The space was designed for a discerning client who loves color, JMA Interior Design brought color throughout the house with custom tile, cabinetry, wallpaper, and fabrics. Their biggest challenge was making multiple colors blend and flow, while still maintaining cohesion.

The kitchen and family room are open to each other, so when selecting fabrics and a color palette, the team ensured they used similar color tones but kept the spaces different by using different textures and saturations of hue. This keeps the spaces discrete but also interconnected with one another. The kitchen is light and airy with pale green subway tiles while accents of rift-cut oak on the ceiling beams and vent hood surround add visual interest, warmth, and texture to the space. Keeping the kitchen in soft tones balances the bright colors in the family room, which the kitchen opens to. The deep turquoise hue on the wall mimics the lawn, pool, and waterfront beyond the double doors leading out to one of the home’s patios. It serves as a basis for a kaleidoscope of colorful complementary fabrics on the oversize sectional and trio of poufs that link the space to an adjoining breakfast nook. While classically inspired elements such as a triple set of double cypress entry doors, white-painted millwork and columns, wooden brackets and ceiling beams, and a pair of dramatic staircases contribute to the character-rich backdrop, a mix of comfy furnishings, artful accents, and vibrant colors and patterns enliven the traditionally inspired interiors with fresh notes of contrast.

This design works so well as it reinforces the active, indoor-outdoor lifestyle of its owners and their unique vision — traditional, with a young, fun twist that’s bursting with color. The design embraces its picturesque site with features like a blue-tiled swimming pool, site-specific hardscaping, and tall windows that take advantage of the ample natural light and views of the surrounding South Florida waterfront.
