Lori Morris’s Boca Bliss: An Extravagant Redesign for a Private Resort-Like Feel

Some designers favor understated, minimalist aesthetics. That has never been the case with Lori Morris, owner of Lori Morris Interior Design, renowned for her lavish, sophisticated, and opulent interiors. Morris’s latest project, Boca Bliss, continues her tradition of transforming spaces with bold colors, diverse textures, and bespoke furnishings.

The Lori Morris Interior Design brand is widely recognized for its distinct style, with Morris’s work gracing the pages of Forbes, ELLE Décor, and other top publications. She has designed luxury spaces ranging from sprawling South Florida estates to high-end lakefront retreats in Ontario’s cottage country. Her signature aesthetic—an eye-catching fusion of glamour and artistry—is highly sought after by discerning homeowners, and Boca Bliss is no exception. 

For this renovation, Morris’s client purchased the residence with a complete transformation in mind. Morris elevated the home’s classical elegance, transforming it into a thoughtfully designed retreat reminiscent of a private resort. The result is a space that exudes luxury and comfort, with bold materials and layered textures to create a rich and inviting ambiance. Ultimately, the goal was to create a sophisticated yet livable home, where the owners could effortlessly connect with family and friends. 

From the moment guests step inside, the home’s dramatic transformation is apparent. The grand foyer features a sweeping staircase with an ornate railing, complemented by blue velvet wall panels that set the tone for the rest of the residence. Meticulously crafted millwork and plaster detailing create a refined contrast with contemporary flourishes, while a Murano glass chandelier illuminates the upstairs landing. Throughout the home, striking modern art, sculptures, and statement furniture enhance the pastel-blue palette. 

Each room in Boca Bliss is a showcase of Morris’s signature grandeur. The piano room captivates with its deep emerald-green color scheme, featuring damask wallpaper, dark velvet furnishings, black millwork, and opulent gold accents. An awe-inspiring crystal chandelier, with a flower-like silhouette, adds a final touch of elegance. 

Equally impressive, the bar lounge offers a dramatic, sultry aesthetic. A sleek blue onyx slab with an arched alcove stylishly displays glassware and spirits. Three palm-shaped chandeliers hang above the black marble bar, reinforcing the space’s glamorous, vintage-inspired ambiance—reminiscent of a historic South Florida luxury hotel but with modern refinements. 

Designed as a gathering space, the family room fosters a sense of warmth and relaxation. Deep, soothing hues—including green velvet sofas and dark blue crocodile-patterned walls—create a cocooning effect. Stylish pillows, curated wall art, and ambient lighting enhance its cozy yet luxurious appeal. 

In contrast, the living room embraces a brighter aesthetic, with large windows allowing natural light to flood the space. Reflective surfaces, including glossy tables and polished floors, amplify this effect, while a delicate interplay of pastel blue and pink hues lends a soft, ethereal charm. Dark, velvety furnishings provide a grounding contrast, ensuring the space remains both elegant and inviting.  

Boca Bliss is a masterful reimagining of luxury living, seamlessly blending Morris’s signature style with the client’s vision of a private resort-like sanctuary. With rich color palettes, distinctive textures, and bespoke furniture from the Lori Morris Collection, every room exemplifies her unparalleled design sensibility. Standout spaces like the bar lounge and piano room highlight her ability to merge timeless sophistication with contemporary artistry—further cementing her status as a leading force in luxury interior design.
