House Tour: A Contemporary Beach Look

The spacious, contemporary interiors in this classically designed beach house offer a nice juxtaposition of styles. You can mix the two and still create a harmonious atmosphere. This Martha’s Vineyard home was featured in Coastal Living and I thought I’d share it with you today.

“The interiors defer to the spectacular scenery with low-profile furniture, muted fabric colors, minimal window treatments, and a neutral hue for the walls, trim, and ceiling.

Ample windows embrace a breathtaking panorama of Vineyard Sound, the Elizabeth Islands, and Cape Cod.

In the sun-soaked master bedroom, a webbed chair and bench recall outdoor furniture, uniting the room with its surroundings.

The adjustable sconce for nighttime reading and a shelf that fits neatly over the headboard eliminate the need for a bedside table.

Soft blue and gray glass tiles continue the house’s subtle color palette in the master bath, echoing the ocean hues that can be seen from every window.

The house’s open floor plan allows for views from every living space, including the dining area, which features a classic old farm table that was brought over from London.

Visitors can soak up sun in modern chaise lounges that outfit the side deck, or descend the long wooden stairway to the sandy shores of Vineyard Sound.”

I need a Chum Bucket vacation!
