Shape Shifter

Krista Watterworth Alterman of Krista Watterworth Design Studio employed circular pieces and creative problem solving in this Deerfield Beach bungalow. “Using round elements where there are a lot of angular and straight lines gives life to a space and creates balance,” Watterworth says. “The homeowners wanted a sleek, mid-century modern look but presented a unique challenge as the husband is quite tall and wanted pieces that would be comfortable for him.  Luckily, Eames had just come out with a larger version of its iconic chair, [which] fit perfectly in the space. [Also,] the wide is originally from Texas and wanted some rustic elements in the home.  Rustic does not usually go with mid-century modern, but the round teak balls work well here and add the organic vibe [she] wanted.” Palm Beach Gardens (561-530-3983, kristawatterworth.com)
