Malibu Modern Beach House by Caileen Designs

Completed by Caileen Designs. This modern beach house is the perfect place to unwind and refresh, and the owners of this beach needed a refresh for their clients.

Project's description: Using a photography studio as inspiration, we choose a neutral palette of black and white to give the typical beach house an edgy look. The biggest change in the Master Bedroom was a dramatic accent wall in black, which provides a stark contrast to the white wood interior. The wood midcentury modern bed and nightstands were updated with new bedding reflecting the black and white palette. A new flatweave rug and accessories, and a unique sconce round out the space.

We incorporated existing midcentury modern pieces with some new finds and accessories to turn this beach cottage into a sophisticated destination. The Twin Bedroom was given a fresh coat of bright white paint to help liven up the back bedroom. A custom wall-length upholstered headboard is a great use of space in a small room. A white oak nighstand and black lamp continue the high contrast theme, as does a black and white Nordic print rug.
