Amanda Reynal Lilly Pulitzer Room Kips Bay Show House 2025

Designers have been championing a return to color for years, but if you're looking for a masterclass in the fearless use of saturated hues, patterns and textures, look no further than the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach 2025. Known for its bold designs and playful spaces, the showcase takes it up a notch this year—from richly patterned bedroom suites to a Lilly Pulitzer-inspired room, and a variety of lush outdoor spaces designed for lingering, whether with a lively cocktail or a cozy cappuccino. The takeaway? Design confidently—with details and accessories that spark joy. Here is a sampling of standout spaces that captured our attention.

The Ultimate Mood Shift

Assigned two hallways connected by a staircase, Nikki Levy embraces a botanical motif full of personality. Using oversized floral patterns from her rug collection with Ruggle Up, the Boca Raton-based designer crafts a plush, cloud-like walkway that begins just past the entry and winds up the staircase, as colors shift from romantic blush tones to melancholic teals and blues. Dotted by furnishings and moldings upholstered in Kravet Couture and Altuzarra fabrics, the space—what Levy calls a "mood ring" of color—features striking artistic moments, including murals on ceilings and walls that depict different worlds. “The interplay of delicate and strong, gentle and powerful, feminine and masculine reflects my personality, creating a space as authentic as the journey itself,” she says.
