Throughout the home, the palette was “very much inspired by the beach,” says Flanigan. The sandy neutrals, rich earth tones, and muted blues found in the upstairs landing are a prime example. “It was all about bringing the outdoors in and really celebrating simplicity,” says Flanigan. “We wanted to recreate the sense of calm that being by the ocean allows.”
