On the aesthetics side , the homeowners wanted a coastal look to match the home ’ s location . Yet while fundamentals like white shiplap walls and woven fiber textures certainly make an appearance , they were happy to embrace Blakely ’ s vibrant twist on the tried-and-true theme .
“ Coastal homes are really our sweet spot ,” Photopoulos says , “ and I think many of our clients are drawn to us because we use color in a fun yet tasteful way .”
Aiming for a more approachable atmosphere , the Blakely team infused the sunroom with soft blues while also mixing in pops of yellow for added interest . However , it ’ s the navy shade , as seen in the stripes of the sofa , that anchors the home . Harkening back to those coastal roots , it makes an appearance in each of the rooms Blakely touched . One guest bedroom features a prominent blue wallpaper design and headboard , again accented by warm yellows , while another takes the opposite approach . The “ green room ” sneaks navy into the bedding and fixtures , but lets the more vibrant pigment take center stage with a grasscloth wallpaper .
“ I liken homes to families , where the members all resemble each other , but each individual has its own personality ,” says Photopoulos . “ That ’ s how we approach a project with multiple spaces — the goal is to switch them up but create cohesion through one consistent color throughout the home .”
In the end , Blakely Interior Design bestowed this vacation home with a stunning , unified interior which echoes its outer beauty . The updates have been a hit not just with the owners , but also with visitors who had nothing but rave reviews upon utilizing the revitalized guest rooms . ◆
