The 6 things we did to create a beach-like, homey place.

One of our favourite projects that we worked on was a home on Kite Beach. Our Client wanted a beach-like, homey place with a soft colour palette - think light linen curtains, lovely raffia textures, and woven decor.

In the design process, it was important for us to balance the “shabby” with the chic to make sure the end result was both beachy and elegant.

Here are our 6 project insights to create a beach-like, homey place you and your family will love.

  • Soft, sandy tones.
    Instead of bright colours or greys, we used a palette of sand tones and soft pastels, with touches of deeper tones in caramel leathers and raw woods to add richness.

  • Play with contrasts.

    We combined rough wood with luxurious marble, paired linen with bouclé, and incorporated a smoked ribbed glass statement vase with eucalyptus to create moments of luxury juxtaposed with natural elements.

  • Make a statement.

    Our client had a stunning artwork with vibrant tones that became the focal point of the dining area, anchoring the space and guiding the arrangement of the open living area.

  • Curate special pieces.

    Colourful, playful tableware complement the neutral furnishings and reflect the property's beach location.

  • Channel beach vibes.

    A meticulously crafted beaded wood chandelier and clay shell chandelier enhance the coastal ambiance.

  • Embrace leather accents.

    Touches of luxurious leather in caramel and sand tones bring warmth and sophistication to the space.
