When interior designer Sheri Kesten took on the task of styling this 7,000-square-foot home that hugs the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway in Delray Beach, Fla., she did so with the clients’ love of color and their request for blue to be the pervasive palette in mind. “I designed everything with the water as the major inspiration for this project,” Kesten says. “This home had the ‘wow’ factor right away. The colors of the water, the sunrise and the sunset … all inspired this scheme that exudes both calm and energy.” “This home had the ‘wow’ factor right away,” interior designer Sheri Kesten says. “The colors of the water, the sunrise and the sunset … all inspired this interior scheme that exudes both calm and energy.” Given carte blanche by…

STRIKING A BALANCE between luxury and relatability isn’t always easy to accomplish. This homeowner’s dream home falls somewhere between the two. She was looking for contemporary comfortable elegance — a vision that embodies a monochromatic color scheme that is still inviting and warm. Having searched for many of the home’s embellishments herself, the owner worked very closely with interior designers Laila Colvin and Rafaela Simoes to bring her vision to life. Situated in Hallandale Beach, Fla., in the upscale neighborhood of Golden Isles, the 6,712-square-foot waterfront home features an open-air plan heightened by soaring 24-foot ceilings, and accented with stone, wood and marble elements. In the living area, a voluminous Carrara marble wall is accented with LED lighting. The custom area rug took four months for the team to design.…

LITTLE SARASOTA BAY SETS the stage for this couple’s dream home on Siesta Key in Sarasota, Fla. The main design objective was to create a casually elegant space ideal for waterfront entertaining with a seamless transition from inside out. The owners had no preconceived ideas of what they wanted for the exterior of their 8,138-square-foot home, so residential designer Rick Oswald unleashed his architectural magic. “I like the Balinese style because this was to be an island retreat appropriate for the site where the water comes right up to the house,” says Oswald of the home’s peninsular setting. “It’s surrounded almost 360 degrees by water with a 50-foot-wide land passage to Siesta Key.” The beauty of the Balinese style is that the architecture is in total harmony with its environment.…

In one seating area of the living room, statement lamps from Antiqueria Tribeca top a pair of high-gloss walnut Liaigre chests. A mixed-media world map adds a pop of color above an ivory hued sofa.

Such is the case with this luxurious 6,500-square-foot home in Palm Beach.

As is the case with all of Key West-based, Craig Reynolds Landscape Architecture projects, the firm’s goal is to create a garden that feels as though it is an extension of the interior or another room within the home. For this residence, indoor/outdoor living was a priority, and each part of the garden needed to feel as if it had a function. In keeping, architect Haven Burkee, partner at Bender & Associates, designed clean open lines within the home that are reflected by the clean lines and repetition of patterns throughout the garden. Founded on a passion for design excellence, Craig Reynolds Landscape Architecture provides meticulous attention to detail. Projects range from classic to contemporary. The firm’s philosophy is each garden is a work of art and should invite visitors…

“The creation of my series, Reflections of My Soul, has been a work in progress for close to 50 years. I have been striving to find, create, fully understand, write about and photograph my observations of my fellow man and the universe as I understand it to be. It has been a long and arduous project, often frustrating but always exciting and fascinating because of the long and winding road and the challenges which often lay hidden under a few inches of dirt, much like an enemy booby trap. The filtering out of each image, the essence of my desire, then to reproduce that in a format which is both attractive and reflective of what I understand that to be, is a continuous battle which hopefully I will win more…

WHEN PREVIOUS CLIENTS OF DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE firm Workship/APD asked principal Andrew Kotchen to “update” the interior of their 10,000-square-foot Palm Beach home, the project turned out to be a full interior renovation. The firm had also recently renovated the couple’s Nantucket home and was pleased to do the same in Palm Beach. In studying the one-story home, originally built in 1988, Kotchen and his team wanted to celebrate the home’s beautiful bones while modernizing the interior and connecting it to the exterior. The home, which Kotchen describes as a “well-proportioned white modernism,” had dark wood interiors and moldings that the design team paired back to a more streamlined contemporary look to harmonize with its original architecture. “My intention was to give the interior spaces more life and create a…

As a Florida State licensed interior designer for many years, Perla Lichi has experienced the gamut of client expectations vs. reality. She believes the internet and cable TV, combined with the proliferation of online retailers, have contributed to many misconceptions. Here’s why she thinks you should hire a professional. 1 Design is not as easy as the cable shows make it seem. 2 It’s not as inexpensive as some vendors would have you think, and money wasted on mistakes can be very costly. 3 Design takes more time than the cable shows make it seem. 4 Visualizing the finished product in your mind is not adequate for achieving great results. 5 Selecting items simply because you like them doesn’t mean they are the right choices for your spaces. 6 Design…

DOWNSIZING DOES NOT DIMINISH DETAIL AS INTERIOR designer Joe Fava and his team skillfully demonstrate with this stunning design of a bright, coastal 3,700-square-foot condominium. Boasting exquisite finishes, this home sits on the border of Jupiter and West Palm Beach, Fla. Ready to step away from maintaining a larger home, Fava’s client was looking for a manageable, lock-and-go residence and she fell in love with the condo’s stunning Intracoastal water views. With this new opportunity to completely change her design aesthetic, the homeowner commissioned Fava to turn her vision of a serene, ethereal space into a reality. “I encourage clients to push the limits of their comfort zone,” interior designer Joe Fava says. “Clients enjoy working with me because they have confidence that I will deliver a finished product that…
