Showhouse Tour | Southern Living Idea House 2024
Visiting the Southern Living Idea House on Kiawah Island was a beautiful showcase of layered design—a thoughtful balance of classic and current. A mix of antiques and unlacquered brass gave the home a sense of history, grounding the fresh, coastal aesthetic. The neutral color palette was enriched by coastal, marshy hues of blue and green, with moody accents like deep plum cabinetry adding contrast. Textural details—from fluted cabinetry to handmade backsplash tiles—brought warmth and depth to each space.
This house was a reminder that great design isn’t just about style—it’s about creating a home that feels collected, comfortable, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Enjoy a look at a few of my favorite spaces and design details from the home. And if you’re looking to bring this kind of charm into your own space, I’ve created a shopping guide filled with timeless accents to help you achieve this look.
