Palm Beach Style is synonymous with vibrant colors, tropical charm, and a blend of classic elegance with playful whimsy. One of the hallmarks of Palm Beach style is an unabashed love for color where soft pastels meet bold splashes of coral, turquoise, and citrus hues, creating an atmosphere that is both welcoming and lively. Pattern play is also a key feature, with chinoiserie wallpaper, tropical floral prints, and classic cabana stripes working harmoniously to create an eclectic yet cohesive aesthetic. Vintage style rattan and bamboo furniture sit alongside contemporary upholstery and statement lighting, striking the perfect balance between nostalgic and fresh. Another signature of Palm Beach style is the seamless connection to lush, tropical landscapes, embracing light and airy drapery, and an abundance of greenery indoors. Potted palms, fresh orchids, and woven textures bring the beauty of the Florida coast inside, making every space feel like an extension of the surrounding paradise.
