It’s all about the curves in this stunning living room, with the views inside just as lovely as those beyond the windows. Designers Ben Leavitt and Maria Espinosa play with shapes in a way that never feels derivative: an oversized custom sectional hugs the panoramic windows, while a suspended fireplace, round hearth and organically shaped rug soften the space into something sculptural and serene. The star of the show is the soft blue, high gloss Venetian plaster ceiling from 5 Star Finishes, polished to a mirror-like sheen to reflect the waves and ripples of the ocean below. And while the beachy palette of ecru and creams feels as soothing as a Sunday morning, the pop of moss green on the occasional chair offers a welcome, grounding moment in the space.
