Malibu

Situated above Malibu beach's incoming tide, this airy seaside residence belonging to Kelly Wearstler embodies the designer's inherent connection to nature. A sun-bleached color palette combined with sculptural applications of wood and marble gives the abode its castaway allure.

The panoramic seascape view framed in the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows provide an ideal backdrop for the open layout interiors, creating a connection with the ocean.

Wearstler's curation of designs embody the various objects one might find on the beach, creating a seamless transition between the inside and out.

The architectural bleached-walnut staircase leads up to the second floor where the vast skylight illuminates an incredible ficus tree that is planted in the main foyer and fills the home's two stories.

Walking through the home feels like walking on the beach. The wave-patterned marble walls in the master bath echo the rippling effect of the tide coming in.

Through the master bath is the walk-in closet, featuring bleached oak paneling that evokes the sense of sailing on a private yacht.
