The "shutters-only" approach in this easy, breezy living room in Hawaii not only creates an opportunity for maximum natural light, but also opens up to a completely unobstructed view of paradise!
Don’t think the built-in couch is only for modern spaces, to be topped just with clean-lined cushions. These designs can be ubercozy, as this couch in a cottage living space proves.
Light and air are the central players in this small room. The walls, wood, and fabric are white allowing the furnishings to recede into the walls so that the view of water through the windows becomes the compelling focus of the room. The open-work tables are light in both physical and visual weight, while the pale greys of the floor and rug ground the space and maintain the feel of clean simple unimpeded space. The strong lines and shapes are vertical and horizontal, punctuated by the organic shapes of the tables, rug, and outside land mass.
The quietness of this little room could move in multiple directions. I could be happy sleeping on couches like these...or they would be great in a guest room/office configuration...as long as there were these wonderful windows and pale walls...and the stark simplicity. This could form a small living area as well. Built-ins are space saving and efficient.
wish I could get rid of the sheetrock on the ceiling to raise the ceiling height and open things up. My mom said she paid to much to get that done, but in truth some man bullied his way and got paid.
white- white -white- simple- timeless- the painted distress timber ceilings- rustic yet modern- shutters and loads of light- it's also all about the view - sigh!!!
I could actually be happy sleeping on couches like these...or they would be great in a guest room/office configuration...as long as there were those wonderful windows and pale walls...and the stark simplicity.
Two concrete blocks, one on either side, a board extended between them...place twin mattress or smaller on top, top with alot of throw pillows and viola...instant sofa/chaise lounge
