1960s Beach House Transformation!

Author name

Look closely at this lovely change!

This vacation property needed a full makeover to transition from its previous life to a peaceful new one.

This home built in 1959, in a quiet neighborhood near the ocean in Pompano Beach, Florida required more than just cosmetic renovations to make it look pleasing and welcoming; it also required space-saving modifications.

We moved the washer and dryer from the kitchen, which took up a lot of space on the previous arrangement. We were able to add more countertop space and storage for kitchen goods as a result of these modifications. We added a dishwasher that was missing before and a large The Galley workstation. All built-in appliances that help this space feel clean and light. We removed the soffit that enclosed the kitchen to create the illusion of a more open layout and to visually connect the social areas.

What was once the linen closet is now home to the washer and dryer. Closer access to the rooms is made possible by the bedroom hallway.

The guest / children's bedroom now has a more functional and roomy built-in closet that runs from side to side and from floor to ceiling. Adding a lot more storage space to this area.

We also removed an awkwardly situated closet in a corner, making the primary or master bedroom feel much larger. We kept the majority of the materials and colors light and cozy. Through the home we mixed beautiful textures from wallpaper, fabrics, tiles, a live moss art piece to the concrete sinks for both bathrooms.

This beach house transformation turned out to be everything you want to feel being by the water: peace, tranquility, and relaxation. There is a combination of neutral tones with pops of shades of blue throughout. With a slight contrast between light and dark tones, there is an overall feel of softness with natural elements and textures as a connection between the exterior and interior. The smooth touches and edges bring in the organic waves of the ocean. Upon completion of this project, the house transformed into a serene, calm, and comforting environment that is perfect to come back to after a full day out by the water.

I hope you like these before and after pictures! To see all the completed pictures visit the project’s tab.

Bringing Nature Indoors
By Juanita Sierra February 18, 2025
What is Biophilic Design? At its core, biophilic design is about embracing our innate bond with nature. It’s more than just adding a few plants—it’s a deliberate integration of natural materials, organic textures, abundant natural light, and greenery to cultivate a space that feels alive and harmonious. This approach enhances both aesthetics and function, promoting a deeper connection between people and their surroundings. The Benefits of Biophilic Design 1. **Boosts Well-being** Being surrounded by nature-inspired elements has been shown to reduce stress, elevate mood, and enhance mental clarity. Natural light, plants, and even the presence of water can create a calming atmosphere. 2. **Increases Productivity** Workspaces designed with biophilic elements foster focus, creativity, and overall job satisfaction. Studies suggest that employees in these environments experience higher performance and reduced absenteeism. 3. **Enhances Indoor Air Quality** Plants naturally purify the air, filtering toxins and improving oxygen levels, leading to healthier and fresher indoor environments. 4. **Encourages Energy Efficiency** Maximizing natural light and ventilation reduces the need for artificial lighting and excessive HVAC use, making spaces more sustainable and energy-efficient. Simple Ways to Introduce Biophilic Design into Your Space Let in the Light: Optimize natural light with large windows, skylights, and strategically placed mirrors to brighten up your space. Incorporate Greenery: Whether it’s a lush indoor garden, a green wall, or thoughtfully placed houseplants, adding greenery makes an immediate impact. Use Natural Materials: Incorporate wood, stone, bamboo, or other organic textures in furniture, flooring, and decor to create warmth and authenticity. Integrate Water Elements: A small indoor fountain or water feature can add a soothing touch while enhancing the sensory experience of a space. Embrace Organic Shapes & Patterns: Nature-inspired textures, patterns, and curved designs in furnishings, textiles, or wallpapers can bring a sense of balance and flow. Why Biophilic Design Matters Beyond its aesthetic appeal, biophilic design is about fostering wellness, sustainability, and a connection to nature within our daily environments. Whether designing a home, office, or commercial space, incorporating natural elements elevates both functionality and comfort. At Blu Ink Interiors, we are passionate about designing spaces that not only look beautiful but also feel enriching and restorative.
