There are a few things I really love about this room. The first is that it’s a beautiful room that feels ‘beachy’ but in an Australian way, not like so many of the beach houses we all admire from overseas, and from the U.S. in particular!
The second is how well the limited colour scheme works here – it’s really just timber, white and that glorious shade of teal green, which is used in the upholstery and picked up in the painting and accessories. It really shows how successful a room can be if you stick to the colours from an artwork and aren’t tempted to throw in a lot of competing colour or pattern.
Finally, I love the pairing of casual, ‘beach house’ pieces (wicker chairs, rustic console, barnacle clump) with a luxurious velvet for the furnishings. That sheen and texture alone, for me, really makes this room.
On that note, I’ll leave you for the weekend, have a great one! xx
