Yes, the point of a waterfront home is the view and the beach. You don’t buy a home like that with the intent of staying indoors. But that doesn’t mean the interior can’t be the perfect complement to the great outdoors. This Montauk, NY beachfront home is bright, breezy, carefree and pretty much whispers “summer” all year round.

Natural light, and lots of it, might be the number one requirement of beachfront style. Case in point, this living room. I mean, have you ever entered a beach house that was dim or cramped?
It’s easy to see that white is key to the coastal palette. Sure, it’s easy to get caught up in loud colors and fish-themed decor, but wouldn’t you really prefer a soothing, spalike feel with neutrals and hints of soothing color?
Like the beach itself, coastal rooms should feel breezy, so don’t weigh them down with clutter and excess.
At the beach, it’s easy to get caught up in loud colors and fish-themed decor, but it’s so unnecessary. Add shades of brown and a few well-placed outdoorsy tchotchkes, and you have a room that feels like a real beach getaway.
Just because you want to tone down your beach theme doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be reminded of where you are. These dresser top accessories have a foot in coastal design, but again, fishy decor they are not.
Driftwood is another great beachy accessory because of its weather-worn look.
Of course we’re going to end this VHT Studios featured tour with a few picture perfect exterior shots – it is why we came here, after all.
Outdoor shower! Because you’ve always wanted one.
Finally, the Pièce de résistance, the beach.
