Deep Blue Sea

For this cool, sophisticated Palm Beach apartment, Cindy Ray Interiors was inspired by the oceanfront location and the client’s casual lifestyle. An organic color palette of whites, beiges and sea-glass greens and blue reflects the surf and sand below, while the mother-of-pearl inlaid shell detail in the flooring ups the ante with a touch of shimmer. Custom details abound, including Lucite and glass coffee tables, a hair hide mosaic carpet, and exotic wood moldings and millwork. The most visually stunning element is the zebrawood cabinetry, which adds texture, warmth and a nod to the movement of the sea.

Designer Cindy Ray achieved a polished and inviting outdoor style for this Palm Beach home. “Inspired by the client’s casual lifestyle and ocean views, we designed a relaxed, family-oriented, ‘coastal beach’ feel for this patio that encompassed such details as neutral fabrics in soft blue and white tones,” she says.
