Sky-high ceilings and wall-to-wall windows embrace the sea-to-sky view from the living room. Open the patio doors, and Mother Nature waltzes in. By extending the same floor tile from the living room through the patio, the designer blurs the boundary between indoors and out, especially with the doors flung wide. Try this in your own home: many stone and porcelain (not ceramic) tiles stand up to indoor/outdoor use, and a calming, sand-toned palette offers a cool take on island-luxe. Replicate the look by pairing neutral walls with tonal upholstery (natural linen, hemp, cotton), mid-toned wood and stone. The secret is to emphasize textures rather than colour for effortless chic.
