Let’s dive into Jonathan Adler’s amazing Palm Beach project, where geometric rugs made the difference between turning this home into a fun home.
For a splendid home that is literally only steps away from the beach, the renowned interior designer, Jonathan Adler, decided that he wanted this home to almost blend in with its spectacular surroundings, which ended up in Adler making a decision to use a more coastal decor style, using geometric rugs to bring out a more dynamic personality to the entire apartment,
It was masterfully designed in order to bring out a more artistic glow, made with carefully placed decor elements that complement each other and bring out that coastal, beachside feel Adler is going for.
The decor is composed mostly of minimalist furniture, paired with neutral tones, such as grey and beige, with light blue and lighter greens, which makes it so that a sense of breezy tranquility that the geometric rugs around the house help create.
Palm Beach‘s surroundings are being fully explored by Jonathan Adler in this home, which he does by using wide windows, pairing the golden scenery with more elegant and pompous decor, featuring gold colors, neutral tones, minimalist furniture, and in this particular room, an oval rug, with irregular patterns and textures, that make it stand out from other geometric rugs.
Regardless of the changes in choice of furniture and decor, the same beachside feeling that Adler was going for is still very much present here, meaning that the choices in design style have been successful in transmitting Adler’s goals.
The clients, Philip A. Nardone Jr. and Scott E. Peltier, were familiar with Adler’s work, wanted something glamorous and and ruly unique, in their own words: “What you did in your unit is how we’d like to live in Palm Beach“, and according to Philip, “We wanted to dial ours up to 10 Jonathan Adler—full-on foot to the pedal.”, to which Adler perfectly understood the assignement.
“Just as a designer wants to be a mirror, reflecting the client at their most glamorous. I wanted to curate my collection in a way that captures Philip and Scott without looking like a showroom.”

Unsurprisingly, the kitchen keeps up with the zen, coastal vibe that surrounds this home, choosing to keep the same color tones we have seen so far, although choosing a more blue color palette, while investing in minimalist furniture and natural materials.
The geometric rugs we have seen so far have been pretty simple and straightforward, and the choice for geometric rugs in this particular room serves a grander purpose of creating contrast and giving a much more refined, sophisticated, and even elegant feeling to the room, which is something that the others did, yet not to this extent.
Which means that these geometric rugs have been fitting the home’s overall aesthetic, although they adapt ever so slightly to each room’s slightly diverging ambience and theme, making it so that every room is different and unique from one another.
This allows for every room to feel at least a little bit different from the last one, which makes it so that this home doesn’t feel monotonous and repetitive at all.
Adler, however, didn’t find the need to use geometric rugs in every section of this home, as we can clearly see in this dining room, where the same ambience and minimalist, beachside feel was kept alive and active, through different means, such as the unique acrylic shark decor, the suave wooden table, and the minimal white, cushioned chairs.
The breathtaking view of the beachside is kept present in the same way we saw in the other rooms, as the home’s surroundings are some of the most important features that make this home stand out from all the rest.
Lastly, let’s take a look at the hallway, whose centerpiece consists of a geometrical artwork, which makes this room feel a bit different from the rest of the home we’ve seen so far, although it keeps some of the features we have seen in the geometric rugs, namely the repeating patterns, that make us reminsce of the home’s beachside surroundings.
“We’re a fun, creative, curious couple—and Jonathan is a fun, creative, curious designer. We told him, ‘Bring it on. And he did.”
