Beach House Symmetry
Staying in a beach house should be all about nature and relaxation, and nothing’s more calming and stabilizing than a room
designed with symmetry in mind. On the other hand, keeping a constant flow of visitors in mind, you’ll want to complement
unique finds with easy-to-maintain materials that will endure the test of sand and surf. Read on to get the look of this coastal-chic
room for less.
A pair of X-based benches elegantly punctuates this pair of twin beds and provides just the right amount of coverage for a
beach house (think hats, suits, and flip-flops).
Handmade woven rugs that can go inside or out -- and be flipped over for new life, however briefly -- are the perfect addition
to any high-traffic room in need of a style jolt.
