During the winter months, those looking to escape the gray doldrums descend on Palm Beach. Known for its blue skies, sea breezes, and verdant hedges, the resort town is beloved for its manicured perfection and civilized charm. When it comes to design, there is a distinctive Palm Beach style that defines the interiors of this coastal enclave. With our interiors, we strive to design with a sense of place. What, exactly, does tropical decor entail? Everyone wants to feel at ease and comfortable, and often we infuse rooms with print and pattern. It’s just happy. Think airy and bright spaces punctuated by vibrant color, and flora and fauna motifs on printed fabrics and wallpapers. Lattice, another distinctive design detail, has a dimensional trellis pattern that can add an architectural element to walls.
Verdant palm leaf prints and zingy florals bring the outdoors in, instantly adding whimsy and flair to any space. Color, specifically pink and green, has become Palm Beach camouflage. The iconic color pairing is reminiscent of the 1960s when Lily Pulitzer shift dresses were the rage. And here, nostalgia is all part of the charm. To imbue a space with a breezy feel, we often use natural textures and organic materials. From rattan furniture to caning and grasscloth wallpaper, lighter woven materials lend a casual air. Whether using these various elements together or individually, the Palm Beach aesthetic can be subtle or bold and is sure to make every day feel like a perfect day in paradise.
