White washed … comfortable & unfussy

As the end of summer approaches here in Sydney Australia , I can’t help but look upon this project of Marilena Rizou’s and wish I was there. Set on the Greek coast and in sympathy with traditional architecture, the interiors display a languid and desirable way of life. White washed walls and exposed timber beams set the stage for comfortable and unfussy furniture finished in natural materials like stone and linens with the entire design focused around it being as easy as possible to sit down and lounge about. Huge floor cushions and loose comfortable banquettes line the walls and the house itself is as open to the stunning Aegean sea as any house could be. With the crisp and carefree interiors by Rizou, anyone would be lucky their lazy summer days in this beautiful house.
