The Importance of Color

The cozy dining room area...

A classic salmon and soft green palette prevails...

I think of this room as a "salon"
One of the first things I noticed when I first relocated to Florida, was how people were living with a lack of color and personal effects in their homes. I attribute this to two things; one, they have active outdoor lifestyles, and two, they only use these homes on a seasonal basis. Here, I helped an important client establish a sense of a home in the sub tropics with a controlled palette of salmons and greens, mixed with heirlooms from her grandparents, who were early developers of Miami Beach. Enjoy ! DF *****
