Peace and serenity perfectly describe the spectacular scenery of Anini Beach, Hawaii. This Polynesian-style home represents a casual, yet sophisticated look within a spacious floor plan that is surrounded by glass and windows; perfect for appreciating Kauai’s North Shore view. This home’s furnishings are inspired by an ancient time that celebrated the simple power of nature. The dining room, showcasing a dining table and chairs by Marge Carson, is remarkably bold despite the use of earth-tones and natural elements. 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. A more casual dining area adjacent to the kitchen features a round, glass-topped table and chairs from Century. 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.
