Ballard Designs Set to Open First-Ever Design Studio in West Palm Beach

Ballard Designs, a multichannel home décor and furniture design company, unveiled plans to open its first-ever Design Studio store in West Palm Beach later this summer. The new store is designed as a studio concept location to provide customers with eclectic furniture and decor featuring a streamlined process for design individuality and customization.

Unlike a traditional Ballard store, which offers a wide range of products that customers can buy and take home immediately, the Design Studio concept will provide customers with a one-on-one experience that promotes individuality and customization.

An on-site team of professional design consultants will help customers bring their ideas to life and provide a streamlined ordering and installation process. The Design Studio team will also assist local trade professionals with their clients’ needs.

The new 2,500 square feet West Palm Beach Studio will include Lifestyle vignettes of Ballard’s most popular furniture, fabric, rug and finish samples of Ballard’s entire assortment. It will also feature accessories, books, pillows and throws to purchase. Ballard Designs offers several store formats, including large stores with a wide range of products and medium stores with a selection of the company’s best products, outlets, and studios that focus on one-on-one design consulting.

The new West Palm Beach locations will add to two existing Florida locations in Jacksonville and Tampa. The company is also expanding its footprint of brick-and-mortar stores across key markets in the United States. By early 2023, it plans to open new stores in three markets: Austin, Texas, Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, and relocation in Jacksonville. It also recently launched locations in Nashville, Tennessee, in late 2020 and Houston in early 2021.

 “Not only do we plan to service existing, loyal customers, but we’re looking to attract a whole new audience that’s passionate about home décor in untapped areas of the country,” Karen Mooney says, president of Ballard Designs.

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
