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!

Designer Nadia Watts of Denver is a great-great granddaughter of master jeweler and glass designer Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany & Co., and she took cues from Tiffany’s rich color palette and design sensibility to welcome visitors to the show house.  With a 13-foot ceiling, the front loggia features comfortable seating with a color pallet of green, gray and yellow.  

From there visitors head into the foyer, which is decorated as gallery with a rich color scheme inspired by pieces of Tiffany leaded glass Watts has collected over the years. The forms in the hand-painted ceiling resemble leaded glass, and its colors are Tiffiny-esque turquoise and gold, complemented elsewhere by pink and tangerine.

The gallery’s custom hand-knotted, 28-foot rug has noteworthy center medallions. “In citrus, teal blue and bright-green chartreuse, they contain the shapes of an oval antique brooch, which is more than 125 years old and in the Tiffany archives,” she says. 

Watts points out another nod to Tiffany — the lush adornments of tassels and trims.

Jewel Tones Meet Colorful Accents

A 28-foot custom rug by Retorra greets visitors to this lively entry room dubbed “Jeweled Gallery” by Nadia Watts Interior Design. The rug’s center medallions are modeled after an oval brooch from The Tiffany Archives. Jewel tones adorn the walls and ceiling, the latter of which is covered in a Porter Teleo wallcovering that was handmade for the room. Serving as the official art curator for several of the show’s designers, Singulart provided original art pieces like the vibrant pink painting by Gary Komarin above the sofa. Together, the room explores the interplay of color, from bright to muted to everything in between.

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.

Nadia Watts Interior Design: Front Loggia/Foyer/Gallery

Denver-based designer Nadia Watts is tasked with transforming a unique space: the front loggia that also serves as a foyer and gallery. She leaned into her family history for the design inspiration, as her great-great-grandfather was Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose legendary colorful, patterned glassware is still coveted today. Watts utilized his affinity for celestial and saturated jewel tones to create a warm and dramatic space that still manages to evoke a sense of calm that suits whatever the owners need after a busy day.
