Interior Designer on Longboat Key, Florida
A beautiful view shouldn't have to do all the work.
Soulspace Collective provides residential interior design on Longboat Key for renovations, new construction, waterfront homes, condominiums, and thoughtfully reimagined residences along Florida's Gulf Coast.
Our approach brings together interior design, space planning, material selection, furnishings, and firsthand residential construction experience to create homes that feel considered from every angle — responding to the architecture, the surroundings, and the way you actually live within them.
On Longboat Key, the setting naturally becomes part of the interior. Light moves differently near the water. Views influence sightlines and furniture placement. Indoor and outdoor spaces are constantly in conversation. Materials need to feel beautiful while making sense for the realities of coastal living.
We consider all of it without allowing the location to dictate a formula.
Because a remarkable setting deserves an interior with just as much point of view.
Designed from the inside out — and the outside in.
Designing a home near the water creates an unusual relationship between interior and exterior. A room doesn't end at the glass. The view, landscape, natural light, architecture, and horizon all become part of the composition.
That changes the questions we ask.
Where should your eye land when you enter the room? How does the furniture orient toward both conversation and the view? Where does afternoon light become too intense? Which materials can bring warmth to an expansive space? How do we create intimacy without competing with everything happening outside?
Whether we're reimagining an existing Longboat Key residence, furnishing a waterfront condominium, or designing the interiors of a new construction home, we consider those relationships from the beginning.
The goal isn't to compete with the setting.
It's to create an interior worthy of it.
Refined doesn't have to mean restrained.

How We Work
RenovationsWe reimagine existing Sarasota homes through thoughtful space planning, interior architectural decisions, cabinetry, lighting, materials, and furnishings — considering what deserves to remain, what needs to evolve, and how the home can better support the way you live now.
New ConstructionInterior design is most powerful when it begins early. We work alongside the larger project team to consider layouts, cabinetry, lighting, materials, finishes, furnishings, and the small decisions that determine how a newly built home will ultimately function and feel.
Furnishing + RefinementFor Longboat Key homes and condominiums that don't require significant construction, we create cohesion through furniture planning, lighting, textiles, art, materials, and styling — giving an existing interior a stronger sense of identity without changing everything simply for the sake of change.
Let the view be part of the design — not the design itself.
A waterfront home already has something extraordinary happening outside its walls. That doesn't mean everything inside needs to disappear.
We believe the most compelling interiors create a relationship with their surroundings rather than becoming subordinate to them. A room can be quiet without being anonymous. Refined without becoming sterile. Relaxed without becoming predictable.
Sometimes that relationship is created through restraint — allowing a sightline or architectural element enough space to breathe. Other times, it's created through contrast: texture, art, material, color, or an unexpected piece that gives the interior its own presence.
We pay attention to those small margins too — the orientation of a chair that changes what you see when you sit down, the lighting placement reflected in glass at night, the transition between interior flooring and the terrace, or the proportion of furniture against an expansive wall of windows.
The view may be what you notice first. The interior should be what makes you want to stay.
Good design is alignment.
A beautiful home can still feel disconnected.
That's why we don't begin a Longboat Key interior with a prescribed aesthetic or an idea of what a waterfront home is supposed to look like. We begin by understanding the relationship between the property, its architecture, and the people living within it.
How do you spend your mornings here? Where do you naturally gravitate at the end of the day? Is this your everyday home or the place everyone comes together? Which rooms need intimacy? Which should feel expansive? What do you want to notice when you walk through the door?
Those answers inform the physical decisions — layout, proportion, cabinetry, lighting, materials, furniture, art, color, texture, and the quieter details that determine how the home is experienced.
To us, good design is alignment between beauty and function, architecture and interiors, setting and personality, and the home you're creating and the life that will unfold within it.
The setting can influence the story.
It doesn't have to write it.

Rather than applying a predetermined coastal aesthetic, we create interiors that feel connected to Longboat Key while remaining distinctly personal to the people who call them home.
Place informs the design. It doesn't define it.
