Susan Hersker, ASID, is one of the Scottsdale-area’s finest interior designers. With associate Elaine Ryckman, Allied ASID, she recently completed this dual-master home in a north Scottsdale golf community for the retirement-focused owners. Featuring a large open living area with automated pocketing doors to outdoor areas for mingling and entertaining, the home combines complementary textures: stacked-stone walls, honed-stone floors, polished-stone countertops, metals such as patinaed steel and copper, art glass, exotic woods and opulent fabrics such as silk, mohair and calfskin. These, combined with the warm wood colors and neutral-colored floor, dramatically backdrop the furniture, which blends shades of beige, taupe, eggplant, expresso and ivory.
