Coastal bedroom design by Britto Charette with smart lighting
MIAMI–Britto Charette adapts to coastal concepts like fish to water. Founded by two outstanding interior designers, Jay Britto and David Charette of Britto Charette create ultra-luxurious residential properties throughout the US. While Miami may be their home base, they have clients all over, including the Hamptons in New York. Their “coastal” concepts can vary from region to region.
Breaking down coastal concepts in an interview, Mr. Britto said, “Coastal Key West uses more woods that are painted or distressed and accessorized with linens, prints and plenty of materials. Palm Beach is more transitional, while Miami has the clean look which appears more sophisticated.”
