Plascon House Tour: South African Beach house

Summer is in full swing and what better way to enjoy the holidays than with a vacation at the sea. This beautifully refreshing beach house is filled with subtle hints of the ocean- from artistic interpretations of driftwood and woven materials to the lightness of the interior spaces that welcome the outside views inside.

The living area is modern with a touch of rustic charm and an earthiness that grounds one to the natural elements. Striking arched white ceilings open the room up beautifully, and on either side, glass doors create space and flow between the outdoors and the different rooms in this home. We love how wood features in different forms in this living room, from beautifully creative driftwood art to the eclectic mix of furniture in various wooden forms, including rattan and woven pieces with striking solid wood side tables that reflect the natural fissures and imperfections of the wood it is made from. The choice of lighting here is exquisite with a simple yet striking arrangement of interwoven white globes that take centre stage. Suspended from different heights, this cluster of globes create a breathtaking feature in this space. The kitchen is quaint yet modern – and a continuation of the same colour palette and style of the living room. The choice of natural wood again pops against an all-white interior. We also love the use of a suspended pot stand over the main kitchen island – offering functionality and contemporary style in this room. A clever understair wine rack further maximises space in this small room that leads onto the minimalist dining room. The bedroom evokes a real sense of ocean tranquility with the shimmer of a flowing light fixture that creates soft illumination above the bed and draws your eye upward to the fascinating architecture of this room with loft ceilings. The bed itself is beautifully styled in true simplicity and minimal colour – a perfect fit in a customised bed unit that is connected to the wall and offers much needed storage in this room.
