Finally remember that your holiday home
should be a place of rest and comfort
table, craft activities and puzzle building
to keep the younger ones busy and who is
to say that you can’t have a tv and music
system in the garage.
The kitchen layout should be simple and
storage carefully considered, to make
shared cooking a hassle free and social
experience. An Island unit that provides
space for the whole family and guests to
take part in the preparation of meals is
ideal.
Furniture should be casual and inviting.
Often unused furniture from your primary
residence or hand-me-downs from the
extended family end up in the holiday
house. It often leads to a rich interior,
with a layered look that reflects the history
of the family. If the inherited furniture is
not all that beautiful, simply paint the
different pieces in the same colour to give
a feeling of cohesiveness to the interior
scheme and yes, you are allowed to say
no, if an offered piece of furniture just
simply won’t work in your space.
Finally remember that your holiday
home should be a place of rest and
comfort. Nothing should be so precious
that you can’t put your feet up or leave a
book or a board game open on it, while
you are taking a walk on the beach or a
swim in the nearby river. NH
