CARLOS SERRA
INTERIOR DESIGN
Whites that blend with the blue of the sea perfectly define the latest work by interior designer Carlos Serra in this house facing the Mediterranean.
The pristine white on the floors and walls runs through this house on the Jávea coast, merging with natural textures and wood to create very bright and warm spaces, elegant but functional, a complicated balance that Serra masters perfectly.
The small hall opens to the spacious living room with a fireplace where the protagonist is a large L-shaped sofa and, how could it be otherwise, in pristine white linen. Next to the sofa, a four meter long antique wooden console, decorated with Indian panels, vases and two lamps that create a very cozy atmosphere. The importance of indirect lighting and ambient lighting are crucial to creating very special atmospheres, the interior designer points out.
Two fiberglass manuelles and two ancient Chinese stools complete the room that opens to the sea through tosca arches.
The dining room, also with views of the sea, follows the same line of white and natural textures, made up of a mobila table, a built-in bench and Malawi chairs.
The main room falls in love as soon as you enter. A built-in bed facing the Mediterranean where you can enjoy dreamy sunrises. A bed whose headboard extends to become a work table where teleworking can become a real luxury.
The three youth rooms stand out for the serenity they transmit, all of them in white and stone colours. The cane swing that hangs in one of the rooms stands out and gives a bucolic touch to the room.
Of course, the kitchen, also with views of the sea, is made of brick with doors with white shutters and dressed in black and white tiles that form geometric drawings.
Outside, we find a naia for which Serra has chosen furniture in white and natural colors, following the same line as the interior, creating a space where he enjoys long evenings by the sea.
Also the pool, the hammocks and the porch are another of the strong points of this house designed by Serra to enjoy both the interior and the exterior. Winters by the fireplace and a rough sea and unforgettable summer days.
