It's great to design somebody's primary residence, however, it's really fun to design a vacation home. A vacation hone can be designed artistically and boldly. Take risks with color, art, and furniture that you may not want to take with your first home. This vacation home that we designed a few years ago doesn't take itself too seriously.
It starts at the entrance. This lime green bungalow 5 desk pops in this grey blue room. An antique pair of doors from Paris lean in front of the window and add texture and privacy to the space. A pair of disco ball inspired mirrored lamps set the scene for this party house. A cool Trina Turk rug, a Moroccan gold poof, a gold and bronze starburst mirror, and limited edition Bitossi ceramic accessories complete the look in this luxurious yet beachy foyer.
The dining room features a long antique wooden spanish table. The slip covered chairs are perfect for dining after a day of surfing. This room has a deep navy lacquered ceiling that makes the ceiling disappear. at night it feels like an outdoor courtyard.
You can't have a beach house without coral patterned linen fabrics and a collection of bright indoor/ outdoor pillows. A group of traditional Moroccan lanterns hang in the corner.
This modern bathroom has a Moroccan inspired rug and antique indonesian mirror
When you have a beach house this cool all your friends will want to spend the night. We took this forgotten back room and turned it into a chic mini-guest room. Inspired by the beach, we drew a horizon line down the middle of the room. As a rule everything bellow the line is white, everything above the line is mink. This distracts from the narrowness of this tiny room. Prints from St. Barthes & Martinique line the back wall.
Bold stripes and dots and convex mirrors line the kids bathroom.
The master bath is a bit more serene than the rest of the house but no less intense. Its layered with white surfaces and mirrors over mirrors. Layering the mirrors not only makes this bathroom more luxurious feeling it also gives the illusion that this space is larger than it really is.
The master bedroom is a luxurious and sexy retreat. Retro foiled wallpaper from cole and son and DVF leopard bedding add a ton of color to this room. The gilded night stands are an unexpected luxurious choice for a beach house. White trophy lamps add a bit of hollywood glam to this room.
No beach house is complete without a hot pink Bertoia chair and a Missoni pillow.
The patio is washed in shades of grey. Allowing the landscape to be the star. Errez Design signature Cuban Tile wall adds a rich Old Havana texture to this layered beach house.
Hang the sandy surfboards in the dining room. Why not?
