Coconut Palm on John’s Island

Vero Beach, Florida

Bright living room with white walls, large windows, and high vaulted ceiling. Features a white sofa with decorative pillows, a blue armchair, a round coffee table with yellow flowers and books, and a fireplace with a mantel decorated with a plant, lamp, and artwork.

A setting as spectacular as John’s Island deserves a spectacular design treatment. Our fine art-loving clients from Washington D.C. invited us to help create the ultimate coastal vacation home in Vero Beach’s most majestic barrier island, a place where the whole family could come together for true quality time. Through a palette of rich neutrals, we built a design scheme that would highlight the works in their colorful, contemporary art collection, as well as reflect the remarkable beauty of the home’s setting. The overall effect is one of relaxed, lasting luxury.

"My husband and I highly recommend Stephanie and her team. We hired them to do the interior design of our new Florida home. We could not be more pleased with their design work. The spaces are stunning without sacrificing comfort. They are very knowledgeable about art and worked with us to incorporate our collection and introduced us to new artists whose works are integral to the design. They were tireless in their efforts to move the project along, meeting our hoped for completion date despite supply chain disruptions. It was a joy working with them.”
