100 TAMPA BAY MAGAZINE | JULY/AUGUST 2019
Decker Ross Interiors’ talented lead designers,
Jen Kravchuk and Marci Tempesta, joined
creative forces to freshen up the dated tropical
décor for the residents of the Mandalay Beach
Club on Clearwater Beach. The new clean line coastal
design features a soothing light, airy color palette of
neutral sand tones with pops of soft aqua and sea glass.
The designers utilized multiple wood tones including
dark espresso rattan, light driftwood, and live edge
wood finishes. They balanced smooth hard surfaces
with natural accents and a variety of designer fabrics
to provide visual interest and textural contrast.

chairs backed with contrasting coral fabric are
accentuated by designer pillows, an orchid in a
capiz shell vase and soothing abstract art, and
anchored by a yucca tree.
