The 20th annual HGTV® Dream Home, a 3,100-square-foot Caribbean-inspired getaway with spectacular water views, is located in a tropical paradise: Merritt Island, Florida. The reimagined seaside retreat is the perfect stage for Ethan Allen furnishings, many of them crafted by hand in the company’s North American workshops.

DANBURY, Conn. - For the 10th consecutive year, Ethan Allen will serve as the primary source of furniture and décor for the HGTV Dream Home, set to be revealed on a network special on New Year’s Day.

The 20th annual HGTV Dream Home, a 3,100-square-foot Caribbean-inspired getaway with spectacular water views, is located in Merritt Island, Fla. This is the first time that HGTV has opted to remodel an existing home, instead of building a new one. The home will be awarded to the winner of the HGTV Dream Home 2016 Giveaway.
The remodeling transformation was the creative work of HGTV Dream Home designer Brian Patrick Flynn, who shopped the Ethan Allen Design Center in Manhattan to select the furniture, upholstery, window treatments, and accessories that would make his vision for a sophisticated Floridian escape a reality.


Flynn chose a cool palette of blue-grays and ivory with some punches of terracotta. He filled the breezy home with an array of Ethan Allen styles, all suitable for its coastal chic vibe.

“The most enjoyable thing for me was having the ability to shop at one place to furnish the entire home,” said Flynn. “With Ethan Allen, it was all done in New York City over just two days. That really made the entire process enjoyable and easy.”

“We’re honored to be furnishing the HGTV Dream Home for the 10th year in a row,” said Ethan Allen chairman, president and CEO Farooq Kathwari. “This is a wonderful partnership for us, and the home is a beautifully designed showcase for our furniture, accessories and art.”
