A private island retreat is modernized and filled with soft sky blues, natural texture and warm contemporary furnishings for lakeside living at its finest. The result is serene and nature-inspired, but with personality to spare.

This house in nestled in undulating hills that roll to the south, so the mandate in each and every room was to keep it spare, free of colour and clutter, and let the views and natural light be the wow factor. We brought in some European charm with a warm Scandi palette of oatmeal, wheat, flax, camel, and mushroom, and some Alpine-inspired accents.

"The location has all the charm you'd want from the country: a driveway flanked by a canopy of trees, a white picket fence, the sounds of crickets and bullfrogs - and the place of their dreams was here, not anywhere else." - Sarah Richardson
