The award-winning interior designers at Romanza Interior Design ensure they capture the spirit of each homeowner using innovative ideas and techniques, but when they create designs for luxury model homes, they are able to express their own vision for the home. This allows them to create an interior design that will not only make the home exquisite, but draw the attention of prospective homeowners seeking an elegant and sophisticated home in beautiful Southwest Florida.
At the 39th Annual Aurora Awards competition presented by the Southeast Building Conference (SEBC) and the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA), Romanza Interior Design was awarded for their efforts with multiple Grand and Silver Aurora Awards recognizing several Naples FL homes.
The SEBC is the largest building industry trade show in the southeast and honors architectural design, interior design, and planning excellence for companies throughout the Southeastern U.S. and Eastern Caribbean. Nearly 400 entries in 61 categories were considered within the 12-state region stretching west to Texas and Louisiana, north to Virginia and also including the eastern Caribbean. The designers at Romanza Interior Design were thrilled to share the stage with Southwest Florida home builder, London Bay Homes, to accept awards for three of their luxury model homes.
