The kitchen includes everything a busy family of six requires, including a pantry. As interior designer on the home, Kira Gray has continued the relaxed feel right through the rest of the interior. As part of this, she designed a feature stained-oak headboard in the master bedroom that doubles as a generous his-and-hers walk-through dressing room on the bathroom side. The wardrobe/bedhead also provides an easy separation between bedroom and ensuite and gained valuable usable space, a fact reflected by it winning Master Bedroom Suite – Spatial Innovation at the 2019 NKBA awards. “Pale, sandy wall tones feature throughout, along with casual rattan or wood furniture, to further the home’s island resort aesthetic. “The custom wood bathroom vanity and powder room table with their slatted towel racks are part of this. All wood elements connect with the solid wood floors that run throughout the airy home.” Relaxed and welcoming, with natural wall tones and informal furniture in almost every room, this home’s carefully considered interiors really do transport you to a sunnier clime.
