modern coastal retreat
This full home renovation captures a bright, airy, and tranquil coastal aesthetic through a refined, modern lens. The design layers organic, beach-inspired textures with elevated finishes, creating a home that feels warm, relaxed, and intentional. A light foundation of white oak and luminous quartz with expressive veining is balanced by aged brass and black earthenware accents, adding depth and contrast throughout. Tile selections—including ceramic, porcelain, marble, zellige, and slate—bring subtle variation in texture and scale while maintaining a cohesive, timeless palette. The result is a serene modern retreat that feels fresh, grounded, and effortlessly coastal.
