Dining With A View
Thanks to a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors, all eyes are on the prize in this dreamy dining room. To add softness, homeowner Marsha Ahearn had breezy tie-top curtains made from 100-year-old French sheets found at the Brimfield antiques shows. Adding to the room's casual look, rather than a chandelier, a lightweight, but hunky lantern hangs above the generous dining table. Pillows made from vintage bark cloth fabric add feminine pattern to the mix of natural wicker chairs.

Retro Charm
Three words sum up the oh-so-cute kitchen in designer Krista Ewart's California beach cottage: scallops, scallops, and more scallops. Oh, a perfectly pink Smeg refrigerator, too!

Effortless Mix of Old and New
Designer Loi Thai (@loithai) believes in layering rooms with that just-right piece of antique furniture or collection of vintage art, but he equally embraces the practicality and accessibility of mass retailer finds. Here, in the living room of his coastal retreat, he set the scene by topping an economical jute rug with a striking blue-and-white striped dhurrie rug. For the comfortable seating arrangement, he paired a factory dolly-turned-coffee table with slipcovered seating and an indoor/outdoor wicker chair.

Nautical Influences
Believe it or not, this airy bedroom used to be a dark hole thanks to its knotty pine surround. Crisp, bright white paint from floor to ceiling instantly transformed the small space, providing a blank backdrop for homeowner Ted Kennedy Watson's (@watsonkennedy) punchy layers of sea-faring themed furnishings such as nautical flags, anchor pillows, and old lockers.

Laid-Back Furnishings
With the beach practically at the back door, this soft and pretty living room needed to be able to stand up to wet swimsuits and sandy feet. No problem thanks to an arrangement of furnishings in a mix of durable and worry-free materials: a sisal rug effortlessly handles traffic; the well-worn wood coffee table welcomes propped-up feet and coaster-free drinks; and both the vintage bamboo chair with its washable cushion covers and the deep slipcovered sofa provide swimsuit-friendly seating.

Airy Porch
Transform your porch into a cozy place to relax with summertime staples (like wicker furniture or baskets) in bright whites and natural hues. Add a colorful rug to disguise any sand guests may carry in with them.

Fresh Finishes + Vintage Charm
What this small kitchen lacks in square footage, it makes up for in charm. To freshen it up, the homeowners gave the 1950s space a bright coat of white paint, replaced the linoleum countertops with warm butcher block, and traded the upper cabinets with open shelving where they could display their collections of everyday dishes, serving pieces, and colorful vintage finds.

Whimsical Color
From the colorful vintage touches, like the oversized plastic E and red-and-blue chair, to the boldly striped rug, this whimsical kid's room screams breezy summer fun. Homeowner Vanessa Pleasants of @themarketbeautiful created her son's clever bed canopy using a trio of humble hardware store staples: a painter's drop cloth draped over a wooden dowel and hung from the ceiling with thick manila rope.

White Shiplap
White paint is great for a beach-y vibe, but how do you make an all-white room feel cozy? One word...texture! The owner of this Tennessee home reinforced the kitchen's lived-in feel with shiplap paneling. "The wood walls keep things from feeling sterile," says Mandy, who also introduced an assortment of honey-hued wooden accents to warm up the look.

Sunny Breakfast Nook
This breakfast nook has a beachy, barefoot quality—underscored by a braided rug, deliberately mismatched painted chairs, and a pair of oars leaning in one corner. A crate full of glass bottles offers a foolproof way to arrange flowers.

Natural Wood Accents
White is a go-to color for beach houses. Create visual interest in an all-white room by adding contrasting natural wood details, like this California bungalow's rustic ceiling beams, vent hood trim, and
barn-inspired X-brace island details. Woven basket pendant lights add additional interest.

Stand Up tp Sand Floors
When topped with durable polyurethane, painted wood floors are up for the challenge of sand-covered feet. Striped throw rugs provide color and softness and can be easily taken outside for a quick shakeout.
