I just had to share these images with you all.
A friend sent me these beautiful photos of a house for sale in Palm Beach. It's your typical coastal home on the outside...but on the inside you are greeted with a contemporary feel that is spacious and inviting.
I just love the exposed beams that feature throughout the house. Having the walls painted a fresh white puts more emphasis on the timber, allowing your eye to travel up the walls and to the peak of the ceiling, maximising the size of the space.
I also love how the owners chose not to take the walls all the way to the ceiling. This allows more natural light to pour through the room, giving the hard structure a sense of warmth.
If you want to create this look in your home the important thing to remember is keep it simple! Let the structure of the space speak out. Start with a crisp white on the walls and then choose some fantastic key timber pieces to anchor the rooms. When selecting your furniture, try finding something that is low lying with minimal detail.
Your rooms should have accents of whicker and ocean blue accessories that are organic in shape and matter. With any fixtures make them stainless steel, and if you can, try white shutters on your windows.
Textiles in the space should be textured and kept in neutral colours with one hero hue carried throughout the house. Blues and turquoise greens always look good in a coastal interior. You can also used a dirty yellow to brighten the space like they did in the living room image above.
My most favourite room of all in this house is the kitchen. What a heart of the home hey?! The combination of timber and stainless steel is just heaven and I love how the cupboards have been painted in a gorgeous charcoal - it really brings out the accents of colour found in the utensils and kitchenware lining the wall.
If only, hey Monica?!
