Coastal House in Fresh Muted Colors

Take a look at this gorgeous Newport Beach residence of Julie and Darrick Walker. Here’a what the designers had to say about the home: “It has an elegant coastal style with European overtones,” says landscape designer Molly Wood, who collaborated on the project with architect Cynthia Childs and designers Erin Curci and Erin Flinn. “The house looks like it’s always been there, yet it has modern elements,” says Childs, while Flinn notes that it feels “casual yet elegant, beautiful but realistic.” Builder Neil Longman would describe the residence as having “a beachy feel mixed with rustic elements.” While the house might have its contradictions, they all fit seamlessly together.


As for me, the house really stood out for its monochrome muted colors and textures. All design elements have an unpretentious ambiance and the house feels both lived in as well as organized, bright, and uncluttered. The Walkers and their design team created an amazing place that is welcoming to all its visitors and maximizes outdoor living.
