Midcentury Tropical Style in Florida

These West Palm Beach, Florida, homeowners were drawn to midcentury modern designs and color and weren’t afraid to take some risks. They’d been thinking about how to transform their bland and dated primary bathroom for a while but didn’t have a vision in mind. So they looked to Houzz to find a local designer and admired the work of Julie LaBruna. As it turned out, the designer lived in their neighborhood, and they hired her.

LaBruna spoke with her clients about style and carefully observed the rest of their house. “When you walk through what appears to be the front door, you enter into a courtyard with a pool that has a lot of tropical plants. I also saw that they had a lot of colorful tropical artwork in their house,” she says. LaBruna determined that they liked midcentury style, lots of color and tropical flair. When she presented them with mood boards that incorporated midcentury and tropical style, they were fully on board.
