For the fifth annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach, a group of 24 architects and decorators transformed all 25 rooms of a 1923 Italian Renaissance mansion, plus a guest house, into a tropical oasis filled with vibrant color and exciting new design ideas. And its quintessential Florida location sparked designers to take over the building with hothouse botanical motifs, graphic stripes, and whimsical patterns, from designer Catherine M. Austin’s Henri Matisse–influenced palette in a dining room to a softer, old-world Palm Beach–inspired terrace by Amanda Reynal. The show house, which benefits the Boys & Girls Club and Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County, is now open for in-person visits as well as virtual tours through April 3, but if you can’t stand to wait, read on for 15 of our favorite eye-catching moments. They’re sure to transport you from the winter doldrums to a private seaside getaway.

Palm Beach’s signature palette of yellows, greens, and pinks sheathe the private outdoor terrace right off a second-floor bedroom. “There is nothing more delightful than a lush outdoor room with the protection and comforts of the indoors,” says its designer Amanda Reynal. The floral banquettes, pillow fabric and trim, and curtains are all by Schumacher, and the rug is by Patterson Flynn. Did we mention the views of the pool below?

The oceanic blue bathroom designed by Andrea Schumacher, cheekily dubbed “Flutter Loo” after the butterfly wallcovering from the designer’s own shop, was inspired by the Florida coast, reflected in elements like the seashell mirror, shell-shaped towel holder, tiles from Artistic Tile, and, of course, bold indigo hues.

In the primary bedroom, Ashley Gilbreath created a “tented retreat” inspired by design legend Veere Grenney’s fabric-swathed interiors. The sophisticated stripes on the Schumacher drapery and wallcoverings and the rug from Arsin Rug Gallery add a more tailored feel to the space. The bed is upholstered in a velvet Wareco fabric, and the pendant is by the Urban Electric Co.

The “Wonderland Dining Room” designed by Beth Diana Smith brings an air of whimsy and play into the home with its combination of fun patterns and eccentric accessories. The space is grounded by a pink Lulu and Georgia rug and crowned with a lilac Fabricut wallpaper on the ceiling. Showstopping sculptural elements, like the lotus chandelier from Hudson Valley Lighting, the colossal cast-iron woman sculptures from the Phillips Collection, and a monkey accent table from Currey & Company make for stylish dinner guests.

An explosion of bright reds, greens, and yellows (a palette inspired by Henri Matisse) sheathe the guest house’s dining area by Catherine M. Austin. The iconic banana leaf wallpaper gets the Matisse treatment in this vibrant colorway by CW Stockwell x Voutsa. Vintage Brighton rattan chairs surround the table covered in a yellow and white English hand-blocked tablecloth.

A kids’ room christened the “Rainy Day Room” by Damour Drake is meant to spark creativity for the home’s imagined little residents. The room features art and decor reminiscent of the Palm Beach changing skies. A 3D cloud installation on the ceiling is by Sienna Martz, and the landscape painting is by Jean-Adrien Seide. The sheer powder-blue drapery is of a fabric by Helen Prior, the daybed is by resident furniture designer Melvin Jones Jr., and the walls are in Cushing Green by Benjamin Moore.

This all-pink “poolside paradise” designed by Janie Molster calls for a glass of rosé in hand and maximum relaxation. A mixture of pink patterns makes up every vignette of the pool area, from the custom floral umbrellas throughout to the candy-striped Fabric Guru pergola at the end of the pool.

Jim Dove—known for his kitchen, bar, and bath designs—imagined the den as a “swanky” bar space, dubbed the “Monkey Bar” after Graydon Carter’s now-shuttered bar of the same name in Manhattan. Dove riffed on that bar’s iconic hand-painted monkey murals with a terra-cotta-colored de Gournay wallcovering. But it’s the glowing quartzite bar from Prime Stones that shows there will be absolutely no monkeying around when it comes to happy hour.

Designer Nikki Levy took one of our favorite 2022 home trends and ran with it in the primary bathroom: all-green everything. Here, the emerald hue shows up everywhere from the glossy tiled walls to the Phillip Jeffries–covered cabinets. Mosaic surfaces from Artistic Tile and countertops from Primestone add a nice contrast to the deep green shades.

A Paloma Contreras–designed sunroom is a more modern take on a classic Palm Beach aesthetic. The treillage walls by Fuller Architectural Patterns are in a square pattern instead of the customary diagonal configuration, and the clean-cut boxy window treatments by Samuel & Sons stick to that same shape. The green and white color palette works to bring the outside in, especially with the seating upholstered in Schumacher’s Dogwood Leaf pattern. A monolithic brass pendant from Contreras’s collection for Visual Comfort adds a bit of edge to the mainly soft, sun-drenched room.

Perfect for an evening cocktail, architect Peter Pennoyer’s drawing room is an intimate and whimsical escape. A minimal red botanical wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries provides a colorful backdrop for the cozy space, which is filled with a mixture of antiques and new furnishings. The rug is by New Moon Rugs, the curtain fabric is by Steve McKenzie Design, and the spoon-back chair is from Epoca SF.

The study or “Petit Salon” by Robert Brown strikes a considerably more modernist note, with its bold mural by the French artist Garance Vallée and hat tips to design icons like Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, and Jean Arp. The sofa is from Le Jeune, the chair is by Baker McGuire, and the artwork is by Brown.

Getting ready in the morning would never be a bore in this massive walk-in closet designed by Barbara Lewis. The idea for the closet was born out of Palm Beach’s variegated color palette and Lewis’s desire to be transported to a lush garden. Here, the Palm Frond wallpaper by Aqualille surely does the job. The palm leaf table is by Todd Hasse, and the pendants are from Circa Lighting.

The “Bloom Lounge,” a spare bedroom designed by Tiffany Brooks, is certainly blooming with color, specifically vivid greens and soft blues. The suspended daybed, clad in a Fabricut leather paired with a serene Thibaut botanical wallpaper, allows for maximal comfort and relaxation. “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,” Brooks describes.

Atlanta-based designer Tish Mills took on a bedroom in the guest house and turned it into a glam office. Mills focused more on beachy neutrals, which inspired the Phillip Jeffries wallpaper evoking the ripples of sand after surf washes over it. A chic vintage Jacques Garcia desk and a closet-turned-marble fireplace elevates the space. The soft lavender ceiling matches the Shade Store curtains while pops of golden yellow throughout remind us of the breathtaking sunsets.
