This plush island penthouse provides panoramic water views of Intracoastal sunrises and beachside sunsets. The artistically inspired interior reflects the work of Jen Kravchuk, senior designer at award-winning Decker Ross Interiors in Clearwater. Jen was elated to receive a call from a client she has worked with for many years who has impeccable taste, a discerning, artistic eye and the desire for a comfortable yet sophisticated high-quality design. At the time, Jen did not realize this waterfront penthouse would turn out to be her personal favorite design project of her thirteen-year career.

 

“It’s not often that I encounter a client who trusts me enough to allow me the creative freedom to develop such a plush, classic, elegant vision with few limitations,” she said. “It’s truly a designer’s dream.”

 

A mid-century modern luxurious design aesthetic with a soft pastel color palette was decided upon as the design direction. Blush pink, soft teal and neutrals, such as taupe and sand tones to be reflective of the panoramic beach and sky views, were used throughout. Adept at mixing materials and finishes to create an optimal design aesthetic, the designer incorporated

organic elements, such as wood, agate, brass, steel and glass in the furnishings, lighting and accessories. Her innovative designs also feature a variety of geometric shapes and quite a bit of textural contrast. In addition to leather, the rich elegant fabrics include chenille, shimmering linens, cut dimensional velvets, and faux fur to delight the eye and add visual interest in the rooms of this exquisite penthouse.
