Interior style - Beach lofts

Get the 'beach loft look'

We're often asked about the artists whose floor-ceiling seascapes line the walls of the beach lofts, where to find the sizeable woven basket pendant lampshades hanging from the rafters, and the suppliers behind the other textures and features, from cushions to wardrobe handles. Here's your guide to get the beach loft look.

Everything in the beach lofts is individually sourced and usually from local, independent suppliers. We caught up with the designer Matt Hulme from Dynargh Design to share his secrets on how to recreate the beach loft feel at home.
