Calm and Cool
A 10-foot industrial white ceiling fan is a must have for Lowcountry living where warm weather is a year-round affair. The fan’s style plays off the x-frame base of the white coffee table to unify the room’s design from top to bottom.

Porch Traditions
Painting the ceiling of the great room Carolina blue is a thoughtful nod to the local tradition of painting porch ceilings blue to keep evil spirits away. Adding the color to the room’s ceiling plays with this tradition while also adding a pop of color that connects with the other blue elements in the space.

Coastal Inspiration
The great room’s open floor plan is anchored by the tabby-style fireplace wall and relaxed seating area. A seagrass area rug grounds the chairs and sofa while the Carolina blue ceiling adds an unexpected pop of color to the room.
