The essence of beach style and how to evoke the spirit of the ocean, even if there isn’t a drop of saltwater in sight.

Modern beachside style is more than shells and surfboards. Whether the inspiration comes from nautical themes, natural elements, winter blues, or the charm of the Mediterranean, the priority is always comfort and tranquility. It doesn’t matter if you don’t live near the beach—the spirit can be captured anywhere.

In this second book in the Style Study series, interior designer Lauren Li takes a deep dive into the best examples of the Beachside Modern look to discover what makes the aesthetic so appealing. From remote Tasmanian beaches and the glamorous French Riviera to a chilly Danish archipelago and the laid-back vibes of California, Li explores the work of leading architects and designers to reveal how they do it.
