Gil Walsh Interiors’ Top InCollect Picks: Palm Beach Perfection
|
|
Since its founding in 2007, Gil Walsh Interiors has quietly emerged as a premier design firm, noted not only for exquisitely detailed work, but also for the diversity of their projects. From luxury homes, country clubs, and executive offices to elegant resort hotels, the Gil Walsh touch has brought a unique sense of place to distinguished interiors from coast to coast. With offices in Palm Beach and Martha’s Vineyard, the firm applies cutting edge methods and materials to produce environments that transcend trends, while taking into consideration the client’s unique vision.
The firm is helmed by Gil Walsh -- one of the country’s leading interior designers, best known for her refined aesthetic and knack for seamlessly integrating style and function into all of her projects. Walsh, who grew up in a beautifully styled home filled with classic decor, was drawn to interior design because it enabled her to integrate her keen fashion sense with her deep interest in art history, architecture, and antiques. Classically trained in the 1970s, Walsh learned from the masters of French, English, and Italian design. Her hands-on training with celebrated craftsmen in areas of furniture, woodworking, and plastering, is evident in her interiors, which showcase myriad bespoke elements such as one-of-a-kind antiques, custom furniture, unique textiles, and striking architectural features.
Walsh browsed InCollect and selected pieces that, to her, reflect classic Palm Beach style. Eclectic, exuberant, and functional, Palm beach style is typified by bright palettes, clean lines, and reverence for the stunning surroundings. In addition to its jaw-dropping ocean views, lush natural landscape, and magnificent sunsets, Palm Beach is home to some of the finest mid century modern design in the country. British Colonial, Georgian, and Bermuda-style structures are interspersed with bold modernist buildings and the shops on Antiques Row are teeming with mid century modern design treasures as well as Art Deco masterpieces, neoclassical furniture, and much more.
