Go wild with color. Vacation homes are where you can let loose, so why not let your creative juices run wild? Not surprisingly for a designer known for his exuberant and irreverent designs, Jonathan Adler's Palm Beach, Florida, home is a riot of color and energy. Each section of his apartment focuses on one color. Here, orange sofas anchor a collage of graphics and patterns in citrus colors. Teardrop shapes — a reference to the ocean visible through the windows — tie the space together.
DO channel some superfunky Florida condo style. Think of a cool, crazy old lady proudly bedecked in a colorful caftan, lots of chunky beads and vibrant eye shadow, like Mrs. Roper on Three's Company. Edit the look down and mix in a lot of light neutrals to diffuse the crazy. The result will make your room look like a pop art canvas.
