The owners of this three-bedroom town house used its wonderful coastal views as inspiration for its interior schemes.

Exterior

Living room
The owners opted to make the main living spaces open plan, so they could look out at the sea views from all parts of the house. The sofas were the starting point for the relaxed look and a soft, neutral colour scheme has been used throughout the house.

Dining area
The dining table and chairs are positioned in a spot from which the sea views can be enjoyed during mealtimes. The dining chairs were bought second-hand for £50 and were painted and reupholstered to suit the rest of the scheme.

Kitchen-diner
Natural light floods through the L-shaped kitchen-diner from the conservatory at the end of the space. The owners chose light furniture and kitchen units so the kitchen-diner feels bright all year round.

Storage area
The screen was picked up at a car-boot sale. The homeowner updated it with a sailing-boat-print fabric to match the nautical-inspired accessories displayed in the dresser.

Conservatory
Inside the conservatory, textured wicker sofas and striped cushions create a laid-back, coastal scheme. The nautical theme is carried into the garden, where there is a boat-shaped arbour, plus nets and oil lamps that came from a former fisherman.
