Taking cues from local architecture, sunsets and landscapes, the overall look of HGTV Dream Home 2016 is classic with a fresh Floridian twist.

Inspired by the washed-out grays seen in the decking planks of local boardwalks, interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn chose colors with gray undertones to keep hues happy and alive without becoming overly bright or intense.

Put a fresh twist on Floridian colors by adding muted grays into the mix along with coral, terra cotta or turquoise tones.

“While I'm a fan of dark woods, I liked the idea of using natural, light colored woods similar to those seen on the interior of the boardwalk gazebo ceilings,” says Brian.
