Design inspired by the Mountains: How to Achieve a Mountain Modern Aesthetic in your Home
This sophisticated yet approachable upscale style is ideal for the Sandpoint area, where inspiration can be drawn from the surrounding mountain ranges. To achieve the mountain modern aesthetic, designers and homeowners translate the tones of nature inspired color palettes with a minimalist but warm decor.
Natural Textures and Colors Selections
- Select Natural Fabrics: Leathers and hide-on-hair fabrics for chairs, stools, accent chairs, and pillows.
- Metal Accents: Black steel windows and doors, as well as hardware and metal beams are ideal.
- Natural Wood: Natural wood shines in combination with metal touches. Consider natural wood for cabinetry, or wood paneling on select accent walls.

Happy Homeowners at The Idaho Club
We are so happy to share this review from one of our clients and friends at The Idaho Club. Thank you for your kind words!
“We love our Fairway Home! The team provided valuable guidance from helping with our lot selection all the way down to exterior paint colors. Every step of our entire first home-build experience was professionally done with transparency and efficiency.
The materials used and the methodology of construction are of the highest standards and we even came in under budget. There were many decision points along the way and the team always provided helpful recommendations and found resourceful solutions, if needed. We have been in our Fairway Home almost two years and continue to appreciate the high quality and beautiful craftsmanship that will last for generations.”
