kaleidoscope by the sea

Carlee responded to Jacqueline’s request for a light palette with interiors that echo the hues of water and sand. “I like details, but I don’t like fussiness,” Carlee says. Textured linens and natural cottons are warmed and grounded by a sea-grass rug and wooden surfaces. “I also like to establish balance in a room,” explains the designer. “Everything in the living room was rectangular, so I chose a sofa with a curved back and a round table to add softness and counter the straight lines.”

That is Carlee’s cocker spaniel, Hannah, relaxing in the armchair.
