West Sussex Modern Beach House

Here a linear lantern helps define the dining area, lowering the ceiling height for warmth and intimacy. Shiplap cladding on the walls adds architectural interest, and depth to the shape. Natural wood and wicker furniture, a warm jute rug and decorative stone objects give it an organic feel, reflecting the coastal views and garden beyond. Graphic blue and white cushion covers add colour and detail to the space, while the floaty white linen curtains lend to the coastal feel. Photographer: Nick George
