The beach decorating style is a fantastic style to live with – it is very light, airy and relaxing – where you get a feel of unity with the outside environment. It is actually really easy to do, as well, so read on to find out more…

Flooring
Natural floor coverings really are your best bet when choosing a beach decorating style. White-washed, waxed or stained floorboards are ideal coupled with natural fibre matting. Choose rugs to warm up your look, and add interest and texture to your room.  If you are going for the jolly, fun, seaside look, you are free to choose brighter colours and especially stripes for your rug. view images...

Furniture
Natural materials are ideal for beach style furniture; choose rustic-style, chunky wood in a weathered finish.  Distressed leather or wood, white painted, or white washed, wood or waxed pine are all good seaside looks. For a lighter look, choose wicker and rattan styles. For upholstery choose neutral cottons and linens, or subtle navy and white stripes. view images...

Windows
A very simple look for windows is the best idea for beach decorating styles. Choose wooden shutters, slatted blinds or simple tab top panel curtains in a neutral cream or white. For a more romantic, light and airy feel, choose floaty white voiles or transparent fabrics at the windows. view images...

It's easy to see why the owners fell for this property; full of charm, built on fertile ground and situated close to both, water and forest. The house in Taarbaek, north of Copenhagen has in recent years undergone extensive renovation.

Floors were torn up, ceilings down, and windows were replaced. Where original materials could not be salvaged they were replaced either by recycled materials or in the case of the kitchen, built to requirements by a local carpenter... view feature Pin It Now!

We tend to keep them locked up in the bathroom and kitchen; maybe we should let them out and set them free into the rest of the house. Our friends in the rest of the world are happy to use them anywhere. Now that we have under-floor heating our old view of tiles being too cold just doesn’t wash, so come on, let’s start using these very versatile products. They come in so many styles and are even more eco-friendly than our old favourites like wood and carpet... Search tiles Pin It Now!

Highland Hospitality

A Parisian interior designer was set the task of transforming an old tower like building on the Isle of Jura in to a comfortable and welcoming house. Taking the idea that the place had been lived in by an elderly, eccentric but well travelled aunt; the designer went about collecting the things that this fictitious aunt might have had, and arranging them against a back drop of deep, roll top baths, soft comfortable beds and a long, refectory style dining table... click here Pin It Now!
