In our latest lookbook, we've found eight coastal homes that take advantage of wide-spanning oceanic views, from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Including a mid-century modern getaway home in the Hamptons and a tropical paradise in the Bahamas, each home has a unique way of providing picture-perfect scenes.
Whether incorporating the playful elements of a cargo net or building infinity pools that almost reach the sea, each home has found a way to provide interiors that honour their settings.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring living rooms with sculptural furniture, herringbone flooring in neutral homes and tips for bathroom decorating.
