The idea
White walls, dark timber and sea blues.
This beach house in Sharjah is drawn in white and dark timber, with blues and teals taken from the sea. The majlis is a tall room under a fine wire pendant, with a curtain of white rods falling from a curved soffit, low white sofas gathered around a round rug, and dark armchairs. A black metal screen holds plants and a wine rack, and full-height windows look out from the double-height end of the room.
In the bedroom, a curved wall of timber slats is lit from behind in a soft wave, and a dark slatted screen stands behind the bed. A geometric rug in blues sits under the bed and bench, a teal sofa and dressing table complete the room, and a column in white marble stands near the window.

About the project
Sea colours carried indoors
The house opens with the majlis, a high space where the seating gathers in a circle on the rug and the room reaches its full height at one end, glazed from floor to ceiling. Plants and bottles are held in a metal screen. The private side follows in the bedroom, where a lit wall curves around the space, a slatted screen stands behind the bed, and a sofa and dressing table complete the room.
Teal knit and linen cushions bring the colours of the sea onto the white majlis sofas, mixing a soft weave with lighter cloth. In the bedroom, timber slats line the curved wall, lit from behind so the light rises and falls along its length. A geometric rug in blues anchors the bed and bench. Overhead, a chandelier of glass globes on brass catches the light and adds a warmer metal to the cooler palette. The beach house is in Sharjah, UAE.
