Tommy Hilfiger Turns an Awkward Corner into a Dreamy Palm Beach Breakfast Nook – A Brilliant Lesson in Design and Restraint

Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Hilfiger.

Color, texture, and interesting shapes can transform even the most awkwardly shaped corner. With towering pillars and a limestone fireplace, the breakfast room in Dee and Tommy Hilfiger's Palm Beach home was a doosie; they needed a solution that created living space without covering up the home's unique bones. A jewelbox breakfast nook was the perfect answer.

Working with the iconically bold interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, the couple transformed 'Coral House' into the elegant home you see today. The home was built in 1972 by John Volk, one of the Big Five architects credited with creating the Palm Beach style, endowing it with its bright, Mediterranean charm.
