House Beautiful - 7 Things People Over 30 Should Have in Their Home, According to Designers

Thank you to House Beautiful and Shelby Deering for featuring us—I’m so grateful to share my passion for creating beautiful spaces!

Decor can become more meaningful in our 30s and beyond. “Perhaps it's an antique from a relative or photographs from your favorite vacations,” Watts says. “In your 30s, you feel yourself choosing items that spark good memories and feelings versus utilitarian things that serve a basic purpose.”

House Beautiful - 9 Little-Known Destinations where you can still find Incredible Antiques.

Thank you House Beautiful and the lovely Sarah Lyon for including our little-known destinations to find incredible antiques in Denver and Palm Beach Florida!

Denver

Designer Nadia Watts, who is based in Denver, returns to many of the same local antiques shops time and time again. “South Broadway offers loads of antique and thrift stores, so you have something for everyone’s budget,” says the founder of Nadia Watts Interior Design. “Black Tulip Antiques (also selling on Chairish) is a go-to for me; they offer a highly diverse inventory of European furniture, accessories, lighting, silver, and decorative arts.”

Watts is also partial to Eron Johnson Antiques, which is located in a sprawling 5,000-square-foot warehouse. “With inventory dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries and originating from over 40 countries, Eron’s passion for antiques is on full display,” she says. “Eron has a love of peculiar objects as well as exquisite antiques, so you never know what exciting treasure you will find.”

Palm Beach Florida

While participating in the 2024 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach, Watts learned about many of the city’s incredible antique resources. “I have the best luck when I get to go on the hunt, and Show Pony Palm Beach is the ultimate hunting ground,” she says, describing the retailer’s many large warehouses “filled to the ceilings with treasures.” You can find pieces in many design styles, including Victorian, gothic, and midcentury.

A look inside Kips Bay Palm Beach!

What a wild and wonderful ride it has been! Designing The Lively Loggia and Jeweled Gallery at the Kips Bay 2024 Designer Showhouse in West Palm Beach, FL, was an exhilarating experience. Collaborating with The Shade Store, we created custom drapes using my Kravet Gem Collection Fabric, infusing the space with vibrant colors and luxurious textures.

Last week’s event at the Kravet showroom (Denver), hosted by The Shade Store, provided a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Denver design community and share the behind-the-scenes stories of our showhouse journey. I'm grateful to Kravet and The Shade Store for their amazing sponsorship, which made this project possible.

If you missed the discussion, not to worry! You can still take a virtual tour of the showhouse here, and check out this article, which features The Jeweled Gallery and offers inspiring design insights from the show.

Thank you to everyone who supported and followed along with our Kips Bay adventure. Stay tuned for more exciting projects to come!

JEWEL TONES

Several designers opted for jewel-toned colors in their rooms—especially shades of sapphire blue, emerald, and turquoise—but we think Nadia Watts Interior Design officially gave this trend star status. Inspired by her legendary great-great-grandfather, Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany Studios, she incorporated the saturated colors found in his iconic stained glass.

From the turquoise Porter Teleo-clad walls to the sparkling green glass Currey & Company chandeliers, you feel like you’re literally stepping inside a jewel box. Whether you embrace this glamorous trend by lacquering your walls a deep emerald or opt for ruby-hued objets d’art, this color palette is endlessly versatile—and here to stay.
