Yes, we are already deep into spring and even welcoming summer in many parts of the world. But fall and winter are definitely a long way away right now and that means these fabulous design styles should serve you well for months ahead. A couple of them would also be great during colder times, making them a more perennial choice. Whether you like the casual or contemporary, these three nursery styles cover them all –

Breezy Charm of Shabby Chic

It is amazing how the structure and polished 90’s and 2000’s have given way to the more casual and eclectic style that is shabby chic. It is a style that feels relaxing, elegant and you still get a lovely blend of a neutral backdrop and lovely splashes of color. White sheer curtains, delicate fabric, fun motifs and a hint of greenery are all a part of this style. Every one of these elements can be used to create a bright, attractive and healthy nursery where the interior feels as beautiful as rest of your home. Combine shabby chic with a dash of French colonial flair or Scandinavian minimalism for a unique fusion of styles.

Beach Style: Forever Popular

If there is one bankable style that will not let you down, then it is beach style at its beautiful best. Beach style looks good even beyond summer months as it brings that cheerful, fresh look indoors. It is super-easy to create in the nursery with a neutral backdrop, beach style accessories and a plash of blue. Colors like orange and coral are also popular in the beach style nursery. White and blue striped carpets or drapes are also a popular choice and there is no dearth of coastal-themed furniture that you can rely on. This is a style in the nursery that you will not have to change too often.

Contemporary with Colorful Zest

This is a style that allows you to create a more flexible backdrop that gives you an option to convert the nursery into a guest room or even a kids’ room with ease down the line. The neutral appeal of a contemporary nursery also makes it a great gender-neutral place where you can try out different colors and style influences with ease. Finding décor for this nursery is easy enough and if you want to add something unique to the setting a bespoke crib could do the trick. Comfortable chairs, blocks of color and an even layer of lighting should do the rest.

  • Kahua Kuili Residence

    The Kahua Kuili residence is a modern interpretation of the classic Hawai’i summer camp. In keeping with the firm’s design philosophy, the warm yet spacious retreat was designed with longevity in mind. Kahua Kuili incorporates centuries-old indigenous design elements paired with contemporary attitudes to create a residence that will remain relevant for generations to come. Located within the dry portion of the Kona Coast at the base of the large cinder cone Pu’u Kuili, the property offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and Kua Bay as well as mountain views of Hualalai. Previously the site of a working ranch, the transition to residence became an opportunity to return the majority of the landscape to its natural state: a mix of lava and bunch grasses. Inspired by traditional Hawaiian architecture, the 5,590-square-foot residence is composed of multiple structures that simultaneously provide privacy through their scattered arrangement and community through the open spaces between them. The camp-like retreat’s focal point is the main hale (Hawaiian for house), which provides a central gathering place for family and friends. The main hale opens to ocean views and the central, protected courtyard, enabling activity to flow easily between indoor and outdoor space, including to the adjacent pool and tiki bar. The bar/lounge area spills over into the pool, complete with multiple lounge chairs and breathtaking ocean views. A barbecue/luau area allows for gatherings of family and friends who can picnic under the comfort and shade of a magnificent kiawe tree. Deep roof overhangs define the transition between inside and outside and offer shelter from sun and rain. Outdoor spaces link the separate structures—guest quarters, studio, wash house, garage—to one another. The use of simple, durable materials, such as board-formed concrete, western red cedar, large sliding doors, operable wood ventilation louvers, and rope lashing help reinforce the camp-like aesthetic. Western red cedar was selected for its resistance to termites and dry rot as well as for the beautiful way it patinas with age. Natural stone cowboy walls surrounding the property help create a sense of privacy from nearby houses. The interiors, by Marion Philpotts, were designed in a comfortable, contemporary aesthetic with bright colors and retro elements that tie into the modern theme of the structure. The expansive cedar-clad kitchen features a breakfast bar, dining table, and state-of-the-art appliances. Tall ceilings, large windows, and grand sliding doors that open to the courtyard contribute to the casual ease of the house. Intimate spaces, which include cozy reading nooks and relaxing sitting areas, are scattered throughout the home. Kahua Kuili is the quintessential destination for relaxation, where one can unwind comfortably and in style, all while enjoying the natural climate and landscape of Hawaii. Project team
