A COASTAL HIDEOUT

Tranquil hues and clean lines create an idyllic escape in this spacious guest bedroom designed by Michelle Strength of Inhabit Interiors. Grounded by natural furnishings, Strength incorporated a mix of refined pieces and personalized accessories to give the perfect amount of balanced sophistication. A clean, low headboard is flanked by organic sculptural bedside tables and a chartreuse green velvet bench adding a touch of luxury and depth. Custom made draperies outlined with Samual & Sons Positano fringe and a distinctive rope console table give a nod to 1950’s French designers Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet. Vintage leather-bound copies of Jane Austen novels sit atop an antique benched oak Louis XV chest and a collection of framed, paper collage art crafted by Strength herself depicts 8 separate islands to complete the room. The soothing color palette and subtle textures reflect a modern and relaxed coastal contrast.
