Luxurious Homes From Top Designers

This cozy beachside bedroom features warm wood furnishings against a cool, gray and white backdrop. A long wall of glass offers a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean, while a terrace gives the owners a spot to enjoy the ocean out-of-doors. A modern desk and comfy reading chair build maximum function into the space.

A long island with barstools means that it's easy to keep the chef company and take in yummy lake views. The room's light-colored palette doesn't compete a whit with the natural surroundings.

For a seamless transition to the outdoors, the architects installed sliding glass doors that open right onto the water. In turn, this contemporary living room feels even more spacious and allows the natural light and cool breezes to filter inside.

This beautiful vacation home sits right on the edge of a lake; inside, the homeowners wanted to recreate the look of a Nantucket cottage.
