Amanda Reynal Interiors
“There is nothing more delightful than a lush outdoor room with the protection and comforts of the indoors” says Amanda Reynal of her terrace hideaway. Inspired by the private verandas and loggias of storied local homes, her design evokes old world Palm Beach, and a simple terrace becomes an intimate, luxurious salon, whether for breakfast, a leisurely afternoon, or a night cap. Nestled off a second floor bedroom overlooking the pool and verdant gardens below, Amanda reimagines the ultimate private retreat.

The covered awning and indoor/ outdoor curtains provide a sense of privacy and protection from the sun and elements. Three generous banquette sofas offer room to stretch out. A variety of tables, lovely lighting, and the application of lattice to the side of the home add to the effect. The iconic Palm Beach palette of yellow, green and pink is incorporated into layered fabrics and textures as an homage to the past with an eye towards the Palm Beach of today.

Andrea Schumacher Interiors
"Flutter,” pays homage to Palm Beach’s vibrant landscape. The space is enveloped in a sea of blues that reflect the coastal environment, and whimsical wallcoverings and fabric from Andrea’s product line, Liesl, set the tone. Art, such as a butterfly installation by Paul Villinski and an oil painting of a native Florida bird from AXIOM Fine Art Consulting, brings a sense of the outdoors in. Sumptuous accents from Oka and linens from Pioneer Linens invite guests to linger for a restorative and invigorating moment. Featuring a harmony of patterns, textures, and materials, Schumacher is never one to shy away from the mix! With Artistic Tile’s Arpell Azul WJ Mosaic tile, used for the flooring and niche, the space is imbued with a Moroccan flair.

A Roman shade, fabricated and installed by The Shade Store with a Liesl fabric, and light fixtures from Currey & Company ornament the walls. Various Benjamin Moore paint colors are featured throughout and Kohler supplied the central bathroom appliances. The space is designed to be a jewel box and its largest jewel is a custom vanity, created using a vintage console with ornate detailing. Azul Bochira from Artistic Tile’s expansive natural stone inventory was utilized to enhance the blue color palette while a fluting detail creates an unexpected and elevated twist.

Ashley Gilbreath Interior Design
The primary bedroom is a “Tented Retreat,” drawing inspiration from the tented designs of Veere Grenney. An escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the bedroom is a place to relax and unwind, ensconced in the elevated privacy, coziness, and romance of the tented room. The neutral stripe provides a casual yet elegant backdrop, contrasted with rich textures and antique pieces that add depth and warmth. The floral bolster, silk lampshades, and monogramed linens lend a feminine air to the tailored monochromatic palette. The overall effect is a timeless retreat based in the classics and accented with modern touches that plays with scale and texture to achieve a laid-back luxe feel.

Bakes & Kropp Fine Cabinetry
Bakes & Kropp’s design reflects a transitional Mediterranean sensibility that seamlessly complements the historic 1923 home. The fully customized kitchen centers around Bakes & Kropp’s one-of-a-kind luxury cabinetry, hand-crafted by the talented woodworkers in its Mt. Clemens, Michigan workshop. The kitchen showcases the company’s latest cutting-edge finishes and products, with a thoughtful balance between the sleek white foundation, textured wood elements, glossy stone countertops, and polished metal accents. The varied ceiling heights in the original house presented a compelling challenge for designer Bob Bakes, who chose to emphasize its dynamic cubist configuration rather than attempt to conceal it. The design team built a ceiling ventilation box that plays off the varied heights by adding an extra layer and installed an intimate coffee bar nestled under the lowest part of the ceiling. Bakes & Kropp’s sleek new luxury finishes, Cinder Walnut 9213 and Black Matte Paint 9017, present a stunning contrast to the kitchen’s white backdrop. The Cinder Walnut accent is repeated throughout the kitchen, following the core principle of all Bakes & Kropp designs—every element should have “a friend to talk to.” The large kitchen island features a deep black finish and is topped with a carefully balanced white stone and dark walnut countertop. The cabinetry also showcases, in part, the latest brand innovative inset door style, “Madison, "which features a walnut veneer surrounded by a discreet hardwood edge in an inset application, for a modern, subtly defined look. Setting trends for the future of cabinetry design, the design team incorporated automatic linear cabinet lighting from Häfele, only an eighth of an inch wide, which illuminates upon opening the cabinet door. For the kitchen, Bakes & Kropp sourced hardware from Armac Martin, utilizing the “Bakes” line, designed by Bob Bakes himself, and the “Bromford” line, both in satin brass. Also featured are the new Bob Bakes-designed ice box latches and hinges recently added to the Bakes & Kropp design portfolio. The team sourced sinks and faucets from Kohler, paint from Benjamin Moore, countertops from Silestone in “Ethereal Glow,” and appliances from Jenn Air. Matt Lewis of Salt Country Construction served as site supervisor and general contractor for the project. The kitchen brings a new twist to the classic white kitchen. The project exemplifies the timeless, universal Bakes & Kropp aesthetic that is as at home in Palm Beach as it is in The Hamptons, one that will stand the test of time.

Beth Diana Smith Interior Design

Beth Diana Smith had a goal to create a playful and refined space that marries beautiful details with conversation pieces, from textured wallpaper to velvet chairs to incorporating wildlife in subtle ways. This dining space is meant to be a bewitching backdrop for an evening of laughter, cocktails, and amazing food.

Catherine M Austin Interior Design
Catherine M Austin has created the “Jewel of the Jungle” that includes the guest house entry, dining room, and kitchen. The colorful casita merges design elements from her favorite sunny locales including Marrakech, Costa Rica, the Cote d’Azurand Palm Beach. Guests enter through a garden reminiscent of Villa Oasis, the Moroccan home of Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Berge. The tropical paradise continues inside with a Matisse-inspired palette mixed with a heavy dose of Palm Beach panache. A diminutive entry introduces what lies ahead with walls lined in CW Stockwell and Voutsa’s spectacular Martinique Celebration wallpaper. The iconic banana leaf wallpaper from the 1940s has been brilliantly recolored in a palette inspired by Henri Matisse. Works by southern artist Susan Hable are evocative of Matisse’s cutouts with their simple silhouettes and bold colors that work beautifully against the patterned wallpaper. Whimsical tasseled pendants hang above the stairwell and draw the eye upward to a verdant green ceiling. The dining room overlooks the palms with a table set with a global mix of vintage Italian pottery, bespoke linens, Grecian glassware, handmade Colombian placemats, bamboo flatware, and an English handblocked print tablecloth finished with colorful bobble trim. Vintage Brighton rattan chairs with another handblocked linen surround the table with a sunny custom “Murano” chandelier hanging above. Window treatments based on Palm Beach awnings frame the view of the tropical garden. Form follows function in the galley kitchen. Vibrant green cabinets set against a graphic wallpaper by Thibault visually connect the kitchen to the dining area. The technicolor palette is repeated in the window treatments and dining nook. One wall features a lacquered custom hood trimmed in brass while another has open shelving to display decorative items and tableware. Commissioned works by Sally King Benedict bring out the vibrant hues in the textiles while paying homage to a life of leisure with tennis, surfing and playing under the palms. Many of their signature design traits were used throughout the spaces.

n a local scale, the lifestyle and character of Palm Beach is so inherently tied to the ocean. When designing our space here at Kips Bay this year, we pictured clients who spend much of their days in the water: surfing, swimming, diving, walking on the beach. This is where our design project begins--an entry hall that honors that connection to the ocean. In brainstorming with the artists, Maria Apelo Cruz and Mike Jovanovic of MJ Atelier, who created the rooms' wallcovering, I described a fantastical underwater mural that would celebrate the wonders of the sea. Maria immediately christened the project "The Octopus's Garden". Eve Kaplan gilt chandelier, antiqued MJ Atelier eglomise mirrors with coral and shells, antiqued bronze urchin hardware by Collier Webb, woven gold Jim Thompson fishnet on the windows, a console table with sequined embroidery of the ocean floor by Cyrielle Leclere and P+L Studio. Marc Bankowsky's sconces and pendants in plaster and bronze provide a glow in this dark undersea world. Add in the ombre turquoise carpet from New Moon creating a torrent coming down the stairs.

Damour Drake
Damour Drake designers Maryline Damour and Mel Jones Jr. have created 'Toddler's Haven', in celebration of the many babies born since the pandemic. Coincidentally after settling on this, the team met the homeowner of the Kips Bay house who has a newborn. The colors of the room are evocative of the natural world, and of Palm Beach, referencing views of palms and sky. To stimulate creativity in little ones, Damour Drake collaborated with artists on an immersive art installation. The room is also customized with children's furniture by Damour Drake's resident furniture designer Mel Jones Jr.

Goddard Design Group
"The guest house living room was designed as a gathering place for friends and guests to relax, socialize or escape. I was inspired by the idea of a French salon and covered the walls in hand painted linen panels to add an unexpected layer of detail. The intricate beamed ceiling adds architectural interest and reflects the style of the home, while the lacquered Yves Klein Blue paint exhibits a modern twist. Vibrance was key for the guest space, and I went a bit over the top by layering and mixing colors from chartreuse to hot pink and incorporating texture through modern textiles mixed with classic patterns. I wanted the room to look as if it had evolved over time, so the space is punctuated with important antiques, custom upholstery and contemporary art. My signature style is timeless, elegant spaces that tell a story with a bit of whimsy, and I created the perfect space to reflect who I am as a designer and a room in which anyone would feel comfortable and welcome."

Don your rose-colored glasses and take a plunge. Set against refreshing azure ripples, this pink-infused poolside retreat welcomes guests into multiple vignettes that delight with a rosy, celebratory vibe. When friends and neighbors hear the splashing, they migrate over for chilled rosé, pink cosmopolitans, and to bask in the flattering glow of a retreat where reckless relaxation is de rigueur. Whimsical pink umbrellas in varying patterns of hand-blocked Indian fabric provide a framework for welcoming poolside seating. On the far side of the pool, pale pink benches, lush plantings, and columns topped with chinoiserie-style vases and ginger jars provide an old-world nod to the Palm Beach Regency style. On the opposite side of the pool, a welcoming 22’ sectional, shaded by more patterned umbrellas, encourages settling in for a languid, relaxing day. Set against a carpet of lush turf, the shaded pergola at the end of the pool is intimate and cozy. Wrapped in walls of billowy fabrics, furnishings in crisp white have a decidedly modern silhouette and more old-world porcelain accents add a storied note.

A pink and white cabana striped fabric is the backdrop for outdoor-friendly artwork in the form of sections of “living wall” greenery. An iconic John Dickinson coffee table in white plaster anchors the room, and upholstered poufs in pink and white offer additional pull-up seating. At the opposite end, the entrance to the entertaining pavilion is flanked by swivel lounge chairs in a graphic pink and white fabric. The pavilion’s counters are dressed with charming fabric skirts in a classic Florida floral. A lattice arch covers the backsplash and provides the backdrop for a dramatic bulls-eye painting in a palette that ranges from fuchsia to petal pink. A ceiling tray covered in raffia and framed with bamboo serves to highlight the deco-inspired pink and white chandelier. Visit and linger in a welcoming space that defies easy categorization: think C.Z. Guest meets Lilly Pulitzer with a good dose of Miami’s South Beach edge.

Jim Dove Design
For this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach, esteemed kitchen, bar and bath designer Jim Dove envisioned a swanky space for pre-dinner cocktails or that all-important night cap when so many of the world’s problems get solved. With so many of today’s interior spaces undergoing the transition to multi-functionality to keep up speed with today’s ever-changing lifestyles, the idea of a room dedicated to a singular activity may seem pastiche, if not indulgent. But the appeal of a genuine cocktail bar remains strong, transcending tastes and time. The reality is, people like to hang out at a bar, regardless of what’s in their glass. This color-saturated room is a tribute to New York’s renowned and much-missed Monkey Bar, which welcomed sophisticates since it opened in the mid-to-late 1930s in the Hotel Elysée. The few historical records that exist reveal that while the bar was certainly in operation, it wasn't until the early 1950s when hand-painted murals of monkeys created by caricaturist Charlie Wala were added, along with the official name, "The Monkey Bar. "From then on, through various incarnations, The Monkey Bar was the epitome of “swanky” until its untimely closure due to COVID. However, hope springs eternal, as sources are whispering about a re-opening in the near future. DeGournay’s “Deco Monkeys” hand-painted wallpaper in a rich terracotta color lays the foundation for the space, which is dominated by a glowing waterfall bar crafted from “Cristallo Sunshine” quartzite from Prima Stones, fabricated by Granite & Marble Factory. A Kohler faceted “Brinx” bar sink and accompanying faucet adds the finishing touch. Beneath the solid surface: bespoke cabinetry from Dove’s own workrooms. Barstools from LeJeune Upholstery are covered in Groves Bros.’ iconic “Sally” hand-screened cotton, reminiscent of classical Venetian textile designs but actually printed in Fort Worth, TX. Amplifying the importance of highly saturated color in this composition, glowing orange silk taffeta curtains crafted by The Shade Store and trimmed with Samuel & Sons taping surround the room. Topping it all off, a dramatic Art Deco “Sillage” chandelier from Currey & Company. From the moment one enters this jewel-box of a space, the message is clear: the bar is open.

Joy Street Design
The In Real Life (IRL by JSD) guest suite is a respite from everyday life and envelopes its inhabitants in warm duo-chromatic colors, cozy fabrics, and modern features while also bringing certain elements of the metaverse (digital art, NFTs, etc.) into the real world to bridge the gap between the spaces that we inhabit physically and the spaces we inhabit virtually. Our intention was to create a self-contained space that allowed you to retreat away from your problems-an energetic bathroom, space to use as a work area or vanity, and a very joyful bedroom-but also allows you to be engaged and connected with the world in a variety of ways. We wanted to tap into the exciting “new” field of NFTs and digital art and bridge the divide by bringing those elements into a real-life design. I love the idea of the NFT marketplace because it provides a way for underrepresented and previously overlooked persons and communities to have a seat at the table. By creating a more equitable and accessible forum, more diverse and talented individuals will be discovered.

The difficulties lie in that the metaverse currently only exists in our phones, tablets, and other digital devices and none of it ever really translates to the existing physical environment. We worked with emerging brands to create digital displays that show a variety of digital art and video and we also included prints and traditional frames to represent the way these two distinct things can live in harmony.
Photo Credit: Courtesy of Kips Bay
Lastly, while we knew we wanted to infuse digital art and smart home technology into making this space more future-forward, we also recognized the need for the space to be a calming respite from the real world. We did not want it to feel cold or uninviting with too many screens or buttons. The deep red color assists with this and everything is then topped with luxurious fabrics – velvets on the custom bed and window treatments also bring in the softness to balance all other elements.

With a glorious mix of hard and soft, light and dark, curves and linear, this Primary bathroom exudes luxury and beauty at every turn. The rich and vibrant colors are an exquisite compliment to the golden hues of the Currey and Co lighting and magnificent Kohler Plumbing hardware. A play on the diminutive Artistic Tile Penny Lane mosaic and grand scale of Phillip Jefferies Haiku floral wallpaper is a feast for the senses, tilting the usual into the unexpected. The insanely beautiful Primestones marble counter is all drama and all beauty. The use of materials in the most unexpected of ways is a nod to the design industry innovators and trail blazer’s, like Dorothy Draper, Elsie de Wolfe and Billy Baldwinand who came before us and an anticipation of what’s to come in the future of design.

Playful, lighthearted and completely stunning, this room is filled with joy and is a reminder of our youthful exuberance. Twirling as a child and feeling the giddy joys of freedom, is reflected in the circles and half moons of this space. The sheer abandon of form is an escape for the structure of everyday reality. Our selections of the Artistic Tile’s Moon Cosmati Marble tile plays so well with the Phillip Jefferies Collage wallpaper, and the addition of the fluted vanity and the Silestone Vanity countertop perfect exclamation point to the space. Using The abilities of Galaxy Marble, to create a scalloped artful countertop masterpiece was the culmination of inspiration from all the other incredible Selections we had made.

Noz Design
"No Bad Mondays" is a love letter to all the spaces in our homes that have aided our wellness these past two years, as Home has expanded to be a dwelling, workspace, classroom, and more --all at once. This petite sitting room off the primary bedroom is envisioned as a cheerful, light-filled space to ease oneself into a busy week: a space where one can start the day with a cup of tea on the sofa, a breathing exercise or morning meditation, or daily calendar review at the bistro table in the window, before facing the rest of one's workday at the (home) office.

Inspired by the families who've recently migrated from smaller urban condos in San Francisco and New York to more spacious houses in South Florida, this small sunny room –-the size of some city living rooms (and in fact, is furnished with pieces that could complete a San Francisco living room!) --felt like the perfect space to dedicate to morning rituals that help manifest one's mental and emotional well-being. In our morning sitting room, one is ensconced in happy lavender-lilac and tomato red hues, in a room that mixes vintage, antique, handmade, and CNC-fabricated pieces. Our room's artwork, celebrating Love, is by NYC artist James Sexer Rodriguez – a proud alumnus of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club.

Paloma Contreras Interior Design
Palm Beach has a well-defined, sophisticated aesthetic while maintaining a fun, old school sensibility. “Green Gardens” is a direct reflection of the spirit of Palm Beach with a modern twist. Paloma set out to design a beautiful garden space but wanted it to feel a bit unexpected. She drew upon a fresh color palette of green and white to beckon the outdoors in. The moment she received her room assignment, she knew that she wanted to clad the sunroom in treillage, a timeless garden design element. To bring in a modern twist, the team ran the treillage in squares rather than a more traditional lattice pattern. The tradition of treillage coupled with its more unexpected and exuberant execution feels quintessentially Palm Beach! She was also inspired by one of her design icons, Billy Baldwin, to whom they paid homage by using his iconic sofa silhouette along with a pair of custom-designed slipper chairs. They used a crisp glazed linen on both the Billy Baldwin sofa and the custom window treatments, which feature dentil pelmet boxes outlined in tape trim by Samuel & Sons. Schumacher’s charming “Dogwood Leaf” fabric reminds us that spring is just around the corner. The room is grounded by an abaca rug from Patterson Flynn while a dramatically scaled brass pendant (from my new lighting collection for Visual Comfort) adds a touch of Palm Beach glamour. As befits a garden room, chic rattan pieces, both vintage and newly made by Soane Britain, fill the space and offer visitors ample opportunity to perch. A green lacquered coffee table from KRB holds a court in the center of the room. Stylish end tables, a console (or bar, depending on the occasion!), and a fabulous backgammon table (all from Oomph) ensure that Green Gardens’ visitor will never have to reach to rest their iced teas. Paul Lange’s stunning Big Bloom photograph entitled “Evelyn, 2013” adds a striking dose of femininity and vibrance with its pink and yellow hues. Green Gardens is designed to play host to a variety of activities, from lounging with a great book in hand to trouncing one’s opponent in a friendly game of backgammon to enjoying a cocktail before hitting the town for dinner. Could anything be more timeless, chic, or so very Palm Beach?

Pearl Design Interiors
The transformation of this patio started with creating an outdoor space for dining, cocktails, cigars, and conversations. Pearl Design Interiors wanted the space to have a modern and elegant feel with a South Palm Beach flair, so they incorporated a monochromatic black and white color scheme and added a pop of pink.

Philip Gorrivan Design
“Sala Exotico” was designed by Philip Gorrivan to serve as an intimate space for entertaining, gathering, or solitary moments. Inspired by Italian modernism, Brazilian design, and the panache of Palm Beach, the result is a timeless, layered sanctuary to be enjoyed amongst luxurious comforts. Fromental’s large scale Bruyère wallpaper provides a colorful and dramatic backdrop. A sofa covered in Rose Cumming’s Woven Silk is flanked by Italian modern end tables from Gary Rubinstein Antiques. Promemoria’s Cubetto armchair creates intrigue. Dark woods, trims, walnut casegoods, and a bar, lined with a Philip Gorrivan wallcovering and filled with barware from Hermès and Saint-Louis, ground the space. An Erik Lindstrom rug features a graphic floral design that is echoed by an adjacent loggia, painted by artist David Paul Kay that adds another dimension to create an authentic and unexpected retreat.

Sconces and lamps from Saint-Louis illuminate both the interior and exterior, while the transition from outdoors to in is punctuated by Roman shades by The Shade Store and drapery in Classic Cloth’s Simplicity in Meringue.

Our ‘Petit Salon’ is enveloped in a bold, avant-garde mural by French artist Garance Vallée titled L'ivresse (translated: Intoxication). The space is a tribute to and celebration of Le Corbusier, Perriand, Arp, Prouré and other pioneers of organic, surrealist and abstract takes on modernism. Timeless and refined, yet welcoming, the room sets stage for both relaxed repartee and revelry.

Sarah Bartholomew Design, LLC.
Sarah Bartholomew created a boudoir for an imagined eccentric Englishman’s home in Tangier. Nick-named after the British Palace, Brighton Pavilion, the silhouettes of the room are a nod to the architectural marvel of the Ottoman inspired palace. Once a seaside retreat for King George IV, Brighton Pavilion, is a blend of Indian, European, Moorish and Chinese architectural styles and is surrounded by beautiful Regency style gardens.

In the same manner, she set out to construct a room that is meant to make one feel like they are enveloped in an exotic English garden. The tented green striped room sets the tone for the space, creating a jewel box that is both handsome and romantic as well as crisp and exotic. The layered textures, textiles, art and antiques all work in tandem to create a worldly mix.

The Lewis Design Group
The Closet Reimagined by The Lewis Design Group is a sartorial sanctuary that inspires creativity, joy and rejuvenation. Inspired by the lush colors of Palm Beach, the defining element in this space is the hand-painted palm tree wallpaper by Aqualille. These beautiful palm fronds covering the walls create the experience of entering one’s own enchanted garden. Beyond just a place to store clothes and accessories, The Closet Reimagined is furnished like a room, with a curated mix of one-of-kind antiques, re-upholstered and painted in cheerful blues, yellows and whites. Chic accessories and dresses, all with a certain Palm Beach panache, are displayed like works of art. A charming seating area next to a window continues the feeling of being in one’s own private sanctuary. Joyful green and yellow fabrics by Schumacher on the settee and roman shades create a stunning pattern play with the palm frond wallpaper. Barbara Lewis of The Lewis Design Group envisioned this closet as the site of everything from zoom calls to a little champagne pre-party to a serene morning ritual. The Closet Reimagined fully embraces the trend that we approach all spaces in the home in new ways that elevate our everyday. Wallpaper, window treatments, antiques and fabulous fabrics make our clothes look better and heighten the experience of getting dressed each day (or just escaping for a moment of renewal in one’s own private sanctuary).

The "Bloom Lounge” started as a vision of being playful and unexpected. In lieu of having an auxiliary bedroom that lies vacant the majority of the year, I wanted to take you to a place of Eden. When you enter, the modest square footage is conquered by an escapement of indulgence and imagination.

A muse for an artist or writer; a place to immerse yourself musically with the warmth and richness of a vintage record player, an opulent leather and brass-clad chaise lounge is suspended from the ceiling- taking your leisure to another level; literally and figuratively.

“We’re incredibly excited that the showhouse is now open to the public”, says James Druckman, President of the Board of the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. “The designers and architects of this year’s Show House have worked around the clock to bring their dream rooms to life. We think they have encapsulated the essence of Palm Beach perfectly and we’re looking forward to welcoming guests in.”
The Show House attracts 15,000 visitors each year and all proceeds benefit the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club and Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County. The Clubs offer innovative after-school and enrichment programs for more than 21,000 youth, ages six through 18 in ten locations throughout the Bronx and 17 across Palm Beach County. The esteemed showhouses have raised over $25 million to date.

“I would like to thank all of the sponsors and designers for this year’s Show House.
