Interior Design in Admirals Cove: A Local Perspective
December 16, 2025

Admirals Cove is one of Jupiter’s most recognized luxury communities. The homes sit on the Intracoastal, overlook golf courses, and the homeowners here expect their interiors to match.
Over the past three decades, our team has completed multiple full home designs within this gated waterfront community. Each project taught us something different about what residents here actually want from their homes. This post shares those lessons as a practical guide for homeowners considering their own interior design in Admirals Cove.
What follows reflects our real experience working in Jupiter’s most established luxury neighborhood.
Admirals Cove attracts a specific kind of homeowner. Most have owned multiple residences. They understand quality. They know what they like. And they expect their homes to reflect that.
The homes here vary considerably. Some overlook the Intracoastal Waterway. Others face the golf course. A few, like our Luxe Cove project, sit directly on the water with private docks. These differences matter because they fundamentally shape how light enters each space, which views deserve emphasis, and how the home connects to outdoor living.
Successful design in this community starts with understanding how the homeowner actually lives. Whether they entertain weekly or prefer quiet evenings. Whether the kitchen is the center of the home or just a pass through. Whether they need a guest suite ready year round or a home office that actually functions.
Most Admirals Cove homeowners aren’t planning to leave anytime soon. They’ve chosen this community for a reason. We design with that timeline in mind.
In Admirals Cove, kitchens serve multiple roles. They anchor the main living space. They provide sightlines to the water or the golf course. They support everyday cooking and occasional larger gatherings.
In our Sculpted Serenity project, the original kitchen faced the front of the home instead of the water. We relocated the entire kitchen to capture those views, designing a layout with clear circulation and an island positioned to take advantage of the natural light. The homeowner now cooks with the Intracoastal in front of them instead of behind.
The Waterfront Luxury kitchen didn’t need relocation. The bones were already there. So we focused on materials and details. Book matched stone counters. A sculpted ceiling with integrated lighting. A mirrored hood that reflects the water behind you.
Great kitchens start with smart layouts. The finishes make them feel complete.
Design flows from one space to the next. The palette in your living room should make sense whether you walk into the master bedroom, guest suite, or office.
The Luxe Cove project demonstrates this well. The client was moving from a larger estate into a townhome. She wanted to keep the character of her previous home and build the design around artwork she’d collected over the years. We centered the master bedroom around a cherished art piece she owned. Everything else in the room, from the palette to the lighting to the furniture placement, supports it.
We treat bathrooms in Admirals Cove homes the same way we treat every other room. In Moody Blues the master bath carries the same blue accents and chrome finishes as the main living spaces. The stone, the cabinetry, the hardware. It all connects.
Living rooms in Admirals Cove get used in different ways. Morning coffee with a view. Afternoons with grandkids. The occasional larger gathering. The space should work for all of it.
The two story great room in our Waterfront Luxury project makes this balance tangible. A glass catwalk connects the upper and lower levels, creating volume and visual interest. Expansive sliding doors frame the water and open directly to the pool, patio, and private dock. The space is big enough to entertain and comfortable enough for everyday use.
Sculpted Serenity required adding a dedicated bar as a focal point for entertaining. The client wanted to host, and the original layout offered no natural gathering spot. We created that space without letting it dominate the floor plan. The bar functions beautifully during parties. The rest of the time, the living areas stay comfortable and uncluttered.
In a waterfront setting the relationship between indoor and outdoor space matters as much as any room in the house.
Most clients with waterfront homes want to see the water from as many angles as possible. That drives the whole design. Furniture placement. Window treatments. Even art selection. Nothing should compete with what’s out
In our Waterfront Luxury project, the relationship between the great room and the pool deck is the heart of the entire design. Open those doors and the living space doubles. Close them and you still have unobstructed views of the water through floor to ceiling glass. The architecture makes both conditions feel equally natural.
We’ve completed multiple projects within Admirals Cove over the years. Here are four currently featured on our website, each with different scope, different challenges, and different client priorities.
Sculpted Serenity required a complete transformation. We replaced vaulted ceilings with sleek modern planes, relocated the kitchen entirely, and introduced three dimensional architectural details throughout. Moody Blues centered on collaboration with a client deeply involved in material selection. The result balanced bold blue accents against polished stone and chrome details throughout. Waterfront Luxury was new construction, which gave us the chance to design around the site from day one. A two story great room and glass catwalk make the most of the waterfront location. Luxe Cove helped a client downsize from a custom estate while maintaining the elegance she expected from her home.
The challenges in this community tend to be specific. Existing structures don’t always maximize their sites. Previous renovations may have created awkward transitions. Community standards require designs that feel appropriate to the neighborhood while still expressing individual taste.
Over thirty five years, we’ve designed many homes throughout Jupiter and Palm Beach County. Admirals Cove is one of many neighborhoods where we’ve had the privilege of working with long term clients.
Renovating or building in Admirals Cove starts with understanding how the home will actually be used. Whether the scope is a kitchen update, rethinking your layout, or new construction, our process begins with a clear conversation about how you live and what you want your home to support long term.

Admirals Cove homes differ based on orientation, whether they face the water or the golf course, and how each homeowner actually uses their space. Before redesigning, consider whether your kitchen captures the views or ignores them, how light enters each room throughout the day, and whether the layout supports how you live now rather than how the home was originally designed.
Most projects involve full home renovations, major layout changes, or new construction. Homeowners often want to modernize interiors, improve flow, and ensure the design reflects how they plan to live in the home long term rather than preparing it for resale.
An interior designer focuses on space planning, layouts, and how a home functions as a whole. They often work alongside architects and builders when walls need to move or spaces need to be reconfigured. A decorator focuses on furnishings, finishes, and styling within an existing layout. A designer can do both. We explain this in more detail in our post on the difference between an interior designer and a decorator.
Full home projects typically take at least 12 months depending on scope and complexity. Layout changes, custom details, and coordination with builders all affect the timeline. For a more detailed breakdown, read our blog post on how long an interior design project takes. If you’d like a clearer sense of timing for your home, we’re happy to walk through it during a consultation.
Our process is collaborative and tailored to the homeowner. Some clients prefer a high level of involvement in material and detail selection, while others prefer to be hands off. The level of involvement is established early on and reflected throughout the project.
