This amazing seaside retreat was designed by its owner Karen B. Wolf Interiors, located in Long Beach, a coastal city and port in Southern California. Constructed for the designer and three generations of her family to enjoy, this home reflects a relaxed beachy vibe. The design style melds California casual with a more traditional beach house aesthetic, nautical-inspired hues, and rustic textures.
California casual style is a decorating style that uses neutral, soft hues for the furnishings and walls. Living spaces are inviting and comfortable with a pared-back boho feel elevated with natural materials and fabrics that include leather, wood, linens, and stone. The color palette in this home is a mixture of blues, whites, and sandy tones, inspired by the adjacent ocean. Continue below to see the rest of this beautiful beach house…

As a family retreat, emphasis on outdoor living was just as important as indoor living spaces. Each level features a sun deck and this upper-level deck is used for al fresco dining, capturing views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and the sunset on the other.
This indoor-outdoor living space features three multi-functional living zones — prep, dine, and lounge. The beach-chic vibe is carried into this space, with a white and blue color palette, complemented by wicker accents, and a driftwood dining table.
Sleek garage-style doors completely open this kitchen, living, and dining space to the outdoors, creating a seamless flow out to the pool deck.
A ground-floor lanai offers indoor-outdoor living, leading from the main house to the swimming pool and garden.
