If you gathered up the most beautiful beach homes in Emerald Isle, would you find a common thread? I think so. But what could they all have in common? Good question! I think that all the best beach homes are inspired by the coastal ambiance that surrounds them. The decor and design elements within the home reflect back to the natural beauty that lies outside the home. From the natural elements of sun, sand, sky and sea to the quintessential characteristics of Emerald Isle itself, a beautiful coastal home embodies the essence of everything that surrounds it—and does it well. Here are some of my favorite features that I like and see in the most beautiful beach houses in Emerald Isle. I hope these themes will help you when you are thinking about purchasing or redecorating a beach house of your own.
Nod to Nautical The nautical element is an Emerald Isle coastal classic. Too much can be too distracting, but a little can be the perfect accent to a beautiful beach home. I love seeing nautical accents on throw pillows and rugs. I also like seeing pictures illustrating local scenes like Bogue Inlet Pier and the Light at Cape Lookout.
All the White Places Coastal whites bring a clean, bright and modern feel to any Emerald Isle beach home. Too much white can feel stark, but using the right amount of white in the right places is a great way to brighten up a room. White cabinets in a kitchen are a great example. I especially like the contrast of white cabinets against a darker wood floor.
A Little Bit of Whimsy A little bit of beach whimsy is a wonderful addition to any beautiful beach home. Just don't overdo it, or it could be tacky. A few fun decor elements, like the pineapple-backed chairs make a coastal statement without being "too much".
Room with a View A beautiful beach house should offer as many rooms with an ocean view as possible! The ocean and beach are the main attractions here in Emerald Isle, so a house that can showcase both of these elements makes it a beautiful beach house. Since my homes have ocean views from every room, I call the homes Rooms with a View. You can rent either home by contacting Century 21 of Emerald Isle. Who wouldn't want to stare at these views from the dining room and living room and every bedroom all day long?
Coastal Blues & Hues Incorporating the breathtaking coastal colors that surround a beach house on a daily basis is one of the design elements I especially love. Light, airy and ethereal coastal colors can bring the beach right into a home. Blending a complementary mix of blues and greens is one of the many ways to create a beautiful beach house here in Emerald Isle. My homes are painted in a hue called Atlantic Sea Foam.
Transitional Space The best beach houses in Emerald Isle often have a transitional space connecting the home and the beach. This lovely ocean-view swing offers the perfect invitation to linger awhile before following the private boardwalk that leads right to the sand and water. My two homes have enormous decks not only around the houses but also around the pools.
A Sunny Place A beach house wouldn't be a beautiful beach house if it didn't have prime access to the coastal elements of sun, sand, salt and sea. Having an oceanfront deck or outdoor patio where you can feel the sun on your face, relax and read a book, or just stare at the ocean while you sip your morning coffee is a must-have and my two ocean front homes have these features in abundance.
What other common elements do beautiful beach houses in Emerald Isle share? I would start with easy access to the very small commercial district running between the 7000 and 10,000 blocks where all the dining facilities, including my Flip Flops Donut shop are located. Another would be having a private swimming pool and plenty of parking. I would also include the fastest internet and flat panel televisions.
So, there you have it, the common elements contained in every beautiful beach house in Emerald Isle. Maybe you are in the market to purchase such a home. Or, maybe you are fortunate to own one of these homes and are thinking about renovating. Either way, knowing the key elements of every beautiful beach house in Emerald Isle will make your tasks less daunting.
