4/24 MOOD BOARD MONDAY- Palm Beach Ispired Living Room

Welcome back to another Mood Board Monday! Today we’re getting tropical as I’m tackling a Palm Beach inspired living room. Of all the design styles, I’d have to say Palm Beach is my favorite! Palm Beach decor has roots going back to the 1920s. It was originally influenced of course by the tropical climate and wealthy lifestyle of the residents. In the 1920s and 1930s, the popular style that took over was the Mediterranean Revival which included stucco walls, red tile roofs, and wrought iron. Moving on to the 1950s and 1960s, Mid-Century Modern took over, which included more clean lines and had a focus on indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This style is what most people correlate with Palm Beach decor today. Other elements of Palm Beach decor include bright colors, tropical prints, and textures of nature such as rattan and bamboo. Keep reading to see some of my top picks from Amazon, and how I’d style them in this Palm Beach living room!

To set the tone for this room, I HAD to choose a fun palm tree wallpaper. This particular one is available to the trade only, and can be ordered directly through me. For a good base, I selected a jute rug. However, I wanted a rug with a bit of a pop so I opted for this scalloped edge rug with blue details.

Next up, I wanted a cozy white slip-covered couch. To me, this style just screams coastal. To add a pop of color, I chose these pink suede throw pillows with gold piping, and a needlepoint lumbar pillow as a fun accent!

Moving on to an accent chair, I love a good spindle chair. These to me are timeless and exude coastal energy. I chose a navy spindle chair, and a green and white bamboo pillow as a contrast. As a side table, I absolutely love this chinoiserie garden stool. I actually have this in my living room and use it to stack my latest Southern Living magazines.

Finally, every living room can use some sort of entry table or sideboard. I love this wooden table with caning details. Caning is another common material in Palm Beach decor. I would then style it with a coffee table book, preferably this Assouline Palm Beach book because, DUH! I would also add a table lamp in a simple white color so as not to detract from the wallpaper.
