When Bunny Williams started decorating this Mediterranean-style villa in Palm Beach, there was one final goal- the fifteen-year-old home should “look settled, as it had always been there.” The retired couple added a wing and re-did the pool and landscape. Williams provided that forever look, but one that is relevant and up to date. She brought in lots of 18th-century Italian antiques and combined them with current pieces.
The guesthouse which is used for movie nights has a custom digital wallcovering by Artgroove.
Modern art on the walls mingles with Italian and English antiques and more timeless pieces as a pair of Swedish klismos seats. The color palette Bunny Williams chose came from an “aha moment” she had while staring out the windows during the project’s very early planning stages. “I was looking at all the foliage, and I suddenly decided to do everything in an acid apple green,” she says of the living room’s upholstered furniture. “When you do one color, it’s less busy,” she says. Many of the walls were left deliberately ivory for the owner’s contemporary art with bright colors.

Another room that is pink in the house is the breakfast room.
The master bedroom is bathed in soothing shades of pinks. The canopy bed is by John Robshaw.
