The Best Shops in Palm Beach

If you’ve been following me, you know that I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Palm Beach earlier this year. Getting my fix of sunshine and warmth definitely reinvigorated me and the town was bursting with interior design inspiration everywhere I looked. One of my favorite things was visiting all the different shops to see what Palm Beach had on offer, and I was not disappointed! If you’re visiting the area, be sure to check out these four amazing locations. You won’t regret it!

1. Worth Avenue

Worth Avenue is not one specific shop, but rather a shopper’s paradise. It is filled with exclusive clothing boutiques and home furnishing shops. Many of them sell both clothing and furniture, which is great if you’re like me, and love both! Palm Beach is truly one of my favorite places to come and buy clothing, beautifully embroidered caftans, straw handbags and sandals, and beautiful home furnishings. The perfect area to spend a day in Palm Beach.

2. AERIN by Aerin Lauder

AERIN, located on Via Mizner, Palm Beach, is a luxury lifestyle store that sells clothing, accessories, beauty products, decor, and furniture. Aerin Lauder is the granddaughter of Estee’ Lauder and a renowned businesswoman. She founded AERIN on the idea that “living beautifully should be effortless.” She is known for being a lover of traveling, design, and fashion, and her stores truly reflect that style.

All of AERIN’s products fit perfectly into the Grand Millennial style that I love. Each piece is timeless with a modern flare. Simply being inside the shop gave me a lot of inspiration for my own designs. I was inspired by how elegant and simple many of the pieces were and how she used delicate pops of color to bring life to the shop. If you can’t make it to Palm Beach, AERIN also has locations in East Hampton and Southampton in New York, as well as an online shop!

3. IL Papiro

IL Papiro is the perfect shop if you’re looking at remodeling your home office, you love journaling, or you want to give someone a special gift! This shop is famous for its Italian marbleized papers inspired by Tuscan tradition. They specialize in desk accessories, picture frames, dust bins, storage boxes, journals, and more. Every single item in this shop was beautifully handcrafted with the most elegant designs. Having your workspace filled with beautiful items helps create a more productive atmosphere and motivates you throughout the workday. Because of that, I really recommend buying desk accessories from this shop.

IL Papiro is historically important, because its founders revived this nearly extinct Tuscan tradition of paper-making, and marbleizing paper. Each item is created in Firenze Italy and imported to their shops around the world! They have 14 shops in Italy, 1 shop in America (Palm Beach), 2 shops in London, and 1 in Australia. If you can’t make it to Palm Beach, they also offer custom orders if you’re planning an event, such as a wedding, and want invitations made!

4. Walker Zabriskie Furniture

The next best Palm Beach shop to visit is the Walker Zabriskie Furniture store on Worth Avenue. Inspired by his travels, Walker Zabriskie has brought his signature style to Palm Beach. His shop is simply filled with beautiful and unique furniture pieces, artwork, and decor from all over the world, namely Bali, Europe, Africa, and India. When I visited, I was especially captivated by their beautiful ceramic lamps and artwork. Their accessories and furnishings are all unique and would add a wonderful “well-traveled” look to any house.

Walker regularly travels the world to bring Palm Beach only the most beautiful items. This is a perfect shop to visit if you’re inspired by different design styles around the world and would like to bring that into your home!

The Colors of Palm Beach

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting Palm Beach and refreshing all my interior design inspiration and ideas. I visited various furniture and decor shops, and different hotels to see everything that Palm Beach had to offer. Palm Beach has a rich history for designers and artists alike. Over the past century, artists like Lily Pulitzer have visited and influenced the design of Palm Beach. Perhaps the best thing that stood out to me after a long winter was all the beautiful colors of Palm Beach. Everywhere I looked was bursting with vibrant color and life. Looking around it was like everything was planned to be seen together – the beautiful blue skies complimented each flower which seemed to match each painted building. Keep reading to find out the best colors of Palm Beach and where to find them.

In Nature

When it comes to beauty, little can compare to Mother Nature herself. The most vibrant and striking colors of course were those found in nature. From the deep blue of the ocean to the sandy beige beaches, the brilliant blue of the sky, the luscious green trees, and the vibrant fuchsia bougainvillea, every corner of Palm Beach boasted of beautiful and colorful nature. What an inspiration to experience that after such a long and cold winter. Taking in each and every color that the Earth was offering my eyes seemed to rejuvenate my spirit and definitely inspired me to bring more elements of nature into my designs. As discussed in our article about unmissable paint trends, paying homage to the Earth is becoming increasingly central to interior design.

In Architecture

It’s clear to me that the architects and designers who built up Palm Beach were just as inspired by the colors of nature as I was. Each painted building seemed to compliment the bright blue sky. Perhaps my favorite of all was The Colony Hotel, known as Palm Beach’s “pinkest hotel.” The Colony is a go-to destination for stars and tourists alike. It’s painted a beautiful dusty pink color that compliments the blue skies and blends into each sunset and sunrise. Even their golf carts were pink! And The Colony Hotel is not the only building painted vibrantly. Across all of Palm Beach are beautifully painted buildings in pastel shades that both uplift and compliment the beautiful colors of nature around them.

In design

It would be no good if the beautiful colors of Palm Beach were limited to the outdoors. So of course the designers have brought these vibrant colors indoors into each design. The interior of The Colony Hotel is classy, chic, and uses colors elegantly. In one of their dining rooms, for instance, the walls are painted a lovely pale yellow color and the rest of the design is kept quite neutral toned except for the dining chairs beautifully upholstered in a breathtaking colorful pattern that honors the orange trees of Florida. Additionally, the shops I visited were also full of colorful items which leads me to believe that the homes of Palm Beach are surely full of vibrant color as well!

Palm Beach: Bursting With Inspiration

A few weeks back from Palm Beach and I’m still inspired by everything I saw. Being surrounded by color really can uplift your mood and my visit definitely inspired me and my designs moving forward.
