Malibu is known for many things, but its beautiful beaches and relaxed, coastal aesthetic are at the top of the list. So it should come as no surprise that when The Surfrider Malibu opened last year with its bright spaces and modern-meets-throwback aesthetic, people went nuts for it. The suites are gorgeous and the offerings are luxurious, but the place itself still has that old school California roadside motel vibe.

We’re constantly inspired when we walk through the doors here, and thought you might be interested in recreating the look of the Surfrider lounge space in your very own home. Here always to help us find the goodies to complete the look, Chairish is providing us with tons of inspiration below.

This cushy, cozy white linen couch with tons of overstuffed pillows finishes the whole Surfrider look. Since these are made to order, you might you even opt to go with a pair if your space can hold them both.

The high-contrast black line drawings on the walls at Surfrider add a ton of character to the bright, white walls. To achieve a similar look, a collection of oversized black and white drawings should do the trick. Try this original drawing by Erik Sulander.

We’d love to see this ceramic conversation starter filled with white peonies and placed on that marble coffee table. It’s a great vase or you can leave it empty and use it like a tabletop sculpture.

Known well around San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood, artist Michael di Cosola (1929-2010) created psychedelic, surrealist portraits and abstractions. This original piece in graphite on paper is a shining example, and one that embraces that high contrast look you’re going for.

This small African Senufo milk stool would look gorgeous with a tall vase filled with greenery or potted plant placed on top. A glimpse at excellent craftsmanship, this stool is carved from just one piece of wood.
