Coastal Urban Chic
In this project, the clients expressed their love of the ocean and how they wanted to enjoy the serenity it brings even in their inland, urban environment. Also knowing how they really like contemporary style, we came up with “Coastal Urban Chic.”
Knowing a typical beachside resort can be overwhelmed with wicker, tropical patterns, whitewashed furniture and quite frankly becoming too kitschy; we decided instead to capitalize on the client’s love of modern style. We introduced sleek contemporary furniture with crisp, clean lines and incorporated colors and materials that would create a calm reflective atmosphere. Organic bamboo flooring set the stage for the soft blues and clean whites. Custom wenge-finished cabinets and tables provide the perfect contrast and balancing element in the overall design. Adding a few fun pieces and accessories keeps a casual elegance about the space resulting in a fresh, relaxing atmosphere without putting you to sleep – you can almost hear the waves…
