A casual slip-covered look from Huntington House invites guests to relax in the adjoining living area.

In the master bedroom, textured bamboo combines with the mahogany finish of a sleek-lined bed and accent pieces from Hurtado. A hand-knotted rug from Afghanistan anchors the furnishings and softens the overall palette.

The woven texture and bamboo-style legs of the dining chairs complement the otherwise contemporary curves of this collection, bringing the outdoor “feel” of Anini Beach comfortably inside.

This home’s grand salon is the epitome of sleekness, from the crisp lines of Swaim sofas accentuated by a striking chocolate welt, to the more fluid shape of mahogany accent chairs from Christopher Guy. Simple and elegant Swaim barstools line the counter.

In the living area, a Vanguard sectional provides a chaise lounge perfect for admiring the spectacular ocean view. A beautifully inlaid cocktail table from Taracea and a copper clad side table from Hickory White add the finishing touches to this quaint conversation area. In the master bedroom, the crisp white fabrics of a Huntington House sofa and bed linens from Mario & Marielena echo the area’s white sand beaches. Outside, woven furniture from Whitecraft rests before a beautiful stone fireplace, providing style and comfort equivalent to its indoor counterparts.

The open floor plan offers a spacious great room, perfect for gatherings. A large, neutral-toned sectional from Huntington House set atop a classically colorful hand-knotted rug by Jaipur gives the space a feeling of casual sophistication. Nearby, a contrasting dining table and chairs from Lorts feature antique finishes on knotty cypress, adding a nice mix of old and new.

In the bedroom, the warm leather of a Henredon bed creates an inviting sanctuary, accompanied by complementary nightstands from Century Furniture. The muted Jaipur rug beneath provides a beautiful finishing touch.

The Nautica collection of furnishings from Lexington Home Brands is featured throughout the villa. The dark cherry finish of these refined, casual pieces provides the perfect contrast to the light, natural colors of the walls, fabrics and Jaipur rugs under foot. Clean, geometric lines mix beautifully with gentle curves in the living room and dining room. In the bedroom, a high canopy bed complements the vaulted ceiling, creating an airy, relaxing escape from the world.
