The Arboretum Garden House

Tucked into the wooded privacy of Biltmore Forest, this Asheville renovation by ID.ology Interiors & Design blends timeless architecture with a spirited, layered interior. Vaulted, shiplap-clad ceilings and reclaimed hardwood floors set a quiet backdrop for bold moments of color — a hot pink chaise lounge, a citrus-orange wet bar, a jewel-toned butler’s pantry — each chosen to bring personality without overwhelming the home’s classic bones.

Throughout, the design balances old-world detail with everyday livability: brass fixtures and marble surfaces in the primary suite, a canopy bed dressed in floral chintz, and a light-filled kitchen anchored by a farmhouse sink and custom wood island. Outside, a resort-style pool and mature gardens extend the living space into the landscape, making this a home designed as much for entertaining as for quiet mornings among the trees.
