush seating, including a sumptuous sofa by Burton James, is arranged around a coffee table by Old Biscayne Designs, while ambient lighting from John Richards lamps and Hammerton Studio sconces adds a warm glow.
The Kitchen: Luxury Interior Design in Naples FL
A Seamless Blend of Old and New
The kitchen showcases a perfect marriage of existing architecture and new custom elements.
A high-gloss white range hood with polished nickel strapping serves as the room's centerpiece, while the blue-gray custom island with polished nickel accents introduces a touch of understated luxury.
New quartz countertops and a stylish backsplash complete the transformation, and exposed wood beams overhead add warmth, balancing the cool tones of the faux marble porcelain tile flooring.
The Master Suite: Luxury Interior Design in Naples

A Sanctuary of Style
In the master bedroom, a full-height chevron upholstered bed takes center stage, its intricate detailing softened by neutral tones. Crisp white molding contrasts sharply with the bed's texture, creating a sleek, tailored look. A strategically placed mirror behind the nightstand—flanked by John Richards lamps—enhances natural light, making the room feel even more spacious and airy.
