{Design crush} tropical chic





I (re)found this home when rummaging through my inspiration folder the other day and fell in love all over again. This light and airy beach house warms my Floridan heart on these cold and rainy Dublin days.

The bright, bold palette of turquoise, green and yellow exudes a happy tropical vibe and when paired with simple clean white furniture and accessories, the look is fresh and modern. I love how the original old growth fir floors keep the space relaxed and grounded, while the painted white ceilings adds a cheerful, light fueled airiness. Color, texture and flea market finds, combined with a few high end pieces creates a delightfully preppy bohemian beach house chic!
