IDEAS TO HELP YOU CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF AN AIRY GETAWAY AT HOME

1. AWASH WITH WHITE

Bring vacation vibes into your home by transforming it into a sweet retreat. Start with a white paint job for an instant refresh that instills a sense of space and peace. For an even more dramatic result, don't stop at the walls - extend your paint project to floorboards and ceiling beams. Then add strategic touches of charcoal paint to doors and window frames to draw the eye towards sunny and leafy views.

2. GO WITH THE FLOW

Enhance entertaining areas by ensuring they are connected and unobstructed. It's not just physical space and flow. Visual aesthetics are also key. Here, low stools let the eye skim over the tabletop and to the alfresco dining area, deck and garden. The mood you want to create is open, laidback hospitality - welcome to our place, grab any seat you fancy! For similar, Arden Walnut Breakfast Bar Stool, $199.95.
