Lakehouse Great Room & Paint Colors
Design: Lisa Furey Interiors; Photography: Lindsey Shorter
Blue & White Pillows
The exact pillows in this great room are custom made with an indigo and white linen fabric by Schumacher called Andromeda:
But not to worry! You can easily find custom pillows these days online – even the exact pillows (tap the image above). BONUS! If you love this pattern, it is available for Andromeda wallpaper:
For another option with indigo and white:
When it makes sense to choose pillows that will stand up to kids and the outdoors…
And this one is a handsome, classic, reversible stripe with a subdued blue chambray:
I’m partial to the chinoiserie feel of this coastal Morningside Pillow Cover:
This blue and white pillow features a warmer shade of white:
Serena & Lily’s Kemp embroidered pillow in navy is utterly charming. Be sure to expand the photo when you view it on their site to fully appreciate:
Schumacher’s Betwixt indigo/ivory fabric is another classic pattern for upholstery and won’t fall from favor:
Ikat pillows such as these will also impart a similar feeling as that Andromeda pattern in our inspiration room:
Need White Sofa Ideas?
The exact sofa in the great room?
Sullivan sofa is here, and check out THIS POST with more white sofa possibilities.
Have a preference as far as sofa seat cushions?
I have grown fond over the years for a single bench cushion.
Here’s another image of that same sofa:
Or individual cushions like the sofas I have in our family room?
In my own living room, our long sofa has a single cushion:
In my opinion, 3-seat sofas can be as equally comfortable.
So you certainly don’t have to sacrifice comfort; it is a matter of to what your eye is drawn.
Coffee Table Options
The exact coffee table: Oomph Edgartown, and for a similar look see this one:
This one’s so chic:
And here’s a casual round with island chic that feels modern rustic for a small space:
Here’s a budget conscious option that provides plenty of display/storage space:
Natural Fiber Area Rugs
If you live with a jute area rug, than you may know how much ease they bring.
The neutral color works with everything, and you can easily layer another rug.
So forgiving, they are a classic, timeless element that won’t feel out of style next season.
Shopping for something softer and still neutral? I love this inexpensive beauty:
Neutral enough that it can feel like a wood floor no matter what flooring you presently have. And it’s possible to still pull in beautiful coastal blues.
Ideas for White Oak Flooring
So many fans of coastal style and informal modern country decor are sold on the beauty of white oak for flooring.
Both traditional hardwood or engineered wood flooring are options, and don’t be shy about engineered products. They bring a stability that rivals that of a wood floor.
There was a time I felt shy about pre-finished hardwoods, but no more! If you have lived through chapters of renovation where the wood floors are finished on site, you know it’s a toxic, messy, expensive, labor-intensive prospect!
Another option beyond wood flooring? LVP is what many homeowners with pets swear by. Here’s my current favorite which reminds me of white oak. The quality, wide plank ease for the installer, and price are hard to beat! Obviously read through the reviews before you even snag a sample.
Great Room’s Staircase Design
What I admire about the staircase in this open floor plan family room is how it is modern and refined. No bulky or rustic newel posts. What goes wrong quickly in projects where modern farmhouse is the predominant vernacular, is choosing modern farmhouse everything. That may date a project rather quickly.

Cottage & Great Room Paint Colors
The paint color for interiors and exterior as well as trim, ceilings, and cabinetry? BENJAMIN MOORE White OC-151.
Master Bathroom Vanity Paint Color: SHERWIN WILLIAMS Tinsmith.
Grey Kitchen Island Paint Color: BENJAMIN MOORE Pashmina AF-100
Blue cabinet in entry: BENJAMIN MOORE Andes Summit.
Dining Area in Great Room
So I suggest peeking at Pottery Barn’s Frasier collection in the slate colorway. They are crafted by hand, textured, and look so great on a mantel, console or side table.
The woven rope dining chairs are so well made and gorgeous:
You may be able to snag the look of those arm chairs HERE.
Deck Resource Ideas
Here are a few ideas for getting the look of this relaxing patio:
Why not bring that indigo blue from inside outside too?
You could also opt for classic metal chairs:
No need to keep it matchy-matchy with your blues. This softer blue gingham pillow feels coastal and casual if you want a relief from the indigo and cobalt blue:
Blue Accents in a Cottage
Designer Lisa Furey used the navy paint color BENJAMIN MOORE Andes Summit as an accent on a cupboard in the entry and door below.
Another coastal blue paint color to capture the spirit here? BEHR Deep Azure, similar to Andes Summit above.
Board & Batten Cottage Inspo
In case you’re curious about the texture on the outside of this property:
The designer and former owner called it a blend of coastal cottage and modern farmhouse, and I might call it modern country coastal.
Isn’t the metal roof charming?
And how amazing to have a separate guest house AND a separate studio (above the garage)?
Like a private kingdom…and who isn’t dreaming of a sustainable sanctuary in light of the changing landscape of “home” and “work” in the 2020s?
