Who wouldn’t want a beach house in Malibu, the sun, sea and sand makes for a perfect recipe!
However beach homes in the ‘bu have come a long way since when they first started to become popular! They are no longer full of coral mirrors, sea shell frames and fish-shaped place mats.
Whether it’s a 10-room contemporary, a clapboard cottage or an ocean view apartment, today’s chic coastal interiors exude elegance, comfort and low-maintenance. People want modern, clean looks and finishes as well as the feeling of space. Which is particularly important with oceanfront real estate always at a premium homes tend to be a little smaller than those inland.
Also making use of outdoor space is a must, designers are trying to create a flow in a property where the inside and outside space join together seemlessly. After all, who wouldn’t want to have a late night drink on the deck overlooking the ocean?
The choice of interior and exterior materials is also important keeping in mind the damp ocean air and exposure to the elements. So long lasting, hard wearing materials are best.
Beach living is all about rest and relaxation. These days the trend is also about “beach living” in an environmentally friendly way – conserving water and lowering your carbon footprint.
