This Space, This Way:

This summer house sits on the water, so the homeowner wanted it to have a nautical feel. Louise Hurlbutt used a classic navy and white color palette with pops of coral for some fun.

Signature Style:
 
“When a home has views of the water, I like to pull in the colors of the sky and ocean so the interior does not conflict with the exterior surroundings. With this open plan, from kitchen to dining room to living room, it is so important that there be great flow in the design and color.”

Trick of the Trade:

“Architectural features are important. This room’s coffered ceilings with dropped beams, stonework, and an old mantelpiece add to the good bones of the house.”
