Pillows add pops of color in the media room, furnished with a Lazar Industries sofa and an ottoman by Precedent.
Tapped to conjure an unexpected, not-your-typical-beach-house vibe in a client’s new custom home in Bethany Beach, Delaware, designers at Interior Concepts, Inc., got to work crafting hip, modern spaces with subtle nods to the coastal environment. “Due to the open floor plan and specific architecture, creative space-planning with unique furniture shapes was necessary,” relates principal Arlene Critzos. “We were challenged by small room sizes in our efforts to maximize multiple functions for both adults and teens.”
Critzos and her team took a playful approach when sourcing unique furniture pieces, from a triangular dining table that optimizes traffic flow (previous page, bottom) to movable nesting tables in the family room. Colorful textiles and art make a bold statement against a clean, neutral backdrop.
