Decor Crush: Joana Krupa’s Miami Pad

If I had a home in Miami (or anywhere seaside for that matter), I would want it to look like Joana Krupa’s. I’ve been getting sneak peaks of it on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami, until I came upon these photos. I love the modern and sleek decor, the muted black and white color scheme, and the floral accents all throughout the house.

How amazing are the floor-to-ceiling windows and the panoramic view of Miami?

The gorgeous balcony that surrounds the living room. I would have placed chaises and bar stools and tables there.

My favorite corner of the house. The candles, the oversize vase, and of course the James Dean painting. Does anyone else think that Joana’s fiance, Romaine, kind of looks like James Dean?

Love the floral accents throughout the apartment.

The sleek bathroom with the spa bathtub.

Bedroom. Love, love, love the lamps and the carpeting.

I don’t love the walk-in closet just because it doesn’t seem to match the rest of the modern, clutter-free decor of the house. I would have imagined a home like her’s to have a white wood and glass walk-in with an island in the middle.

Knob Change: A Home Decor Update

The easiest (and cheapest way) to update one’s home decor is to change the knobs. Whether for a dresser (as seen above), door, or closet, you can almost always find knobs and handles for under $10. I instantly updated my classic white dresser and added a pop of color to my bedroom with some Anthropologie knobs that I found on sale. For the best result, mismatch knobs of different shapes, colors, and materials. My personal favorites are the various Anthropologie knobs and Zara Home knobs that range from $2.95 to $24.
