Where good design goes, so goes the DLN. So, as Palm Beach is abuzz with the opening of its premier design event, the Palm Beach outpost of the prestigious Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse, it’s no surprise that the DLN community is well-represented. This year’s iteration of the showhouse—the seventh in Palm Beach— featured a whopping eight DLN Member design firms and many more Partners supporting the whirlwind renovation of an 8,589 house in the newly-dubbed “SoSo” neighborhood, an up-and-coming section of West Palm Beach.

Read on to see a peek of the DLN community’s work at the house, and better yet, if you’re in Palm Beach, swing by to see it in person (click here for tickets).

Redmond Aldrich Design

San Francisco-based Redmond Aldrich Design, helmed by Member Chloe Warner with Design Director Member Taylor Shanahan, turned a drab terrace space into an enchanting tented “Peony Pavilion.”

“Iwas  channeling an imaginary 1970s Sofia Coppola in PB, inspired by my grandmother and loungin’, playing cards, being in the shade, having a bev,” says Chlow. The space also marks the debut of RAD Goods, her studio’s new product line: The pavilion is tented in hundreds of yards of her debut fabric, whose pattern was painted by Chloe herself (color-matched with Benjamin Moore’s Weeping Willow). Peel-and-stick tiles from House of Mirth give the appearance of a patinated stone floor.

Ariel Okin Interiors

For her spacious terrace, Ariel Okin looked to the work of two icons of tropical decor for inspiration: John Volk and Oliver Messel. She swathed the exterior walls in trellis in Messel’s signature green, which is offset by textural sisal furniture—and an artful handpainted ceiling by Joseph Steiert.

Betsy Wentz Interior Design

Betsy wanted to create a space where people would sit and lounge for awhile—and, judging by the scene there on opening day, she very much succeeded. Originally a transition space between Ariel’s terrace and the primary suite, the hallway became an inviting parlor with the addition of a wet bar and custom corner banquette, whose bright colors were dictated by the Sophie Robinson for Harlequin wallpaper.

Megan Gorelick Interiors

“We have two rooms for the same ‘girl,'” explains Megan. “She’s the lady of the house and is a bit crazy! The first room is called De-loo-loo—it’s a play on words, as in the loo but our girl is delusional! We went to London in the fall with Christopher Farr Cloth and toured their facilities and were blown away with their capabilities: they custom colored an existing pattern Belle de Nuit in pink and red and light blue for us, which we used on the walls, window treatments, lampshades, AND Dunes & Duchess did a resin countertop with it. Our inspo was from fashion—red is having a moment now!”

“Kohler provided all of the plumbing including the fabulous tub, which we had flower bombed by Carlos Muina, the creative director of Petal Productions. He steamed tumbleweeds and had them painted a light blue to give the illusion of water.”

 

“We turned the closet into a ‘gimme a minute’ room where our girl goes to escape her family. It has everything she needs: a custom daybed in a tiger print with custom pillows; she lounges in here and has everything ‘handed’ to her from the plaster hands on the wall which hold her martini, caviar, cake, eye mask and makeup!”

The rooms also serve as the debut for Megan’s new lighting collection from Wildwood Home.

Nadia Watts Interior Design

“My design vision for the Lively Loggia was to welcome guests with vibrant colors against the white walls and columns,” says Nadia. “And you will find unexpected decor elements upon approach like the monkeys that cheerfully greet you from 13 ft ceilings in the Mario Lopez Torres Chandelier from Circa Who and tabletop accessories from Casa Branca to a playful yellow sculpture by Timothy Carter. To the left and right, two comfortable and colorful groupings of Brown Jordan furniture including the iconic Walter Lamb aluminum rocking chair. And bright pillows in Sanderson and Kravet fabrics are accented with Samuel and Sons trims. One-of-a-kind hand-woven rugs from Rugs and Kilim add warmth to the sitting areas. The containers from Sutherland Furniture hold beautiful Calamansi trees and the art above the sofa is by Leisure Piece.”

 

“From the Lively Loggia, you enter the home into the Jeweled Gallery, which takes its inspiration from Tiffany Studios Glass, founded by Louis Comfort Tiffany, my great-great grandfather. You are welcomed with a 28-foot custom rug by Retorra that boasts center medallions modeled after an oval brooch from the Tiffany & Co Archives. The linking design brings curves and movement to the linear room.”

Donna Mondi Interior Design

Donna Mondi looked to one notorious dapper man for her gentleman’s bathroom: “We reimagined the primary bath and dressing room into the ultimate retreat for the international man of mystery, where James Bond sheds his tough exterior and recharges in a space designed for sophistication and intrigue,” she says. “This 007-inspired primary bath and dressing room seamlessly blend bold design with luxurious comfort.”

Donna turned to Materials Bespoke Stone + Tile to conceive two oversized stone vanities, then ran their Nero and Azul marble in a striped pattern across the floors and up the floating wall for a dramatic, graphic effect.

Jonathan Savage Design

“I was inspired to create a multi-use space that could be used for lounging, entertaining or working. Color blocking, textural contrast, and the unexpected interplay of furniture forms bring dimension,” says Jonathan. “I embraced the 13 foot ceiling height with an over-sized Currey & Company light fixture that draws the eye up, complemented by fluted moldings on the focal wall for a statement making moment.”

Jonathan’s space also served as the backdrop for announcing his debut book, coming this summer from Gibbs-Smith.

Marc-Michaels Interior Design

When faced with the imposingly spacious living room, the team at Marc-Michaels Interior Design—including new Member Mark Tremblay—looked to textural rugs and fabrics, sculptural furniture, and lots of layers (including a near ceiling-height screen covered in Arte fabric) to bring warmth.
