This is the coastal bedroom dreams are made of

Inside the coastal bedroom of our dreams

And how to re-create it at your place - by Kathryn Madden

We’re calling it a suite sensation. Set in a three-bedroom beach house on the New South Wales south coast, this space is a lesson in stylish simplicity, bolstered by commercial-grade bi-fold doors that open onto a private garden. “It’s beautiful in the mornings,” says homeowner Tracy. “And, as the trees grow, it will become even lusher.” A butterfly-style chair and side table serve Tracy as a spot for a little ‘me time’ and can be easily moved from bedroom to deck to enjoy the sunny aspect. Just add water views.

Here, layers of turquoise, teal, mint and smoky blue bounce off crisp white walls and sandy-hued timber. The shutters, panelled walls and shapely concrete pendant nod to the seaside locale.
