A riverside home filled with coastal style

Pine pieces have been given a makeover with a coat of fresh white paint and a gentle sanding

As all three bedrooms face the river, furnishings are pared back to provide a neutral backdrop to the view

The light infused open-plan living area has a modern yet comfortable feel with a modular sofa layered with cushions in blue and natural hues from stores such as No Chintz and Maya Muse

A pair of Adirondack chairs, topped with blue ikat cushions from No Chintz, are a popular spot to enjoy the view

The white and wood theme continues in the bathroom, with matt white wall tiles and pale grey floor tiles. The modern bath with oak legs offers a contemporary twist on a classic roll top

The furniture in the guest room has been repainted with Colorbond Surfmist, which teams well with the patterned and striped bedlinen

Overlooking the river, the patio provides a picturesque spot to entertain

Decorating inspiration is provided by the natural surroundings

The whitewashed dining table lends a perfect beach-house feel, with the wicker lampshade adding to the beachy vibe
