Casual and chill living rooms

Creating cozy and comfortable living spaces go hand-in-hand with unpretentious, well-loved pieces of furniture, and low-maintenance natural materials that age well.

Be comfortable in your domain.  Let your space serve you well but keep you humble!

Summery

Can't go wrong with some bright colors and natural textures.

Can't find where this image is from. If you happen to know please let me know. I would like to give proper credit.

Tough choice: Relax and enjoy, or impress others

Kind of a surf shack, this house. It may be small with a smaller kitchen, and lack shiny new appliances, expensive faucets, and granite countertops, etc, but they have some cool colorful tiles in the kitchen, some green foliage in the yard, and a cozy, happy, easy-going home! What's more important to you?

Simple life by the beach

Some people like fancy counter tops and cabinets but I would be just fine with a place like this. The chairs by the table outside seem a bit uncomfortable - I could replace those with the ubiquitous plastic white chairs (inexpensive, very practical, and comfy) but everything else would do just fine. Be comfortable and cover your needs but don't blow time and money on picking up pretentious stuff!

Surf Shack - Cabo San Lucas

Talk about an unpolished life! This may be a little too much for more than a limited amount of time but then again, there's a lot of inspiration in these images; using local & natural materials, not hiding the structural elements, a very relaxed and modest lifestyle... etc.Both the inside and the outside images of the shack found on Flickr in Mareen Fischinger's photostream.
