Australian House & Garden

OPENING GAMBIT. This beach house living room is all about the view – uninterrupted as corner glass doors slide completely open. Owner and interior designer Michael Tolerton wanted holidaymakers to feel as though they were living outside, so he kept the basic interior palette white, allowing the exterior to visually dominate without distracting from the functionality of the room.
