Project Details:
Set along Tampa Bay in Tampa’s Westshore area, this six-bedroom home brings together the warmth of traditional design and the clean lines of modern interiors. Crespo Design Group created a transitional setting for a young, growing family, pairing an open living plan with child- and pet-friendly materials. Unobstructed water views provide the backdrop, while expressive furnishings, layered textures, and color give the home a personality of its own.
An arched entrance introduces a spacious foyer, where a round table and colorful chairs establish the home’s welcoming character. Dark flooring and crisp architectural trim carry through the interiors, connecting rooms that balance classic forms with contemporary lighting and artwork. The nearby dining room offers a more formal setting while remaining visually connected to the surrounding spaces.
In the main living area, dark ceiling beams frame an open arrangement of kitchen, dining, and seating spaces. A generous gray sectional, green armchairs, and a tufted ottoman create a comfortable gathering place. Blue glass lamps, patterned rugs, and bright accent pieces add depth to the neutral foundation. Large windows and glass doors keep the bay in view and connect everyday family life with the waterfront setting.
The bedrooms continue this mix of comfort and individual expression. In the primary bedroom, a substantial wood bed, a blue patterned rug, textured wall treatments, and a sculptural chandelier bring traditional and contemporary elements together. A separate sitting area opens to a covered balcony. Children’s rooms take a more playful direction, with bunk beds, colorful textiles, display shelves, and space for toys and activities.
A family lounge introduces another place to relax, with comfortable seating, sports memorabilia, and a wood ceiling that adds warmth. Outdoors, covered terraces provide room for dining and taking in the bay views. The pool, geometric lawn panels, and a separate seating area around a fire pit extend the home’s gathering spaces into the landscape.
Throughout the project, practical family needs and a distinctive design vocabulary work together. The result is a waterfront home with room to gather, retreat, play, and grow shaped around the daily rhythms of family life and its expansive Tampa Bay setting
