A Coastal Spa Aesthetic

Nikki Levy Interiors was commissioned to decorate their clients’ new home located on the Intracoastal in Boca Raton. The new home replaced the old structure that was demolished.

Each room of this home was wonderfully curated and refined, with the sophisticated coastal spa aesthetic always front of mind. The weaving together of texture, tone, and hues is at the heart of the design of the space. The limewashed walls, linen drapes, grasscloth wallpaper, and woolen rugs mix magnificently well with the hard surfaces of wood, rope, metal, and stone. Each space has an element that nods to the rest of the home but is uniquely singular.

Nikki Levy shares, “Our job is to harness the essence of the client and mold it into a living space that represents them and how they live. From the moment met our client, we connected. Our deep understanding of who they were and how they wanted to live was immediately apparent. Each selection was always met with the same questions: is this consistent with our objective?”

The main interior living space is integrated with the patio and Intracoastal. The wall moldings installed begins the TV unit and extending to the exterior deck marry the exterior to the interior. By embracing the exterior (including the patio furniture, dining space, and swimming pool) into the interior, the living space was increased threefold with a seamless transition.

The kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Here, it is positioned in the center of the home, encouraging family gatherings and easy entertainment. The auxiliary spaces (primary bedroom wing, guest bedroom wing, and office) branch off from it. The oversized island, which has a mix of light taupe quartzite and white quartz, is a perfect centerpiece of the home.

A particular clients’ favorite is the powder bathroom, which is layer upon layer of natural elements, not the least being an oversized white stone trough sink with a wooden shelf resting across the top. Flanking that sink is a burlap rope screen shielding the toilet space from the vanity.

Unique and intentional details were integrated into the home with a custom-designed corduroy wall in the guest wing, which runs across the hallway. Hidden in the grooves of the wall panels are two hidden doors, hiding the pantry and the laundry room. Though these rooms are striking in and of themselves, they did not want to break up this space with doors. The payoff was a zen space, in line with the clients’ vision.

The primary suite is next level, with each piece lovingly selected to create a bedroom that is embracing like a cozy alpaca blanket. At the entry to the suite, a beautifully appointed green wall sets the tone of what’s to come. Upon stepping inside, the rounded molding of the bed, custom-designed using the most exquisitely soft fabric, imbues serenity into the surroundings. In the corner of the room is an original Womb Chair, which had been in the family for many decades, and across from the bed are two beautifully carved dressers.

Beyond the main bedroom are two large boutique-styled closets and an ethereal bathroom, designed for rest and rejuvenation. The clean, organic, textured environment evokes a feeling of calm and serenity.
