MODERN TEXTURES
The home’s previous design was Palm Springs-inspired MidcenturyModern, so to fit the new homeowner’s aesthetic, Mindy did a complete overhaul of both the interior and exterior décor. “We started with lots of white millwork, ceilings and cabinetry, and juxtaposed our crisp and clean palette with tailored linen, leather and wood accents,” she says. They added tongue-and-groove wall paneling to every room in the house and kept it modern and fresh with a bright white paint color and a more minimal V-groove joint line. On the exterior, custom-stained cedar shingles, white brick and metal accents capture the essence of coastal living.
Inside, Mindy created an understated beach escape for her client with the perfect pairing of crisp whites and warm textures. “The best part of a beach house is the casual aesthetic, and we like to play up that feel with lots of natural textures, including woven Roman shades for all of the window coverings,” says Mindy. “They complement the beachy vibe without sacrificing style and functionality.”
