Lush Fabrics and Textures

Elevate the comfort factor with lush fabrics and textures. Opt for plush linens, soft cottons, and natural materials that exude an air of laid-back luxury. Incorporate needlepoint cushions and patterned blankets in lively patterns that mirror the tropical flora and fauna found in Palm Beach, like banana leaves and palm prints to bring the outdoors in.

Chic Coastal Accents:

The devil is in the details, and Palm Beach style is no exception. Integrate chic coastal accents such as seashell-inspired decor, coral motifs, and bamboo elements. A big trend this year will be sea inspired decor so think bold seascape murals teamed with a strong punchy stripe. 

These subtle nods to the coastal environment will transport you to the tranquil shores of Palm Beach without leaving the comfort of your home.

Elegant Furniture Choices:

Selecting the right furniture is crucial to achieving the Palm Beach look. Opt for pieces that marry comfort with sophistication – plush patterned sofas, elegant dining sets, and statement-making accent cocktail chairs. Wicker and rattan furniture, in particular, are quintessential Palm Beach choices that effortlessly merge style and relaxation. I’m particularly drawn to lacquered bamboo furniture right now which just epitomises the glamour of Palm Beach.

Reflect the glamour of Palm Beach by incorporating mirrored surfaces and metallic accents.
