House Tours: A Cottage by the Beach

Casual beach-chic furnishings, seashells, and a fresh blue palette give this home a summer feel all year long.

living room - overall

 

Cozy Living Room

To set the tone in this beach-themed house, white-painted tongue-and-groove paneling gives the lofty space in the living room a crisp, cottage feeling. A wood mantel with shell carvings frames a smooth white marble fireplace. Casual white slipcovers dress comfortable sofas and chairs and add to the cottage vibe.

Budget Saver: Look for ready-made slipcovers to avoid the cost of custom ones.
