Interior: Anchored in Light and Sea Air

This beach house was already surrounded by beauty. Three of the four walls were nothing but windows, stretching from floor to ceiling, framed in thick white beams. Outside, the hills rolled quietly toward the sea, and the sky always felt like part of the room.

The family who called it home wanted something classic—coastal, breezy, and undeniably nautical. A palette of whites and sea tones, with textures that felt worn-in and sun-bleached in the best possible way.

We started with the dining area. A white wooden table sat at the center, its edges gently weathered, as though salt and time had softened them. Beneath it, we layered rugs for warmth and texture—a thick-striped base of ocean teal and white, with a lighter tassel-trimmed rug laid at an angle on top. It gave the room that relaxed, lived-in feel that coastal homes do so well.

The chairs were white too, their seat cushions wrapped in a soft beige fabric that brought to mind warm sand under bare feet. Above the table, rattan-domed pendant lights hung in a row, adding natural texture and casting a golden light when the sun dipped low in the evening.

Against one of the windowed walls sat a dark turquoise buffet table—bold and grounding in the airy room. Above it, a shelf hung from rope and reclaimed wood, suspended from the beams themselves. We filled it with the kind of pieces that belong in a seaside home: a painted wooden anchor, coral sculptures, and carved seashells. Each one subtle, but speaking clearly of where you are, and what this place means.

A few potted plants were placed throughout, never overwhelming—just enough green to remind you that life thrives here, indoors and out. The space feels simple, open, and bright. It doesn’t compete with the view. It leans into it, welcomes it in, and lets the sea do what it does best: breathe calm into every corner.
