3 Design Ideas to Try in Hawaii Oceanfront Homes

Hawaii, the setting of everyone’s dream vacation, is a beautiful group of islands that come with the promise of picturesque beaches, watersports adventures, amazing food, and an Aloha vibe that’s all about community and having fun together. Hawaii oceanfront homes are the best place to experience these things, and this can only happen with good, thoughtful interior design. In this article, we talk about three fresh design ideas to adopt in a beach home in this side of the Pacific: Skylight in the kitchen. Hawaii’s generally fair weather all year round is among its biggest draws. What better way to embrace it than with a skylight that runs the length of a kitchen? It will let in a lot of natural light, especially towards the kitchen island, which would be perfect for a space where people congregate for preparing – and consuming – food.To make the most of this skylight, it is ideal to use white paint on the walls, which will only reflect the light and make the space look and feel even more spacious. Bold color combinations. Regardless of the design theme that one has adopted, going for bold color combinations is always going to be a great idea in a Hawaii home. An unexpected color palette can make a French-styled room look and feel less stuffy, and a modern minimalist one, less boring and cold, and a decidedly Bohemian or tropical one, less cliche or very much like a random bed and breakfast or hotel room. The goal is a space with a distinct and fresh personality, yet cozy and welcoming at the same time.Some examples of bold color choices would be: walls in light but bright shades like millennial pink and lemon yellow, and saturated ones like magenta or burnt sienna with respective trims of gold and burgundy; bright red or cobalt blue for the doors; and hot pink or teal sofa sets or chairs surrounding white coffee tables. Exposed beams. Much of life in Hawaii is about embracing nature, and so bringing the outdoors in is consistent with the Aloha aesthetic. Using exposed beams would be one way to accomplish this. In living rooms, the slabs of wood can break the monotony of a white ceiling, while also lending the space a more casual, homey feel. The beams may also be where the chandelier or pendant lights can hang from, or if they serve as posts, where items like a sconce or a framed artworks or sign can be nailed to. Perhaps the best part is how their color – from the light cedar or pine to the dark oak, walnut, or mahogany would go with any palette or design theme of a space.
