Vacation Style Homes

As life seems to get busier and busier, we all need a vacay for a little R & R,  and this is the time of year for it.  But, why not live like you are on vacation every day of the year in a vacation style home and add a bit of calm to your life.

The style and grace of a vacation or resort style home starts with color.  Whites, neutrals and blue colors from the sea and sky will make you feel refreshed and relaxed.  This beach retreat is bathed in all white with natural wood touches throughout creating an environment to put you at ease.

For quintessential beach cottage style keep everything crisp white and blue with touches of dark wood to anchor the room and silver or nickel finishes on metal.  Blue and white stripes make nice finishing touches for throw pillows, rugs or even drapes.

Luxury by the lake is another vacation style inspiration we are loving at Jigsaw.  With bead board throughout hallways and common areas that are reminiscent of a boat house, this look is easy to keep tidy.  Use neutrals throughout with touches of blue and natural wood to bring the outdoors in.

The Jigsaw Design team are big fans of the free standing tub, and this lakeside bathroom is truly a retreat with high vaulted ceilings, all white washed colors, yard after yard of white linen drapes all opening onto a gorgeous view.

If it’s the mountains that you crave, then the ski house is the perfect vacation style home to emulate if you seek something with more warmth and coziness built in.  This stunning bedroom in the French alps created with clean modern lines that are warmed with the black walls and layers of texture-the soft duvet, tufted bench and silk rug.

All of these vacation style homes have a common thread among them while remaining so different.  There is no clutter, mail or papers in sight, and the decor is kept to a minimum with little or no tchotchke…and yet their is still so much to enjoy about each space.
