Go With The Flow

A Delray Beach home in Delaire Country Club, initially a spec home purchased at the drywall stage in 2017, underwent an interior design transformation focused on creating an open, flexible, and inviting space for entertaining. The homeowners, who relocated from another country club community in Boca Raton, sought a blend of style and comfort, ensuring every room was livable and suitable for both formal and informal gatherings. Interior designer Jill Jones of Brown in Boca Raton, who had already established the home's organic feel, neutral palette, and mixed media textures, was subsequently hired to complete the final finishes and select furnishings. The 5,007-square-foot, one-level residence features four bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths, with an open floor plan that facilitates a seamless flow between rooms. The design project, spanning approximately nine months, involved a neutral color palette that commenced with the flooring. White porcelain tile, distinguished by non-slip hatch marks, covers most floors, while the master bedroom utilizes wood-grain porcelain. The primary paint color throughout is Sherwin Williams City Loft, a light taupe, with Sherwin Williams Shoji White, a warm white with beige undertones, used in the master bedroom. Beyond subtle hints of sage green, the main color accents derive from the bold, primary hues of the couple's art collection, which includes works by Brazilian pop artist Romero Britto. These art pieces were reframed in a transitional style to integrate seamlessly with the new design. The kitchen exemplifies the theme of multiple finishes and a streamlined aesthetic, featuring a walnut island with stainless-steel uprights, a neutral quartzite top, and matching bar stools. White high-gloss wood cabinetry, complemented by stainless steel, walnut, and frosted glass accents, along with some open shelving, completes the look. The use of walnut in the sofa's back detail and the wall unit connects the kitchen visually to the family room. An electric fireplace, set within a walnut console on a raised stainless-steel base, provides ambiance, while linen wallpaper adds textural interest. Two gray velvet chairs, capable of swiveling, offer views of the golf course, covered patio, and summer kitchen. For entertaining, the living room is equipped with a bar featuring a double-waterfall quartzite top and a wall unit containing twin vertical wine coolers, a wall-mounted TV, and beverage drawers. A bronze grass cloth wallpaper enhances the room's design. The dining room also incorporates mixed media textures, with a Century Furniture table that extends to seat ten, accompanied by chairs upholstered in a linen-textured cloth with metallic thread and wood detailing. A custom mirror is installed above custom cabinetry in a niche behind the table, with a slim rectangular chandelier with acrylic teardrops and arched glass candleholders providing illumination. His and hers offices reflect the homeowners' individual personalities. One guest bedroom was converted into a "man cave" office for the male homeowner, featuring blackout shades, a large TV, and three reclining seats. The powder room, described as a "gem," showcases a custom asymmetrical vanity top with a waterfall edge, a glossy walnut apron, and a gray acrylic sink. Metallic porcelain tiles, chrome and acrylic wall sconces, and porcelain tile resembling slate adorn the walls, with silk-textured wallpaper on the remaining surfaces. The master bedroom serves as a private oasis with serene neutrals and muted metallics, where silver details in the wallpaper are echoed in the linens of the fully upholstered channel bed. Night tables feature linen-textured drawer faces with a "neutral metallic flair," and a silk area rug adds sheen and texture, illuminated by a champagne-toned acrylic chandelier. His and hers bathrooms offer separate personal spaces connected by a common shower. The neutral palette continues with white tile featuring champagne veining, quartzite vanity tops, and soft metallic facing on cabinetry. A significant design challenge involved mitigating the harsh morning sun through the home's large windows. Initially, motorized screen shades were installed only in the family room, but it became apparent that shades were required across the entire back of the house. The solution involved seamlessly hiding the screen shades behind a 1-by-12-inch board at the ceiling line, painted to match the walls, extending the length of the house. The designer expressed satisfaction with the project and the homeowners' happiness with the final result. #InteriorDesign #DelrayBeachHome #OpenConcept #NeutralPalette #MixedTextures #CustomFurnishings #HomeEntertainment #LuxuryLiving #JillJonesDesign #InteriorDesign #DelrayBeachHome #OpenConcept #NeutralPalette #MixedTextures #CustomFurnishings #HomeEntertainment #LuxuryLiving #JillJonesDesign
