Invest in large windows to capture the beauty of your surroundings, whether it's a lush landscape or serene ocean views.
Infuse Soul into Your Space:

To achieve a coastal modern style without major renovations, Michelle suggests starting with white walls as a backdrop and adding elegance with soft furnishings, rich textures, and subtle stripes. These decor hacks instantly elevate a room's ambiance, creating a homely feel that beckons you to stay.
