MAITE GRANDA

“I have never thought of being anything else other than a designer,” says Maite Granda. “My mother is my mentor. She loves to decorate

and embellish her house. As a child, I would cut flowers from our backyard to make arrangements while cinnamon sticks were boiling on the stove to make the house smell good. She taught us to that everything has a place, and how important it is to be organized.” Today, Interiors by Maite Granda specializes in turn-key service. “After moving around for years, I realized that this service is a must for people who are relocating, buying a second home, or those in their golden years who don’t have the energy to go through a remodeling and design process,” she says. “I enjoy helping clients accomplish all of that.”

Design philosophy: “My design philosophy is that simplicity means elegance and it invites comfort into a home. These factors are very much appreciated in today’s world.”

Essential must-have: “In Florida, impact windows and doors are a must; everything else is relative. While some clients enjoy a home theater, others prefer a room to meditate or read a book.”

Trend Prediction: “Color trends for 2016 will follow a similar tendency to this year, with lots of aquas, blues, pinks, salmon and neutrals.”

1. This living room is inspired by the artwork of Ignacio Gana. An open space built between the living and guest room was transformed into an indoor patio with hanging swings. 2. This room was designed with the in-laws in mind. Located next to the indoor patio, it serves as a TV room or guestroom with a Murphy bed, closet and multiple shelves. 3. An informal dinette area is next to another family room overlooking the pool and playground area. 4. Fancy pinks, whites and light wood colors set the tone for this shabby-chic girl’s toddler bedroom. 5. A room fit for a little princess, this space has a 4-poster bed, chandelier, pink comforter, fairy lights, singing stage and much more. Photos 1-3 by Rolando Diaz; 4-5 by Cesar P. Beato.
