Condo makeover

Condo makeover in the moorings, vero beach

Jill Shevlin Design helped a client show off an eclectic art collection in his Moorings Vero Beach condo.

For this condo makeover, Jill met her client in a storage warehouse to browse a plethora of art, furniture, accessories, and odds and ends that had been packed away for years.

The goal for this beach condo decor project was to create a colorful, casual space made for lounging that would also show off the art collection. Throughout the condo, white wall-to-wall carpet was installed to create a bright, clean space that would allow the bright art and furniture to pop.

An infrequently used dining table was replaced with two separate lounge areas and a modern, rolling bar cart with sleek stainless counter stools. The lounge areas include fun, colorful seating, like an accent chair with a modified spindle framework, yellow sofas, red barrel chairs, and striped rolling tufted ottomans.

This makeover project took place over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, which made sourcing and receiving furniture challenging. As a result, Jill recovered and reupholstered several items to create a custom look while avoiding delays. Ottomans, chairs, beds, and more were taken out of storage and given new life through fresh fabric and paint.

The master bedroom received a new, woven grass bed — a perfect piece of beach condo decor.

The guest room was revamped to replace two single twin beds with a king-size bed, made over accent chair, and statement wall art.

The office is the showstopper of the condo makeover, with a custom colorful sectional large enough for the occasional guest to sleep on. The room was intended to showcase art, photographs, and memories. The room perfectly pulls together an old-meets-new atmosphere.

Before long, this quirky Moorings Vero Beach condo was transformed from an old-school beach escape to an enviable and artistic bachelor pad.
