This home is all about the location. There is a magnificent view over the ocean which changes every day with the light. I wanted the home to feel very open, very family friendly, a sort of modern take on a beach house.
Style like the experts
The oceanfront Freshwater home in Sydney's Northern Beaches has been styled and decorated to exude contemporary living and elegance by bringing a natural and neutral colour palette into the home. Throughout the home you will be enveloped in airy and stylish decor, making the ocean views a real feature of the home.
The home is complete with $198,162 worth of furniture and appliances, all carefully chosen to create a cohesive space with all the comforts of home and beach-side living.
Watch the Style Guide video, or view the list of products used by Neale Whitaker throughout the Freshwater beach house below.
Samsung The Frame TV
For the living room, Neale chose a state-of-the-art Samsung The Frame TV, which has the ability to turn its screen in to a beautiful piece of artwork when not in use, allowing it to be the feature piece of the room.
I want a home to shine with personality so I don’t believe in sticking to any hard and fast rules about what a beach house should look like.
With this in mind, The Frame TV is the perfect choice, allowing the lucky winner to select their favourite artwork to reflect their own style.
Globewest Benjamin Ripple Coffee Table
This beautiful table is filled with texture and bold shapes, featuring a sleek metal base and rippled timber sides. The solid marble top with contrasting veining is the perfect match to the light, bright living space.
What I’ve done throughout is keep the palette very neutral; I’ve used tones of white, cream and pale grey, and for interest, I’ve added natural textures. I’ve added wood, wicker, grass, everything that is tonal and neutral to keep it interesting and soft and to allow that magnificent ocean view to be the hero.
