Houzz Tour: Ocean-Inspired Home for Two in Newport Beach

The desk opposite the bed serves as a place for the couple to do work and catch up on email when they're not hosting guests. Bennett chose accessories in the same style and color palette as the rest of the room, focusing on a simple but fun style. "I'd describe this home as 'sophisticated comfort'," says Bennett. "It's definitely my style. Plus, I got to go crazy with accessories, which are my absolute favorite parts about this home."

A dainty antique bench that Bennett found sits at the foot of the bed — a perfect place to put shoes on or just sit and read. Bennett used a combination of family heirlooms, antiques, consignment pieces, and new products to give this home an elegant, but lived-in look.

Bennett wanted the home to feel special for the newlyweds, so she incorporated personal touches that truly make the house feel like home. Sweet little vignettes of old photos, scented candles, and treasures from the beach litter shelves and side tables throughout the space.

This three-tiered gold antique étagère in the master bedroom is one of Bennett's favorite pieces she found for this house.

Bennett was careful to choose pieces that would blend with the antiques. And when it came to accessories, she stuck to a similar theme — a coastal feel with shells and candles — for unity.
