10 Spaces That Master Bold Design At Kips Bay Palm Beach 2025 – LUXE – February 2025

Luxe, February 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.

Atelier Botanica

by Nikki Levy Interiors

Atelier Botanica by Nikki Levy unfolds across two floors, connected by a grand circular staircase, revealing a striking contrast in mood. Upstairs, cool blues and greens blend into vibrant mauves, magenta, violet, and aubergine, evoking a sense of whimsy and romance. Downstairs, the atmosphere deepens into a moody, contemplative darkness. Tucked beneath the stairs is a magnificent curvilinear wall glistening with Dark Cherry Dizzy Plum. “I wanted something that felt like a wallpaper, but I didn’t actually want a wallpaper, because I wanted something that was tactile, something that was faceted, with vibrance.  On this wall, it’s tile where you wouldn’t think a tile would work, but this lays like satin. It looks as if it is beautifully draped on this wall.”

This Mood Ring Stairway Changes Colors As You Ascend—And We’re Here For It

You can sense the vibe shift as you move from deep purples to vibrant sea greens, with florals blooming underfoot.

“I always love to design with an artistic concept in place; there’s always a story in my head,” says Boca Raton, Florida-based designer Nikki Levy. And in a prominent stairway corridor at this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach, that story is a vivid, mercurial tale of self discovery through color, texture, and a sea of beautiful contrasts.

“There is a sense of both masculine and feminine in our bodies and brains, in how we think and what we do,” adds Levy who includes both the upstairs and downstairs galleries. “As I was designing, I was going from these soft, gentle pinks into bright oranges and yellows, and eventually into dark green all the way on the other side, and it just felt like a representation of these different sides of myself. There’s the quiet side, the romantic side, the kind of loud and vibrant side, and the contemplative side.”

It’s a journey the designer encourages visitors to embark on as well as they move through the space. The centerpieces are custom runners Levy designed with RuggleUp, blooming oversize, colorful florals up the stairs and down long corridors, like a cutting garden exploding with color. Their palettes shift in harmony with the walls, painted in complementary shades by Benjamin Moore, while decorative flowers by Roland DGA bloom across the ceilings. A mix of tactile, alabaster-white furnishings mingle with more vibrant pieces by Made Goods, striking a harmonious balance.

Levy sourced artwork through CoCollect, showcasing pieces by Kalee Appleton and Allyson Monson, while Hector Finch lamps cast ambient light on Levy’s contemplative journey. She also an assortment of Kravet fabrics throughout the upstairs and downstairs halls, giving the space beautiful depth—and a memorable passage through gently unfolding color.
