  • Tips on Interior Design For A Beach House

    July 27, 2014 c

    While we have no plans to move…yet…we have been lucky enough to have worked on the interior design of a few beach houses over the years (See one of our projects in Hawaii below).

    Many interior design considerations are standard  – location, usability (e.g. full time? vacations? weekends?) and the importance of practicality versus style.  But these basic concepts, coupled with the sand and the sea can give simple inspiration for some fabulous interiors.

    We’ve compiled a few pointers here to help you design your dream seaside home:

    – Give the views maximum consideration – this should be the basis of everything you do in the beach house.
    – Keep design functional with natural materials and using durable fabrics.
    – Embrace texture and vibrant colour. Patterns such as stripes and zig zags are great, especially with soft furnishings and flooring.
    – Don’t forget outdoor furniture.  We work with a number of vendors, providing a good variety for all price points.
    – Finally, the addition of a log fire can also make your summer beach house a very cosy hideaway in winter as well.
