This gallery showcases a relaxed, beautiful home in Bluffton, South Carolina renovated with the help of interior design firm Linda McDougald Design | Postcard from Paris Home.

This unassuming, welcoming home sits in one of the most pristine and preserved places in the country, Palmetto Bluff.

This area was created by Charlotte-based Crescent Resources to allow the topography of the land, including marshes, wetlands and the May River, to dictate how and where homes and trails are created.

By thoroughly respecting the environment, the development remains surrounded by an unspoiled ecosystem full of wildlife and native vegetation. The naturally rich beauty of this area creates an exceptional space to call home.

This house lives in perfect harmony with its environment. With 4,000 square feet, including four bedrooms, four and one-half baths, and a surfeit of windows gazing in every direction, the home inhabits its lush surroundings with style and purpose.

Curb view of a beautiful southern home in Bluffton, South Carolina by Linda McDougald Design.

Classical front porch guarded by white pillars, featuring full dining set and mixture of potted flowers throughout. The lush jungle-like surroundings embrace the home.

Front door is welcoming, with surrounding windows, a feature prominent throughout the home. Natural light and gorgeous views are a major part of the appeal.

Main hallway is decked out in rich, dark natural hardwood, with light beige and white walls for subtle appearance, giving way to the natural beauty around.

Elaborately detailed living room spikes the dominant neutral tones with rich natural wood in a variety of shades, including large carved dining table. Natural wood French doors with white window frames circle the space.

The kitchen features a sprawling island in white with black countertop, featuring built-in range, sink, and space for seating. Stainless steel and glass standalone shelving sits on countertop.

White wood cabinetry and black countertops define the kitchen as much as the ubiquitous windows wrapping around, providing ample sunlight and views.

Upper cupboards feature glass panel doors, hanging above the black countertops and white tile backsplash.

Primary bedroom, with dark hardwood flooring beneath white vaulted ceiling, features French doors opening onto a screened porch, affording views of the May River, pond, palm trees and greenery.
