Seeing that summer homes are a costly investment - on average, a US vacation home costs $429,000 - it's important to ensure you're decorating your space with durable yet welcoming pieces.
I wouldn't use a shag bath mat in a beach house because it can trap sand and moisture. I find high-pile bath mats impractical in summer homes where owners need to clean between guests.
I consider cleaning challenges when designing a summer home's kitchen or bathroom - especially if the space will be used as a rental. Because of this, I typically install large tiles instead of small ones.
Lightweight window treatments can be too flimsy. On vacation, I love to sleep with my windows open to enjoy the ocean waves and cool coastal breeze.
