With sweeping verandas, wooden columns and a saline swimming pool, this two-story villa in Point Loma, Calif. becomes an idyllic retreat. The exterior is kept simple and neutral to highlight the lush landscape, while solar panels on the roof ensure that the home is eco-friendly.

Stepping inside, visitors will find a soothing, neutral-toned living room where plush wicker chairs allow for unwinding. Green accents pair with wooden features to bring elements of the outdoors inside, as well as breathe color into the white setting. 

Downstairs, a round glass-topped dining table and wicker-backed chairs wait at the ready for guests. A round chandelier accentuates the high ceilings, while a hand-carved wooden column adds texture and detail to the clean space. 

Powered by the solar-paneled roof, two pendant lights brighten this contemporary kitchen and help balance the large eat-in counter. Where the marble top adds movement and energy to the space, three wicker chairs ground the setting.
