Interior Designer for Fort Lauderdale Beach Condos

Fort Lauderdale Beach is about to get a lot of new homes. Opus at 701, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, EDITION, The Terraces, Bungalow East, Selene, and the St. Regis at Bahia Mar are on the way, next to the Four Seasons Private Residences already standing.

If you bought into one of them, you’ll get the keys to a beautiful shell and a long list of decisions.

What a new tower needs from a designer

Developers hand over finished kitchens and baths and very little else. Everything that makes the place feel like yours is still open: furniture layout, lighting beyond the basics, window treatments, art, rugs, and how the balcony actually gets used.

The best time to bring me in is before closing. Floor plans are available early, so the design can be ready when the building is, instead of starting from an empty unit with furniture lead times still ahead of you.

Oceanfront, specifically

  • Glare off the water most of the day, so window treatments get planned around the view, never against it
  • Salt air on the balcony, which rules out a lot of outdoor furniture that looks great in a showroom
  • Big glass and open plans that feel empty fast without furniture at the right scale
  • Building rules on elevator reservations and delivery windows, which shape how everything arrives

A beach apartment I designed

On the Galt Mile, I designed an oceanfront apartment for a client who wanted it calm and easy. Soft, natural colors so the ocean stays the main event, warm wood, and deep teal dining chairs facing floor-to-ceiling windows.

Beth Wallace, the owner: “Every room now feels like a place I truly want to be.” See the Galt Mile project

Not in Florida yet?

Most new-tower buyers aren’t here full time. Presentations happen over video, selections come to you clearly laid out, and I keep you updated while you’re away. You weigh in on what matters to you, and the design keeps moving.
