Past Palm Beach show houses have embraced the region’s iconic design elements—pink and green, seashells, and palm fronds. This year, the 23 designers who created the eighth annual Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse, a 1937 brick home in the Providencia Park neighborhood set directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, pushed the boundaries further. Some of the best ideas in it are details, like a leather-wrapped bathtub by Laure Nelle Interiors and marble-trimmed door by Marie Cloud of Indigo Pruitt Design Studio that would look at home anywhere, not just in South Florida.
Rajni Alex’s hostess storage and Meg Lonergan’s use of outdoor fabrics also caught our eye. We appreciated how designer Mally Skok channeled the non-vacation side of South Florida. The Moniomi Design team brought a playful, artful energy to the house, drawing inspiration from their Miami roots.
