To create a beach-like space inspired by sand, sea and sky, Candice paints the walls a light sea-green paint and chooses a color palette to match in natural grass, warm coral, breezy sand and dreamy sky-blue. She designs a multifunctional floor plan in order to accommodate the family's many needs, including a playroom, entertainment area, guest retreat, bar/snack area and an office. The kids' toys are relegated to the back of the room where there's plenty of storage, while the main part of the room features a huge sand-colored sectional and big-screen TV for the whole family to enjoy.
