The Home on the Range design philosophy is that your home should be a place where you can create and preserve family traditions. Their goal is to help you design a space where you not only tell your family history, but where you can also make it.
Lynne Barton Bier and her staff of designers recognize that their clients are gravitating to the west to get away from the constraints of demanding lifestyles. They are looking for a place to relax and to gather with friends and family. Bier says, “One of the key elements in selecting the finishes and furnishings for each home is to continually look for, and blend, products that are unique and not trendy. We mix pieces from different countries and time periods, yet integrate up to date technology so our clients can stay in touch with the ‘outside world.’ Our ultimate goal is to create a timeless home that will be enjoyed by many generations to come.”
Many people who come to Steamboat are drawn to the individuality and pioneer spirit that are the trademarks of the west. Reflecting this individuality is the key to client-driven design. Some of Home on the Range’s clients are attracted to the cowboy lifestyle and want to create homes that embody the heritage of the old west. Other clients are drawn to the mountains and wildlife that surround their home. They want their home to feel more akin to an old mountain lodge. Still others want to break away from tradition with a more contemporary interpretation of the west.
As diverse as their clients’ visions are, the designers at Home on the Range identify some overlapping elements in western design. One of the common threads in western design is the desire for comfort and the need to feel like one can “put their feet up on the coffee table.” From the most refined to the most rustic of homes, the client’s desire for their home to feel cozy and inviting is universal. Clients want an escape where they can relax and feel rejuvenated. “Our role is to create interior finishes and furnishings that work together to achieve each of our client’s visions,” Bier said. The use of subtle touches to make a big impact, while creating a comfortable, cozy home, is the trademark of the Home on the Range design staff.
