19. Whitewashed Teak & Outdoor-Indoor Flow
What This Idea Means
A design focused on seamless transition between indoor living rooms and outdoor ocean decks, using weather-resistant whitewashed teak furniture and continuous flooring materials.
How to Make It
- Doors: Install large sliding or folding glass accordion doors that open completely to an exterior patio.
- Furniture: Use whitewashed teak sofas and armchairs with weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric cushions suitable for indoor/outdoor use.
- Flooring: Extend indoor stone or tile flooring continuously onto the outdoor patio deck.
Tips & Variations
- Use low-profile furniture so views out toward outdoor decks remain open from every angle inside.
- Choose outdoor-rated performance fabric for indoor sofas if you have pets or active beachside living.
