Color and Pattern

For this vacation home in Oakland, Maine, host Matt Blashaw used a subtle mix of soft neutrals and coordinating patterns for a decidedly designer look.

Smart Addition

A window seat, great for reading or relaxing, was added in order to really capitalize on the lake views surrounding this Maine home.

Natural Materials

Wooden beams and a stone fireplace create a cozy cabin vibe, while contemporary furnishings contribute to the home's more modern style.

An open floor plan with one big space for cooking, dining and lounging appeals to vacationing families, and large windows throughout illuminate the space with soft, natural lighting.

Planning Ahead

Perfect for this ocean home, plants that thrive in sandy soil were planted for future guests to enjoy.

Visual Space

The kitchen may not be spacious, but neutral colors and a splash of green make the space feel a bit larger and definitely more fun.

Ocean Escape

Matt brought the beach style in with sea-inspired art and nautical striped bedding. A window seat in the bedroom provides the perfect spot to start the day.

Kitchen Colors

The dark kitchen island and textural slate backsplash add depth to this dazzling cooking space, while stunning red cabinets add a nice dash of color.
