Life's a Beach - Sitting Room

When choosing furnishings for this room, Annabel took care not to overpower its most striking feature; the floor-to-ceiling windows and their beautiful backdrop. The whitewashed wooden walls and floor create a light, airy aesthetic and a blank canvas for the windows to take centre stage. Soft shades of blue and green are used as accent colours, complementing the ocean views and tying the space together, whilst natural decorations, such as the artichoke candle holders and coral-inspired pot, serve as playful finishing touches.

Dining Room

The relaxed theme of the home is continued in the dining room, where the balance of soft colours creates a down-to-earth feel. It’s the subtleties of each piece that creates the cohesive look here; the wooden frames of the prints perfectly match the chair legs and the pales shades of green were chosen carefully so as not to overwhelm the space. Annabel finished off the room with fig leaf tableware, a cantaloupe-inspired jug and coral and seaweed prints, which add a playful element.

Master Bedroom

Matching the rest of the house, the master bedroom features a unique pastel colour palette and draws on the outdoors; here Annabel used delicate shades of pink and purple as her base, then added floral pictures and a giant faux orchid. The curved silhouettes of the lamp, armchair and dressing table in combination with subtly printed textiles create a look that is delightfully feminine.
