Sometimes all you need to do is to look outside to know how to decorate your home. This is exactly what the homeowners of this brand new Tequesta, Florida beach house did. As soon as the couple purchased this ocean-inspired home, they contacted the interior designer Jackie Armour from JMA Interior Design to transform their vacation home.
The house, designed by architect Scott Disher of Architectural Studio and built by Joseph Pease, had really good bones but it was in need of some personal touches. The designer captured the relaxed, elegant essence of Florida through its coastal interiors by adding a mix of vibrant blues and neutral elements – a classic color scheme that can work especially with stunning water views as this home exudes.
According to Luxe magazine, when it was time for the designer to design the living room, the rich tone of the wood flooring provided the ideal contrast for attention to be placed on the living room fireplace—a tour de force featuring an overmantel that the builder had studded with seashells during the home’s construction.
“I mimicked the effect of the water washing over the shore,” he says. This paved the way for Armour to infuse the room with coastal inspirations that further supported the focal point. “Instead of going with a stronger palette here, we used texture and softer colors to allow the fireplace to stand out,” Armour says of the room’s sandy hues. “The area rug is a beautiful, nubby wool-and-sisal combination, and the wool-and-linen fabric on the sofa has an almost tweed-like feel.
As a reference to the riverside location, one of the accent pillows has actual pieces of driftwood sewn on as appliques.”A rug from The Natural Carpet Company grounds the entire space. Hickory White benches in Kravet stripes is set around an Oomph coffee table. A Visual Comfort chandelier completes the room.
