2024 Trends From the Kips Bay Designer Show House in Palm Beach

Small bathrooms are the places to experiment—so why not go all pink with a statement print? Megan Gorelick Interiors worked with Christopher Farr Cloth to create a vivid custom version of the Belle de Nuit pattern, applying it to the walls and using it for lampshades, curtains, and even the countertop (where it’s encased in resin).

Inspired by an immersive, hand-painted de Gournay wallcovering, Tristan Harstan’s dining room casts Palm Beach in a new light. The tropical mural in traditional blue and white is refreshing and elegant, especially when paired with the Scalamandré fabric on the chair backs, Paul Ferrante palm chandelier, and shimmering Thibaut wallpaper on the ceiling.

Master kitchen designer Jim Dove turned classic palm motifs and regency-style cabinetry on their head. Inspired by the iconic Dorothy Draper and the ocean just steps away, Dove pulled unexpected colors into the kitchen, painting the custom cabinetry in a subtle pale pink and covering the walls in a striking Gracie Studio wallcovering.

McCann Design Group and Hive Designs melded the tropical essence of Palm Beach with the glamour of the 1930s in the family room, where hand-carved palmetto palms repeat on the facade of a plaster bar. Vintage rattan and bamboo accents bring even more natural texture.

Charlie Collins of Melrose Interiors went organic (and local) by incorporating palms in the stairway hall. Pressed plants and blooms foraged locally by Anne Blackwell line the space in a gallery installation. On the opposite wall (not pictured here), a wall mural by local artist Devin Noel features a native palm species.

Mother-daughter duo Cindy Rinfret and Taylor Stebbins of Rinfret, Ltd., wanted this bedroom to feel “like stepping inside your own shell and finding the pearl.” They worked with local artist Robin Grubman to embellish the bed canopy with shellwork and adorned the room with custom de Gournay panels of hand-embellished, hand-painted seashells.

Helen Bergin dreamed up an ocean fantasy for the indoor-outdoor cabana bath, where embellished jellyfish swim across the walls and a custom resin sink by Atta evokes the joy of the sea. A jellyfish-inspired window treatment by The Shade Store leads outside to an aquatic wonderland lounge complete with a tentacle Massimo light fixture and coral wall appliqués.

Trellises and lattices—used indoors and out—are key elements of the Palm Beach design style. Inspired by a midnight garden rather than the usual Florida sun, Phoebe Howard let latticework sprawl across the 15-foot-high ceiling and door frames in the main bedroom, grounding the romantic wallpaper.

The plaid-inspired lattice on the ceiling of this lounge is incredibly intricate, with individual pieces all painted in different colors. It was conceived by DüVal to echo the Colefax and Fowler–upholstered ottomans and created by Fuller Architectural Panels.
