Here are some of the stunning spaces in the best beach homes in the Aloha State:
An expansive living room.Lots of seating spaces – sofas and comfortable benches and high-backed winged chairs – and an airy feel created by a flood of natural light, high, vaulted ceilings, large windows, and an open layout: These are important things for a Hawaiian living room to have, if it is to be the gathering place of friends and family. Plus points if there are conversation pieces, like a well-made bookshelf from the turn of the century, an area rug from the owners’ trip to Morocco, an oversized, low-slung chandelier, or a vintage barbershop chair.
A plush dining area with a relaxed feel.Dining rooms of Hawaii luxury homes are best when they combine a luxe yet casual vibe – with traditional as well as contemporary elements that make dining fun, even as everything looks fancy. Exposed wooden beams, rustic chairs, and patterned fabric such as striped curtains, animal print rugs, and Southeast Asian table runners, would look nice alongside traditional hardwood dining tables, with gilded plates and utensils, and posh centerpieces like polished metal vases, crystal candelabras, or porcelainware from France.
A well-appointed kitchen.Kitchens in Hawaii need to be ready for huge parties that residents here like to host. The good ones are appointed with top-of-the-line appliances, from refrigerators, to the stove range and hood, and dishwasher, as well as meticulously crafted cabinetry that uses dense wood like Ohia. These splendid homes would have an outdoor kitchen, too, for those Sunday barbecue parties by the pool or the garden.
A luxe bathroom.Finally, Hawaii beach houses need a big bathroom, with a full bath tub – ideally freestanding just like those in celebrity homes. Like the kitchen, it must be appointed with only the finest items, from the lighting fixtures, to stylish vanities and full-length mirrors.
