California casual, but make it Lake House. 🌊 You like?? 😀
Mel here... I'm obsessed with the color pops. 🤩 This is for our in-progress lake house project in Lee's Summit. Our awesome clients have a fantastic lake house, but it's stuck in the 80's. Incredible views but the interior feels yellow, beat up, and closed in. They want their space to feel bright, cozy and fun.
SO - operation remodel is a GO and we've been sharing behind the scenes in our Stories. Thought you'd like to see the aesthetic: Colorful California Casual Lakehouse. It's a relaxed coastal style, but with more personality than plain white-and-beige.
Think warm soft whites, natural wood tones, cozy wool + velvet textures, collected art, deep ocean blues, sea-glass greens, a little black for contrast, and just enough playful color to keep it from feeling too “theme-y.”
This is the kind of layered, livable design we love creating for families in Lee’s Summit and the Kansas City area. It's collected, personal, and still comfortable for real life.
What do you think? Should we stick to the neutrals or keep doing pops of color?
