Nestled along the Imperial River in Bonita Bay, this home has undergone a stunning transformation, embracing the warmth and charm of West Indies-inspired design. With a seamless blend of Caribbean allure and modern aesthetics, this riverfront retreat invites you into a world of relaxed elegance and tropical beauty.
A Bright and Airy Open Concept
As you step inside, you’re greeted by an open concept layout that celebrates the essence of indoor-outdoor living. The remodel presents a departure from its former look, with fresh white walls, warm medium wood tones, and vibrant, tropical-colored accents replacing the green and yellow tones from the past. Large windows and glass doors flood the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere that draws you in.
Living and Dining Areas with Tropical Flair
The living area is tastefully furnished with comfortable seating in light, natural tones, punctuated by fresh pops of greens and blues. Decorative elements, such as updated rattan and woven furniture, patterned throw pillows, and vibrant artwork, reflect the relaxed, tropical vibe of the West Indies. Throughout the space another standout change is the replacement of the old square tile flooring with rich, European wide plank oak. The flooring flows seamlessly into the dining area, where a large wooden table surrounded by high-back host and hostess chairs offers the perfect setting for gatherings.
A Coastal Kitchen Transformation
The updated kitchen is a delightful blend of functionality and elegance, perfectly capturing the essence of coastal living. Designer, Colleen Wilson reimagined the space, incorporating white shaker cabinets, chrome hardware, and a blue-green tonal backsplash that evokes an updated beachy vibe. Stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops add a modern touch, while a spacious island with natural woven back counter stools serves as a functional focal point. The kitchen harmoniously connects with the breakfast nook and family room.
Elegant Family Room Updates
In the family room, the transformation continues with a new focal point that features an electric fireplace clad in stunning palm-textured porcelain tile, creating a cozy and elegant gathering area. Stained cabinetry flanks the TV wall, accented with natural blue seagrass wall covering, which lends an open, earthy feel to the room.
A Serene Master Suite
The master bedroom has been transformed into a serene retreat, boasting a woven headboard and hand-carved nightstands that enhance the room’s tropical charm. The space exudes tranquility, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day.
Meanwhile, the master bath was completely gutted and reimagined with luxurious finishes and natural elements such as woven cabinet fronts and tropical wallpaper. Porcelain tiles, sleek fixtures, and elegant lighting replaced the previous elements, creating a spa-like oasis. The finishing touch was a freestanding tub that took the place of the old built-in tub deck.
A Tranquil Guest Bath Update
The transformation extends to the guest bathroom, where the old tile, wallpaper, and vanity were replaced with textured geometric tile, custom cabinetry with a quartz countertop, chrome plumbing, and a conversation-starting wallpaper featuring white egrets in flight. This update brings a touch of whimsy and elegance to the guest space, making it as inviting as it is stylish
Working within the existing footprint of the home, the result of this transformation is a captivating coastal infused living space that invites relaxation and offers a true escape from the everyday. Showing just how powerful high-quality design can be.
Whether enjoying the bright, airy interiors or the lush outdoor views, this home embodies the perfect blend of style, comfort, and the laid-back allure.
