How To Get The Look Of Bethenny Frankel's Luxe Miami Apartment
Whether you know her as a Real Housewife, a reality show contestant, or as the successful entrepreneur who created the Skinnygirl cocktails, Bethenny Frankel is the larger-than-life personality behind an undeniably powerful personal brand. Fans were thrilled when she recently gave a behind-the-scenes tour of her new Miami apartment on Instagram. Several years after showing off her 4,000 square foot SoHo artist's loft, and with plenty of real estate renovations under her belt, it looks like Frankel has ditched the city skyline for ocean views. Crediting the design team at United Spaces and professional organizers from Heart & Co., Frankel leaned into playful coastal motifs, from pink flamingos to brilliant coral, to create a colorful and inviting space to enjoy with her daughter, Brynn Hoppy. By using simple peel-and-stick wallpaper, practical furniture that offers ample storage, and thoughtfully curated and styled accessories, you can get the look of Bethenny Frankel's luxe Miami apartment.
After stepping off the elevator, Frankel's apartment tour started in an entryway decorated with NuWallpaper Pink Flamingo Vinyl Peelable Wallpaper. Along with hanging a cheerful wall covering, follow her lead by decorating with mirrors to visually enlarge your own entryway. You can create a strong focal point with large statement pieces like the Creative Co-Op Firwood Boho Wall Mirror above a console table topped with accessories like palm-shaped trays and wicker baskets that are a subtle nod to a cool coastal theme.
Use peel-and-stick wallpaper to create beautiful spaces without wasting money
Despite being a self-made millionaire, Bethenny Frankel takes an economical approach to home décor and doesn't like to waste money. Although peel-and-stick wallpaper has some major drawbacks, it is budget-friendly and this may be the reason why she opted for so much of it in her new Miami apartment. Even if you're on a tight budget, you can get an identical look to Frankel's living room by covering a small wall with Tempaper Rose Pink Coral Reef Removable Wallpaper. Then, install white floating shelves to hold framed family photos, and place a rattan cabinet similar to the Rovaurx Modern Sideboard underneath. Frankel topped hers with a coffee table book by Ralph Lauren and rose gold martini set, but you can use any special accessories you like to make the space feel expensive and luxurious.
Frankel used another peel-and-stick covering, Graham & Brown Anthriscus Blush Removable Wallpaper, in her bedroom. A slightly more expensive choice at $160 per roll, it's easy to find at Home Depot. The millennial pink and rose gold hues will make your own bedroom look feminine, but not cutesy. To copy Frankel's luxe look, add some textural interest with a creamy boucle headboard. Then, pair it with crisp white sheets and a fun nautical knot pillow, like the Sioloc Handmade Round Plush. Place a large neutral rug underneath your bed to round out the look and keep your space from feeling too precious.
Use furniture and accessories that are both pretty and practical
From framing a large card with a fun pooch print to repurposing a small white stool (originally from her place in the Hamptons) in one of the bathrooms, Bethenny Frankel's new apartment incorporated pretty and practical choices that you can make in your own home. When it comes to budget-friendly ideas for organizing your closet, Frankel recommended adding rods and using lots of clear bins and baskets. She also used several arched Mason curio cabinets from Urban Outfitters to add extra bathroom storage. At $700, they are a higher ticket item. If you love the look but can't fit a major furniture purchase into your budget, try the IFGET Tall Arched Kitchen Pantry Cabinet instead.
Although the ocean views from the breezy balcony are the real showstoppers, Frankel also opted for accessible bedroom furniture and accessory choices to make her Miami apartment feel luxurious. You can easily flank your own bed with two Meridian Furniture Mid-Century Modern Nightstands that stand out thanks to their curvy design and natural burl finish. Frankel added a vanity desk like the highly rated IRONCK LED Lighted Mirror Makeup Table to her daughter's room. It's a great choice if you need a place of your own to get ready for a girls' night out. To recreate her apartment's luxe look, no matter which furniture or accessories you choose, make sure your color palette leans heavily into coastal pinks and greens. Keep the overall look light and cohesive by limiting the rest of the palette to white, black, and wicker.
