What makes a seaside home a
seaside home? Take a quick stroll through a recent project on the Connecticut coast by designer Leia T. Ward and you ll spot nary a blue-and-white accent or nautical motif; instead, the founder of LTW Design leveraged her penchant for warm-but-minimal modernism to let the home play a supporting role to its most striking feature: the sweeping ocean views. Our intention was to redefine coastal, says Ward, also a successful home stager, who met her now-clients after they came to see a house she d staged on a nearby island. They fell in love with the decor, and eventually enlisted Ward when they decided to build a new house on a different property. In that way it s really organic, says the designer of her client relationship. They knew my work, and they just said, we want to work with you from the ground up.
