Two designer-furnished models have opened at Milano Lakes, a new luxury apartment community off Collier Boulevard in South Naples.
"The new furnished models represent two of our popular floor plans at Milano Lakes,” said Krys Hamilton, leasing specialist for Milano Lakes. “The homes offer visitors some ideas of how they might place their furniture in their new home, and, at the same time, they illustrate the luxury finishes in each apartment at Milano Lakes.”
The Bellisa model is a three-bedroom, two-bath design with a balcony. The master suite includes two walk-in closets and a private bath with a dual sinks and a large walk-in shower. Two bedrooms share a bath that opens to the hallway. The home features an island kitchen and a laundry room in the apartment. The Bellisa encompasses 1,439 square feet.
The Vera model has two bedrooms and two baths plus a balcony. In this design, the master suite offers two walk-in closets and a private bath with a tub/shower combination and dual sinks. The guest bedroom has access to a hall bath. There is an island kitchen and a laundry room in the apartment. The Vera has 1,159 square feet.
“The apartments at Milano Lakes include the features and the designs that are popular in single-family homes,” Hamilton said. “With furnishings in place, visitors can readily appreciate how spacious and luxurious the designs are.”
Milano Lakes offers four floor plans, ranging from a one-bedroom design with 808 air-conditioned square feet and 889 total square feet, to a three-bedroom apartment with 1,439 air-conditioned square feet and a total of 1,545 square feet.
Each unit includes laundry facilities, a master suite with a walk-in closet and dual sinks in the master bath, an island kitchen with a dining area, and a lanai. Elevators in each building make apartment access convenient.
Designed as an active community, Milano Lakes includes a 5,488-square-foot clubhouse that reflects the influence of Mediterranean architecture. Facilities include a resort-style swimming pool and pool deck complete with cabana stripe market umbrellas. The fitness center offers all of the most popular apparatus. The interior was created by Design Group West with architectural ceiling details and a custom designed entertainment wall. A special feature is a built-in banquette seating detail for lounging and conversations around a full-size pool table. A sports court rounds out the amenities.
Located on a 23-acre site, Milano Lakes will include 296 apartments in eight buildings when complete, offering one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. Within the community, 96 detached garages are planned.
Milano Lakes Apartments are located at 3713 Milano Lakes Circle, Naples. Online at www.milanolakes.com.

The bedroom should be a sanctuary where we allow ourselves the luxury of a peaceful and supremely comfortable space to wind down in after a hectic day.
Choosing the right mattress and bed frame is key to getting a good night's sleep, but this room often has to incorporate our wardrobes, dressing tables and shoe storage, all without looking cluttered.
Have you swapped hanging space for a hidden shoe rack? Or did choosing a divan bed mean you could banish bulky wardrobes and make room for a statement chair?
We want to recognise the hours, weeks and months you spent getting your bedroom space right for you and share your creative ideas to inspire millions of others.
So we’ve teamed up with home renovation and design platform Houzz to launch the first ever London Home Design Awards, and we're asking London's renters and home owners to send us their best makeover projects.
HOW TO ENTER
To enter the bedroom category, sponsored by Hästens and guest judged by the founder of Mr & Mrs Smith hotels Tamara Lohan, simply upload at least one image of your completed makeover or bedroom decorating project.
> CLICK HERE TO ENTER ALL CATEGORIES
Entries close at 12pm on June 8 2018. See Official Rules here.
HERE'S WHAT YOU COULD WIN
One winner per category will be picked by our expert judging panel and will win a £500 voucher to spend on Bang & Olufsen products and a £250 voucher to spend on Tom Dixon products in the Houzz Shop, plus a lamp-making workshop with Tom Dixon worth £250.
WE WILL MAKE YOUR HOME THE STAR
Each of the winning projects will be featured on Houzz and in the Evening Standard's Homes & Property section on Wednesday 4 July.
Share your entry on Instagram using #homedesignawards for a chance to be featured on @houzzuk and @eshomesproperty.
CREATING A BEDROOM THAT TICKS ALL THE BOXES
Fitted wardrobes and window seats are two of the most searched terms related to bedrooms on Houzz, showing how built-in storage can help bedrooms become serene, well-ordered spaces.
And, as more of us holiday more frequently, we seek to add a little bit of luxury inspired by the new generation of boutique hotels, with walk-in wardrobe and master bedroom also popular searches.
MEET THE JUDGES
We will be in touch with all shortlisted entrants to request more details to pass on to our judging panel, which includes the editors of Homes & Property and Houzz, Janice Morley and Victoria Harrison; design journalist Barbara Chandler, presenter of The Great Interior Design Challenge Daniel Hopwood, Richard MacRae of architecture design studio EDRM.
Our guest judges include celebrity food writer Rachel Khoo, Mad About The House author Kate Watson-Smyth, interior design duo Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead of 2LG Studio, the founder of Mr & Mrs Smith hotels Tamara Lohan and founder of The Balcony Gardener Isabelle Palmer.
Judging will take place on Monday 18 June in the exclusive and luxurious Lecture Room & Library at Sketch, London's most instagrammable design hotspot and restaurant.

May 20, 2018
It's graduation season and if you have a graduation party to plan and throw, that just adds to the general craziness of this time of year. It seems there's another event, especially if you're a parent of a graduate, every single night for weeks on end, leaving very little time to prepare for a very important party you're hosting yourself. If you're in that camp, you'll want to peek at these affordable decorating ideas for graduation parties that will make your grad feel celebrated.
Whether you're sprucing up a store bought cake with fresh flowers or creating a backdrop so the guests can take photos with graduation props, there's a ton you can create or buy for your upcoming graduation party that doesn't cost a lot. If you're marginally creative, you can make most of these things yourself, and if you're just totally short on time, there's a lot of options for you to click and order or pick up from a local store. It might feel like this season is going to get the best of you, but you can absolutely make this graduation party something more than typical and a lot more exciting for your graduate.
Here are some special projects and products that will help your graduate feel celebrated and impress your guests.
1Cupcake Toppers
Glitter cupcake toppers ($8, Etsy)
Cupcakes are some of the easiest and cheapest treats for a party, but they can also look a little boring. Make them look a little more festive with customized cupcake toppers. Whether you order them or DIY them, they're bound to liven up the dessert table.
2Photo Booth Backdrop
Of course, this generation appreciates a good photo backdrop from which to Snapchat and/or Instagram. Giving them a dedicated and gorgeous spot will definitely help the party stand out from the crowd. You can get as elaborate or minimal as you want with this.
3Photo Bunting
Photo bunting ($21, Etsy)
You can easily make photo bunting for the cost of some string, some mini clothespins, and printed photos. The hardest part is choosing what photos best represent the life of your graduate!
4Spruce a Grocery Store Cake
Many grocery stores now offer the option for a tiered naked cake for a very reasonable cost. They'll even add on fresh flowers if you provide them, making for a beautiful statement dessert for the party.
5Grade Photo Banner
Grade photo banner ($18, Etsy)
If you or your kid is graduating from high school, this is banner is an excellent way to see how your graduate has changed over the years in the same type of photo. And really, everyone loves a throwback, so this one will totally be fawned over.
6Photo Booth Props
Photo booth props ($15, Etsy)
This specific set is perfect for a graduation party. Time to adult couldn't be more true right about now!
But of course any type of photo booth prop would be a hit, because they're just fun.
7Confetti Balloons
Confetti balloons ($7 for 20 balloons, Amazon)
Not regular balloons, confetti balloons. That's what your party needs. Order these from Amazon and borrow a helium tank from a friend or have them blown up at your local grocery store. They'll probably charge you next to nothing for the helium.
8Smart Cookie Favors
This little favor project from Studio DIY is as sweet as can be. She used a Cricut machine, but you could easily use an Xacto knife and cut out a whole bunch of these free printables while watching a few episodes of Brooklyn 99.
9Photo Booth Frame

For $9 and free shipping with Amazon Prime, you definitely don't need to try to DIY this cute photo booth prop. It's adorable and your grad can have it in her room for the whole summer to remember her fab party!
10Graduation Punch
I don't know why more parties don't feature punch. It's almost always surprisingly delicious, it's easy to whip together, and it's way better for the environment than individual bottles of water or Coke (so long as you use recyclable paper or plastic cups, not styrofoam). My grandma's recipe always involved adding a gallon of sherbet ice cream at the end and tasted like Creamsicles.
11Diploma Cookies
Pepperidge Farm Pirouettes ($5, Target)
This no-bake, no-effort recipe has two steps. First, buy Pepperidge Farm Pirouettes at the grocery store (any tube-shaped cookie will work). Second, tie ribbons around them as though they're diplomas. Too. Easy.
12Rubber Ducky Graduates
Rubber ducky graduates, $9 for a dozen, Amazon
If you're making punch for your graduation party, float a few of these rubber ducky graduates in the mixture. It's sure to make people scoop twice!
A sophisticated resort lifestyle is offered within the recently completed clubhouse at Milano Lakes, a new luxury apartment community off Collier Boulevard in South Naples.
"Milano Lakes is designed to encourage an active lifestyle with an abundance of opportunities for physical activities and social gatherings," said Krys Hamilton, leasing specialist for Milano Lakes. "Our new residents will find the clubhouse the centerpiece of community life offering a variety of wonderful amenities."
The clubhouse at Milano Lakes is a 5,488-square-foot building that reflects the influence of Mediterranean architecture. Facilities include a resort-style swimming pool and pool deck complete with cabana stripe market umbrellas. The well-equipped fitness center offers all of the most popular apparatus.
The interior was created by Design Group West with architectural ceiling details and a custom designed entertainment wall. A special feature is a built-in banquet seating detail for lounging and conversations around a full-size pool table. A sports court rounds out the amenities.

Occupants may choose from four floor plans, ranging from a one-bedroom design with 808 air-conditioned square feet and 889 total square feet, to a three-bedroom apartment home with 1,439 air-conditioned square feet and a total of 1,545 square feet.
