Designer / Steven G / Interiors by Steven G
As with other rooms in a Fort Lauderdale home, waterfront views can add a dramatic flourish to a dining and entertaining space. Taking advantage of it means designing spaces where the eye is always led towards the water.

Living Room: Contemporary Meets Classic
Designer / Perla Lichi / Perla Lichi Design
An ode to Fort Lauderdale’s famous attribute, the beach, this living area combines coziness with the essentials of this city. The blue tones remind us of the ocean while the white adds contemporary style. The overall tone allows the views to take center stage.
Perla Lichi says: “The perfect Fort Lauderdale home needs a great water view, place for entertaining and a guest room that converts to casual living room (or other usable space) when there are no guests. The ideal Florida home should be designed in the client’s ‘dream home’ style, be it contemporary, classic or somewhere in between.”

A family-oriented home calls for spacious living areas with warm colors and comfortable seating arrangements. In addition, when creating the right atmosphere for entertaining guests, it’s possible to accomplish a lot simply by using the right accents throughout.
