Modern Coastal Interior Design Home

Throughout this beautiful home in the beach that was actually built in 2015 so it's quite an old one but we help them develop this home from being potential investment property to a home that they really wanted to live in and invest in the homeowners. are and they are actually kind of tough for clients since is a contractor in home developments. we wanted to make sure that we were really adding value considering they were well versed in renovating homes. when we first saw the place I've had a lot of character which is great because we knew that the homeowners really loved that it was similar in terms of layout. however it was a lot more closed off so they did open up some of the walls and create larger entryways they did maintain simple transition between the rooms but there was still a bit of a divide dana is actually grown up and lived in the beaches her whole life. so she is well akin to what the design aesthetic for the beaches is and she did have affinity for that however. she is a little bit more of a modern woman and did want to have a little bit more of an urban edge in modernity applied to the coastal aesthetic that's typically seen here in the beach the entrance of the home was a lot smaller than you see. now it had a small little vestibule which did create a bit of a smaller passageway to their upstairs

so they removed that to open up the space and they then added a topper to their rad to kind of create more of a console. so it's a landing space more so than a transitional space they did have a fireplace which was their original brick color and no storage on either side of it. so we added some shelving units there which Galen was able to do one of the most important points to the clients was to bring some of  the textiles that they had especially from into the space. we really wanted to ensure that we were honoring that without it looking too cluttered because. they definitely don't want to live in a cluttered space. so it was really great to use the textiles that they had some of the wooden decor elements that they brought back from their travels and really showcased them in a more elegant. way they were really invested in rights and neutrals but they weren't afraid of adding color. so we knew wanted to do we're Greeks we felt that was in the vein of the beaches as well as the coastal feel. it's actually a great but it does obviously have a lot of green and blue undertones to it there are family of four they to have a movie night. they wanted it to be functional for that purpose not have to go to the basement I knew that they really the sectional and they were just not wanting to commit to. it didn't feel  it was elevated enough but we were all for it we wanted them to be happy with the space. we wanted to Muse it and with every other piece that we added we wanted to make sure that it would enhance the sectional versus making it seem frumpy I think that there is a bit of a myth around sectionals do. we need raising the network the garbage truck the first entryway that they opened up really sparked the idea to then open up the secondary entryway to the room and that was a high impact decision that they made. the dining room was a dining room however.

It didn't have the bar stools that are on their island and that was a real functional space for them having kids in the morning have their breakfast up there. so that was a really great addition the way that we concealed the radiator and added bar fridge as well as some wine storage on either side really turned that once useless piece of space into a real functional almost bar area. we were considering you know maintaining what that was in the home originally which was a white marble however we felt this was an opportunity to really have a bit more of an edge and decided to go. with a black honed marble so the modular kitchen was already there and it was a great jumping-off point for the other colors of the home that. we chose we really the fact that they chose a shaker style. which is typically more traditional but add a little bit more modern elements with the brass poles as well as a fun detailed backsplash the nook was created yet it didn't have the additional layers to make it comfortable. we added some throw pillows a great shoot toughing and window textiles and we also added an art TV which was typically not a choice installing a television into an eating area however. it was super functional for their children in an area that they can use more often than not the master bedroom was an area focus for us they really focused on the main living areas of the home.

which a lot of homeowners and families do so it was really nice to spend time and see what really worked for them and what they wanted to create is their little slice of peace in their home. so we kept him really neutral but we did play with textures upstairs as well we created a really nice serene space with an upholstered headboard again they are well-traveled and they appreciate different textiles. so we've added a little bit more of a beachy vibe without going to themed we wanted to add a little vintage and a little bit more modernity. so we have these great task lamps on either side of the bed and then we have this great vintage chest the client is super savvy and found an amazing chest on Marketplace on and we were. so excited because it was really going to be the piece that was going to complete the space their little girl Rowan is a beautiful little girl. we wanted to add a little bit of playfulness without going too young because she did want to grow with the space we found a fabric that was great for the window treatments as well as her vanity seat that was colorful playful without reading too juvenile and this allowed the space to really be adorable without being too cutesy a fun point actually in Rowan's room is that the vanity was from the original homeowner. so we ended up painting it out white to bring it up a notch and then out of the really pretty textiles on top at the beginning to be honest as if it nervous working. with them they were so well-versed and renovating homes already I was hoping that we would bring enough value that they would be happy with the end result however they ended up being such great minds because they were super quick to decide they were really quick on making decisions and they also trusted which is such a big part of a client relationship. so in the end super thankful and they turned out to be wonderful.
