Any photos of Florida style in decorating?
Comments (24)Ha! Golden Girls...perhaps one of the subliminal reasons I came kicking and screaming to Florida. But, once here found there are most definately regional styles...neighborhood styles, and home styles. Lived in three homes here...and each one was quite different. Palm beach and West Palm have a lot of spanish med influence. Lots of inside/outside living...so tile floors, simple window coverings(plantation blinds) to let the cross breezes in. I find it a fairly relaxed state decor wise. We keep our windows and doors open to the outside the better part of the year...so stained cement floors, lots of white slipcovers(can bleach the heck out of 'em!) work well for us. live in a spanish influenced house...with practically a jungle for a backyard.Much of our artwork has a regional/tropical bent. She'll have fun decorating. You'll have fun visiting!! here is a sample of our eclectic florida style...

Comments (34)Unless a person knows they will be in a house for a short time, I think it's better to plan for the long term, knowing that there may be a period of awkwardness until the final concept rings through loud and clear. In this case (if you're going to be in the house for a while) I would not let the stone and roof colors limit where I go with future house colors. Personally, I don't find the stone attractive enough to call it a "keeper." If budget allows, I'd consider replacing it. If budget doesn't allow, I'd paint it and that will be an improvement and open up color choices for other things. Roofs eventually wear out an need replacement. At that time, you could select a better roof color that goes with your improved house color. Eventually, you could transition to a whole new, improved color scheme. The new pictures help. To be perfectly frank, I don't think the stone columns and fencing help in the least to make the entrance more inviting and appealing. If a courtyard effect was still desired, I think it would be done completely differently than what is there now. So getting rid of those things would be an immediate improvement. The walk needs help, too. Ideally, it would be redone. But if that is not in the budget, then strategically adding to it would be a big help. It especially needs an area of expanded paving near the entrance door. The small "trees" inside and outside of the courtyard are not the right plants for those spots. Is the budget or DIY interest level sufficient to make some sizable changes to the entrance area?...See MoreDecorating dilemma for a new open concept Florida house. Help.
Comments (8)Furniture is an investment. I would feel more comfortable sitting on the couch that I plan on buying. If it's to hard or soft, you're going to regret the purchase. My friend gets a new couch every few years and spends very little on it. I get a new couch every 20 years and spend a lot (Ethan Allen custom). Depends on where your budget and decor frequency lies. I got a very tightly woven fabric. Have a nice long talk with your furniture person to get the type of fabric you want. It's not only if it's a "performance fabric", it's also how durable it is. If you want something that's indestructible, traditional tweed will do the trick. I used to have a cat, and he couldn't ruin it....See MoreFlorida beach house living room design help
Comments (23)I think this rug could work well for you, with your Coastal vibe - plus the tile. This rug has some light blues in the color - but the design of the rug comes across as a neutral, overall - and is very versatile. Doesn’t lock you into any particular color scheme. And it is casual, yet has a certain understated elegance, I think. You can dress it up or dress it down. I tried to get a visual of the rug on your actual tile, but the visual is not doing the rug justice; although hopefully might give you a bit of an idea of how it works with the tile. https://www.rugs-direct.com/Details/ChrisLovesJuliaxLoloi-Chris-CHR01/146463/235300...See Morekl23
