Colorful Beach House Project
I’m currently working on the interiors of a charming beach house for a young family who has a love of color. Here is what I’ve pulled together so far…
I think the use of color in this seaside home is wonderful (from New York Spaces magazine). Since my clients are urban New Yorkers, I think the home should be a relaxed and beachey, but also a little funky and unexpected.
In Feng Shui, the shape of the octagon represents balance. I’d love to use this coffee table from Room Service in the living room…
along with a fabulous tufted sofa in burnt orange velvet. (If you are familiar with Feng Shui and want to bring “Earth” element remedy into your home — which is grounding and comforting — this is a perfect color.)
In the dining room (or maybe the screened porch) I’m starting with this fixture from Curry & Co. (The turquoise blue beading represents the “Water” element in Feng Shui – good for abundance.)
It would be great over a simple zinc table like this from Home Decorators. (Zinc is a good “Metal” remedy and protects health.)
This festive bamboo dinnerware from Viva Terra fits beautifully (and in Feng Shui, its a nice “Wood” remedy – health):
For the kids playroom, I am considering the classic Mah Jong modular seating from Roche Bobois – comfy and cool.
My clients recently had a baby girl, and based on her birthday, her Feng Shui element is “Fire”. Therefore, the best colors for her room are fire-tones of red, purple or hot pink. This bed is perfect. (Yes its big, but she can grow into it)!
For the kids rooms, the eco friendly Indi B kids rugs are so sweet and totally safe:
I would like to turn a small space at the top of the stairs into a reading nook something like this (by Ann Wolf):

If you have any “bright” ideas to offer, feel free to share!

I am looking for a comforter similar to the floral one above. I bought mine at Dollar General Store and it is made for PEM America is the only information I have. The closest replacement I have found is the one pictured above with the Pink Headboard. Any information on where to buy this one would be appreciated.
Hi Lori, I’m not sure where that comforter is from, sorry. Let me know if you have other questions that I might be able to help you with.
