In the heart of Boca Raton, a home unfolds like a story—one where architecture, craftsmanship, and personal expression come together in seamless harmony. The Silver Lane Residence, designed by Festa Radoni of Radoni Interiors, is a study in refined living, a home where every element speaks to thoughtful design and a deep connection to place. With sweeping views of the waterfront and interiors that exude both warmth and sophistication, this project captures the essence of Radoni’s signature aesthetic—an effortless balance between modernity and comfort, structure and softness, vision and reality.
A Designer’s Journey That Shaped a Signature Aesthetic
For Festa Radoni, the path to establishing her firm was paved with experience in some of the country’s most design-forward markets. Having spent a decade working alongside top designers in New York, California, and Florida, she absorbed the nuances of high-end residential design before taking the leap to launch Radoni Interiors.
“When I made the decision to leave New York City after ten years, I realized it was the right time to create spaces that reflected my personal vision,” she shares. “Fortunately, the timing was perfect, and I landed my first client in La Jolla, California, for two beach bungalow renovations—an experience that marked the exciting beginning of Radoni Interiors.”
Now based in Palm Beach County, she has cultivated a reputation for interiors that balance refinement with warmth, creating spaces that feel considered, sophisticated, and undeniably personal. At the core of her work is a commitment to collaboration—helping homeowners discover their own sensibility rather than imposing a singular style.
Creating a Home with a Sense of Flow and Connection
From the outset, the design direction for the Silver Lane Residence was clear. The home needed to feel both timeless and welcoming, embracing its coastal surroundings while maintaining a sense of understated elegance.
“The inspiration behind Silver Lane was to create a transitional, timeless design that also felt like a true home—warm and inviting,” Festa explains. “Given the home’s waterfront location, it was essential to design in a way that allowed the natural beauty of the outdoors to seamlessly flow into the interior.”
This philosophy is evident in every detail. The palette leans into natural hues and organic textures, creating an atmosphere that feels tranquil but deeply layered. Wide expanses of glass maximize the home’s connection to the outdoors, allowing the water to serve as a living artwork that shifts throughout the day.
Thoughtfully Crafted Details That Elevate the Space
For Radoni, lighting is never an afterthought. It is a defining element in how a space comes to life. At Silver Lane, sculptural fixtures create moments of drama and refinement, offering both function and artistry.
“Lighting was a key design feature, and we didn’t shy away from making bold choices,” she notes.
The grand two-story foyer sets the tone for the entire home. A striking 22-foot-long five-light fixture by Allied Maker draws the eye upward, complemented by a custom oversized peg art piece by Bradley Duncan. This statement-making entryway establishes an immediate sense of scale and sophistication.
In the club room, a custom rope light installation by Luke Lamp Co runs the length of the space with multiple drops, casting a soft, ambient glow that feels both modern and inviting. In the primary bedroom, rich textures define the space, where dark brown cowhide wallpaper by Elitis serves as the perfect backdrop for custom-designed nightstands that anchor the room.
Each of these elements was carefully considered, ensuring that every space feels intentional, cohesive, and personal.
Finding Balance Between Luxury and Intentionality
In a world where high-end interiors often equate luxury with excess, Festa takes a different approach. She believes that great design is about making thoughtful choices rather than overindulging in extravagance.
“Balancing the budget while maintaining the desired aesthetic was one of the biggest challenges,” she admits. “It’s important to be strategic about where to invest—high-end, custom pieces don’t have to be the focus of every part of the design. By thoughtfully mixing high and low elements, we were able to prioritize what truly mattered while still achieving a cohesive, luxurious feel.”
This curated approach is what gives the residence its effortless elegance. Instead of overloading the home with statement pieces, Festa was selective, investing in key focal points while integrating foundational elements that allow the design to breathe.
A Timeless Approach to Interiors That Feel Elevated Yet Livable
For homeowners drawn to the collected elegance of Silver Lane, Festa offers key takeaways to achieve a similarly elevated interior:
- A thoughtful floor plan and proper furniture sizing make all the difference. “Don’t be afraid to float furniture in a room—not everything has to be placed against a wall. Experimenting with different shapes creates flow and balance.”
- Texture is the foundation of warmth and depth. “When working with neutrals, paying attention to undertones is key—light hues can vary greatly. Incorporating textured fabrics alongside natural stones and wood brings warmth and dimension.”
- Contrast elevates a space. “Not everything has to be in nude tones. Variation and contrast help create visual interest, making a space feel intentional rather than flat.”
Why the Designer-Client Relationship Defines the Success of a Project
Beyond aesthetics, Festa believes the most successful projects come from a strong client-designer relationship.
“It’s important to choose someone who is committed to helping you discover and refine your own style, rather than pushing their personal aesthetic onto you,” she says. “A great designer understands both the space and your specific needs. While creating a visually pleasing home is important, the true focus should be on crafting a functional space that works seamlessly with your everyday life.”
Designing a home is a deeply personal experience, and Festa approaches each project with the care and attention it deserves. From the first conceptual sketches to the final styling details, her process ensures that the finished home is not just beautiful, but a true reflection of the people who live in it.
A New Standard for Coastal Sophistication
With the completion of this project, Festa Radoni reaffirms her place among today’s leading designers, known for her ability to create homes that are not just visually compelling but deeply attuned to the way people live. Her approach—rooted in precision, materiality, and a mastery of scale—demonstrates a refined sensibility that transcends trends.
For those seeking an interior that embodies elegance without excess and craftsmanship without compromise, Radoni Interiors offers a vision that is both sophisticated and enduring.
