PALOMA CONTRERAS INTERIOR DESIGN

Palm Beach has a well-defined, sophisticated aesthetic while maintaining a fun, old school sensibil-ity. “Green Gardens” is a direct reflection of the spirit of Palm Beach with a modern twist. Paloma set out to design a beautiful garden space but wanted it to feel a bit unexpected. She drew upon a fresh color palette of green and white to beckon the outdoors in. The tradition of treillage coupled with its more unexpected and exuberant execution feels quintessentially Palm Beach! She was also inspired by one of her design icons, Billy Baldwin, to whom they paid homage by using his iconic sofa silhouette along with a pair of custom-designed slipper chairs. Green Gardens is designed to play host to a variety of activities, from lounging with a great book in hand to trouncing one’s opponent in a friendly game of backgammon to enjoying a cocktail before hitting the town for dinner. Could anything be more timeless, chic, or so very Palm Beach?



TIFFANY BROOKS INTERIORS

The “Bloom Lounge” started as a vision of being playful and unexpected. In lieu of having an auxilia-ry bedroom that lies vacant the majority of the year, I wanted to take you to a place of Eden. When you enter, the modest square footage is conquered by an escapement of indulgence and imagina-tion. A muse for an artist or writer; a place to immerse yourself musically with the warmth and richness of a vintage record player, an opulent leather and brass-clad chaise lounge is suspended from the ceiling- taking your leisure to another level; literally and figu- ratively. The soul of Palm Beach nostalgia envelopes you while simultaneously leaving you with a feeling of complete delight. Every facet of this space has been extravagantly crafted to make this lounge an experience not just a room.

THE LEWIS DESIGN GROUP

The Closet Reimagined by The Lewis Design Group is a sar- torial sanctuary that inspires creativity, joy and rejuvenation. Inspired by the lush colors of Palm Beach, the defining element in this space is the hand-painted palm tree wallpaper by Aqualille. Barbara Lewis of The Lewis Design Group en-visioned this closet as the site of everything from zoom calls to a little cham- pagne pre-party to a serene morning ritual. The Closet Reimagined fully embraces the trend that we approach all spaces in the home in new ways that elevate our everyday. Wallpaper, win- dow treatments, antiques and fabulous fabrics make our clothes look better and heighten the experience of getting dressed each day (or just escaping for a moment of renewal in one’s own private sanctuary).

JANIE MOLSTER DESIGNS

Don your rose-colored glasses and take a plunge. Set against refreshing azure ripples, this pink-infused poolside retreat wel- comes guests into multiple vignettes that delight with a rosy, celebra-tory vibe. When friends and neighbors hear the splash- ing, they migrate over for chilled rosé, pink cosmopolitans, and to bask in the flattering glow of a retreat where reckless relax- ation is de rigueur. Whimsical pink umbrellas in varying pat- terns of hand-blocked Indian fabric provide a framework for welcoming poolside seating. Visit and linger in a welcoming space that defies easy categorization: think C.Z. Guest meets Lilly Pulitzer with a good dose of Miami’s South Beach edge. See you poolside!

BETH DIANA SMITH INTERIOR DESIGN

The Wonderland Dining Room is a whimsical, yet sophisti- cated dining space created to provide guests with an experience through layers of pattern, color, and texture. Beth Diana Smith had a goal to create a playful and refined space that marries beautiful details with conversation pieces, from textured wall- paper to velvet chairs to incorporating wildlife in subtle ways. This dining space is meant to be a bewitching backdrop for an evening of laughter, cocktails, and amazing food.

GODDARD DESIGN GROUP

The guest house living room was designed as a gathering place for friends and guests to relax, so-cialize or escape. I was inspired by the idea of a French salon and covered the walls in hand painted linen panels to add an unexpected layer of detail. I wanted the room to look as if it had evolved over time, so the space is punctuated with important antiques, custom uphol- stery and contempo-rary art. My signature style is timeless, el- egant spaces that tell a story with a bit of whimsy, and I created the perfect space to reflect who I am as a designer and a room in which anyone would feel comfortable and welcome
