Palm Beach style interiors are all about bright, fresh, and airy palettes. Think of the colors you’d see on the coast: light turquoise, fun blues, soft corals, seafoam greens, petal pinks and crisp whites. These hues bring in the freshness of the ocean, the warmth of the sand and vibrance of the blue sky thus creating a relaxed, serene environment.

• Room Colors: Keep the walls in soft, neutral tones like off-whites, pale blues, or sandy beiges to set the foundation for a breezy feel.
• Accent w/Preppy Colors: Splash in vibrant pops of turquoise, coral, or mint green through throw pillows, fabrics like custom drapery, area rugs, and decorative accessories.
• Bold Furniture: Create contrast by mixing bold in with simple, clean-lined pieces. For instance a white slipcovered bed and bright green bedside chest.
• Simple Materials: Use simple, natural materials like a rattan bench with colorful accents. Like image left.

The key here is balance—don’t go too overboard with those intense colors. Instead, think of your room as a serene coastal landscape where the ocean and sky meet, dotted with a little captivating color.

One of the most fun aspects of Palm Beach style is the use of bold patterns and textures. This is where you can really let your creativity shine.

• Stripes: Striped patterns are iconic in Palm Beach style—think classic navy and white, or pastel stripes of soft blue and white OR pink and white - colors that mimic the beach life. You can introduce stripes through textiles like throw pillows, curtains, or rugs. Like seen image right.
• Fun Prints: Flames, grids, dots and zigzag - throw in a fun print with colorful pillows, art and throws.
• Tropical Prints: Think Fabric with palm leaves, florals, and animal prints (especially leopard) are often seen in Palm Beach-inspired spaces. Use these prints in small doses—like on throw pillows, accent chairs, or wallpaper.

Pairing these bold patterns with softer textures like linen or cotton helps keep the space from feeling too busy or overwhelming.

Good natural lighting can make or break a Palm Beach-inspired room. Since the style emphasizes natural light and openness, be sure to let the sunlight in as much as possible.

• Windows: Keep windows large and unadorned, or use sheer, white curtains that let the light flow in. Plantation shutters are another classic Palm Beach feature.
• Statement Lighting: Choose light fixtures with a touch of glamour—think oversized chandeliers, lantern-style pendant lights, or textured lamps. (Image Left) Materials like glass, brass, ceramics and crystal elevate the space while still keeping the mood light and bright.

Lighting should feel as if you’re basking in the warmth of the Palm Beach sun all day long.
