A House on the Sea

Rare woods and a bubbly drop chandelier play off each other to create an inviting room to eat or work in. This room uses soft white walls and a light neutral upholstery as a backdrop for a great view. Potted plants and green jars enliven the room while providing contrast with geometric pieces on the wall.

With an open deck outside and huge full-wall windows to work with as well, the room has a unique open and creative feeling.

What's better than great interior lighting? Full daylight inside simply can't be beat. This room achieves incredible lighting for the art collection and large portrait with a glass ceiling. Warm pinks and soft white neutral tones pair with the glass walls next to the door to create an open, inviting look at a house collection of books and art.

The glass roof lifts up at a strong angle, providing a more interesting source of daylight than a flatter skylight system would. Bubbles of glass in the airy chandelier below the roof add a touch of whimsy.

Huge windows and a carefully planned color scheme with statement furniture anchor the look in this room. The homeowners made a strategic choice to keep the window view as a main part of the attraction in this beautiful room.

Large-scale furniture in tan colors and a few important geometric accents frame the sitting area while making it easy to see the stunning oceanside panorama through more than five full-wall windows. A soft white wall color, a tan carpet, and a tan rug with a dot or two of red in it provide a perfect setup for relaxation in combination with a few darker pieces.

The dark wood coffee table featuring curved legs brings a warm focal point to the center of the room and plays off the curated selection of darker side furniture and lamps as well. These colors bring out the greenery and blue ocean outside beautifully.

Outdoor seating and full-wall windows in the building behind the deck creates a seamless indoor-outdoor experience in this seaside home. Many homes try to put a chair or two on the back deck. This one takes the outdoor entertaining concept further with huge success.

A combination of long sunbathing chairs, oversize benches with pillows and cushions, and full-size outdoor couches in durable materials offer tons of seating. This deck is a spacious place to have outdoor dinner or expand the hosting area for a large party.

The potted plants in this scene pair wonderfully with the seaside theme and the view from the deck. Tall planters with a variety of grasses and succulents offer added greenery to relax with.
