Monday Mood board – Contemporary Holiday Home, the Space

A wonderful house on the water for walking, water sports and relaxation. But the owners did not want a typical holiday home but the appearance of the interior in contrast with the surroundings. 

Monday Mood board – Contemporary Holiday Home, the style

It had to be more urban and glamorous and not urban or coastal.

• Luxury versus Basic 
• Modern versus Rural 

Environment and Interior form together “WATER WEALTH”

Monday Mood board – Contemporary Holiday Home, Key Elements

The existing wooden floor is a good basic.  

Enough seating for a family, a little fire pit and a solution for storage were part of the mood board.  

Remarks to the mood board: 

In the middle is the wooden floor. On the top left a bright room with a black sofa and light rug. Black blinds for small windows, a natural-colored chair (amber, cognac) that adds color and a gray mantelpiece with a fireplace. 

The accessories are bronze / gold-colored and therefore give a chic accent, while it remains warm. 

At the bottom left, there is a light sofa with a dark back wall and dark rug. You can make a choice on practical grounds or because you come across a sofa or rug that suits your taste. 

A storage cabinet in the middle, against the back wall. Here in a light shade that matches well with the kitchen.  

In addition, a look at the hall. Black doors give body, especially if you combine this with a black ceiling in the highest part. The steel door with glass, to allow light into the home, plus for a chic industrial effect.  

To the right of the door, a photo wall (for the hall).
