Romanza Interior Design wins nine coveted Sand Dollar Awards

Romanza Interior Design, a luxury full-service boutique firm in Naples, was honored with nine Sand Dollar Awards for its designs of a custom private residence in Quail West and a showcase estate in Old Naples. The awards include Best Interior Design of the Year, Best Specialty Feature and Best Master Suite for each home.

Presented annually by the Collier Building Industry Association, the Sand Dollar Awards program recognizes the region’s top homebuilders, interior designers, architects and other industry leaders. The awards, judged by industry experts, were announced during the organization’s annual gala. 

“It’s always an honor to be recognized by our peers as one of the best interior design firms in the region,” said Steve Miller, chief operating officer for Romanza Interior Design. “We are proud to partner with the area’s top homebuilders, developers and, of course, our private clients who trust us to make their dreams a reality.” 

Romanza’s design for a showcase estate at 477 3rd Street N. in Old Naples earned five Sand Dollar Awards in the $16,000,001 to $21 million category, including Best Interior Design, Best Kitchen Design, Best Master Suite and two for Best Specialty Features for its custom study and powder room. It’s the second time the home has been honored, having recently won Grand Aurora Awards during the 12-state Southeast Building Conference for Best Kitchen and Best Master Bathroom. 

Created by Jennifer Stevens, Romanza’s senior design director, the 5,483-square-foot showcase estate seamlessly blends luxurious interior design with unparalleled livability, quality and bespoke craftsmanship. Its high-end contemporary aesthetic is elevated by custom Poliform cabinetry, a glass-entry study and showstopping kitchen balanced by organic silhouettes and a palette of taupe and warm earth tones with rich navy, black, brass, bronze and deep copper, plus elm, walnut and texture for depth and richness. Capturing a resort-at-home vibe, the estate offers nearly 1,700 square feet of covered outdoor living connected by meandering trellises.  

The fully furnished estate built by London Bay Homes is available for immediate occupancy. 

Romanza Interior Design also earned four Sand Dollar Awards for Melissa Allen’s design of a custom private residence in Quail West. The home won awards for Interior Design of the Year, Best Outdoor Living Area, Best Master Suite and Best Specialty Feature for its custom bar. Allen, senior interior designer at Romanza, collaborated with her clients to create a home emphasizing family, entertaining and outdoor living, helping them discover a clean transitional aesthetic. 

The overall impact is one of refined warmth and understated elegance conveyed by a neutral color palette accented in select rooms with aquamarine, copper, surf, antique gold, chartreuse and hints of chocolate brown. The residence offers a living room with a piano lounge, a separate family room with a custom bar, four ensuite guestrooms designed with the clients’ children in mind, a billiards room in the second-floor loft and expansive outdoor areas, including the main lanai, patios off the master suite and study, a garden courtyard and a large balcony. 

Envisioned as a bespoke furniture piece, the bar enhances entertaining and appears as a custom inset rather than a separate addition in the family room. The residence’s private master suite, imagined as a private retreat, displays the client’s favorite color – chartreuse – paired with hints of antique brass and white backdrops.  

The Sand Dollar Awards underscore Romanza Interior Design’s expertise in delivering exceptional design that blends aesthetics, functionality and the unique desires of discerning clientele.
