The sunny dining room in this Portland, Oregon floating house lets the homeowners lap up lovely views of the Willamette River along with their morning coffee.

More: 15 Shiplap Rooms We Love 

This crisp family room boasts killer views of Florida’s Hobe Sound. (And speaking of sound, when the windows are open you can hear the surf break!) Accentuating the beachy backdrop are nautical inspired details such as blue-and-white striped curtains, shiplap paneling, and a fiery red surfboard for good measure.

Salt-worn cedar shutters, a 30-foot vaulted ceiling (painted blue between the rafters!), and a quirky little wish-bone railing make the ultimate frame for the stunning surf of Jamaica’s Frenchman’s Bay. Striped, legless sofas complete the space’s breezy, bohemian look.

With the boardwalk mere steps away, it only made sense for this Florida living room to take a cue from the great outdoors—the pale blue and aqua of the water and soft pink of the sunset proffer a look that’s almost as breathtaking as the surrounding scenery.

There’s nary a spot on the California coast that doesn’t feel like paradise, but this Malibu lanai takes it to the next level with an oceanfront sitting area bedecked in an abundance of aqua and pink pillows. There’s also a spacious cocktail table, inlaid with stunning turquoise tile, that’s just begging for a Mai Tai to rest on top.
