Just in case the spectacular view, the sound of the lapping waves and the dulcet tones of children playing on the sand aren’t enough to transport you into instant holiday mode, we thought we’d add a little botanic va-va-voom to both the interiors and the landscape, in the form of some lush, oversized palms and vibrant bougainvillea. Now, you’d be justified in thinking that indoor plants can come off a little…let’s say, ‘Nanna’, but the right plant in the right pot and in the right proportions, can add a huge amount of contemporary Je ne sais quoi! And of course, as any visitor to our Debra Cronin Design website will know, conventional treatments of furniture, decorative pieces, or indeed paint colours are just not our style. So in true DCD spirit, we’ll break with the anticipated white backdrop (so typical in the Mediterranean) and layer our bougainvillea over a contemporary and cool grey exterior.
I can feel a pina colada coming on!
