Adrift in Neutrals

Summery hues and beach house touches in this living room capture a fun-in-the-sun feeling indoors all year long. White furniture and driftwood-shaded walls provide the beach house ambience. Color is introduced with accent pillows, artwork, and blue-striped slipcovers. Seashells and ocean artifacts are treated as sculpture, while graphic palm fronds and bird-of-paradise leaves add another natural element in deep green.
