Interior Designer: MOTIV Interiors LLC Photography: Laura Rockett Photography Design Challenge: MOTIV Interiors created this colorful yet relaxing retreat - a space for guests to unwind and recharge after a long day of exploring Nashville! Luxury, comfort, and functionality merge in this AirBNB project we completed in just 2 short weeks. Navigating a tight budget, we supplemented the homeowner’s existing personal items and local artwork with great finds from facebook marketplace, vintage + antique shops, and the local salvage yard. The result: a collected look that’s true to Nashville and vacation ready!

CA gals ?—the 2025 Beachy Living Room trend is everywhere here, and it’s not about plastic seashells. It’s all about “Cali-exclusive” touches that bring the ocean breeze home: a weathered wood sofa from Santa Monica vintage shops, woven rattan chairs from Venice Beach, walls in soft sand tones (think Malibu sunset!), and a potted sea buckthorn (local wildling—drought-proof + fragrant!). Keep it “lazy chic”: Wicker baskets hide remotes, stoneware vases hold dried seaweed (100x easier than fresh flowers!), and warm floor lamps at night cast light like a beach stroll. CA sunshine’s already sweet—add a hint of “ocean vibe” to your living room, and you’ll feel like you’re on vacay before you even leave. Pro tip: Skip the over-the-top decor. The secret? “Effortless nature”—upcycled finds + local touches beat new stuff any day. ?
