Tropical Family Room Design Photos
The Barefoot Bay Cottage is the first-holiday house to be designed and built for boutique accommodation business, Barefoot Escapes (www.barefootescapes.com.au). Working with many of The Designory’s favourite brands, it has been designed with an overriding luxe Australian coastal style synonymous with Sydney based team. The newly renovated three bedroom cottage is a north facing home which has been designed to capture the sun and the cooling summer breeze. Inside, the home is light-filled, open plan and imbues instant calm with a luxe palette of coastal and hinterland tones. The contemporary styling includes layering of earthy, tribal and natural textures throughout providing a sense of cohesiveness and instant tranquillity allowing guests to prioritise rest and rejuvenation.

Like heart pine of the 18th century, today's vintage promises to be the masterpieces of tomorrow.
Authentic heart pine flooring is produced from American managed plantations and sustainable forests using the highest quatlity material and state of the art milling. Heart pine is cut from the center section of the tree and yields a harder, more durable floor. Unlike the color in hardwoods, which fades over time, heart pine, like fine wine, becomes more colorful as it ages.

Jim Walters designed a sectional and two swivel chairs to encourage intimate talking while accommodating large groups watching movies or sports.
Open to the gardens on one side and the ocean on the other, it's hard to find a less than stunning view from the Media Room chairs.
