Interior Inspiration

Get Inspired: A Dreamy Fort Lauderdale Summer Home

May 11, 2022
  • Share

Today’s interior inspiration is all about the perfect summer home. I discovered it last week while waiting at the airport. You all know I love doors. It’s one of my weaknesses in architectural design. And this door is blue! So I had to take a look inside this home. I’m happy I did!

The Florida residence was designed by Jake Arnold. He helped design this home for a Palm Beach hotel developer. The exterior features stucco-clad and a stepped roof. The owner wanted it to mimic Bermudian architecture. I would never want to leave this gorgeous pad. See more rooms below.

The first room is an open kitchen connected to the dining area. It features natural materials and a pop of blue to give a coastal feel. The white beam ceiling adds dimension and some drama.

Another look at the kitchen. It features soft blue cabinetry around the island and wood paneling around the range. Arnold chose to recess the cabinet doors for a cleaner look.

The green dining room features a wallpaper mural. A common decor trend you will see in this home is dramatic pendant lights. The dining room light is by Stephen Antonson.

The breakfast nook off the kitchen is a custom linen-covered banquette. The chairs are from RW Guild.

The grand entryway features a limewashed cypress ceiling and hand-applied plaster to create an elegant first impression.

Who doesn’t want a library in their home? The standout of the room is the wicker Atelier Vime pendant. They added hues of green to the room with the scallop-backed sofa and matching throw blanket.

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.

A little softness, a little sheen, and suddenly the room feels lived in and elevated.
Would you bring velvet into your home?

It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ , founder and designer of luxury furniture brand @hartisparis_ at a small gathering in the 7ème, near the Musée d’Orsay. I was there with my new friends, Scarlette and Sarah.
The apartment itself was incredible! Tall ceilings, terrazzo floors, right along the Seine, but what really stood out was the furniture.
Turns out, it was Hugo's exquisite work.
The pieces are designed around everyday gestures: sitting, leaning, resting, but interpreted in a way that feels elevated and intentional. There’s a balance of structure and softness, where architectural lines meet more organic textures and forms.
He invited me back the next day to see everything more clearly, outside of the party setting, and it completely changed how I experienced it. The pieces feel intentional and refined, with a strong focus on material and form.
Sharing a closer look at his work here.
My Paris dream life keeps happening again and again!

Spaces where the bones do all the talking. Vaulte Spaces where the bones do all the talking.
Vaulted ceilings, warm wood, and light pouring in. Everything feels grounded, layered, and quietly inviting.
What detail stands out to you first? 🤎
