Interior Designer: Elaine Spottswood
This Key West residence is designed around the art of atmosphere—where light
shapes mood, comfort, and experience. The home effortlessly transforms throughout
the day, offering a serene, cocooned retreat for rest and unwinding, a sensual and
inviting ambiance for entertaining, and a focused, energized environment when
work calls for clarity and precision.
Layered, predominantly indirect lighting elements are thoughtfully integrated
throughout the home, enhancing a soft, ambient glow while promoting visual comfort
and mental ease. These subtle sources of light reduce glare and create spaces that
feel as calming to the mind as they are pleasing to the eye. The coastal-inspired
palette is elevated through the use of warm, refined illumination, enriching textures
and tones and allowing every surface to appear its most beautiful.
The result is a residence that adapts intuitively to its occupants—providing everything
they need, exactly when they need it, within a setting that feels effortless, luxurious,
and deeply personal.
