The Residency Bureau has reimagined this warm and inviting getaway home as a family escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and busy careers in Washington’s San Juan Islands. The owners, a family of four, sought out this post and beam home, desiring a relaxing respite nestled along the water and surrounded by trees. While the bones of the home and adjacent log cabin were still in decent shape, they required a facelift to echo the playful aesthetic of the homeowners.
The project team took their design cues from the surrounding terrain for this seaside retreat, creating a colorful yet peaceful retreat for accommodating family and friends. In the family room, you will find a cozy atmosphere that is inspired by the views of Garrison Bay, while a fireplace provides a haven for those looking for warmth and ambiance. Continue below to see the rest of this idyllic island retreat…

What We Love: This San Juan Island getaway home offers ample sleeping space for hosting overnight guests while remaining uncluttered and serene. We love how the designer opted for a warm color palette in this home instead of the traditional faded white wood and turquoise in most seaside homes. Borrowing inspiration from the surrounding trees, this home is s filled with natural textures, cozy materials, and organic elements that blend beautifully with the tranquil island setting.

Throughout this retreat, the designer used a lot of linen and wool for texture and warmth. She also used performance fabrics or added fabric guard to the furniture upholstery for wear and tear.
