Combining water views with your home is a winning hand. As far as views that always deliver, there is nothing as unique (and, let's face it, just a bit envious) as a body of water, whether it be an ocean, lake, or river, as one's landscape. Design your house in ways to prioritize the views! Furniture and decorations can enhance the already-wonderful vista of any waterway.

The River Thames in England serves as the scenery for the small dining table in this modern house. Notice the custom-built windows that open with barely any effort to get out of either chair next to it. The perfectly-selected mirror has the waves of the river in its design.

An apartment is a bit farther from the water than a house, but that should not prevent the infusing of water themes. The beachy feel of this kitchen and living room comes from the colorful stool chairs and the oceanic tones found on the sofa and kitchen items.
