Malibu homes are known for their stylin' facades, futuristic garage doors, cool lighting, and ambiance with the surrounding environment. Infinity pools dot the horizon, and there is always a lot of interesting post-modernist looks. Much more edgy than the rich neighborhoods of, say, the East Coast. Much more hip. They jive with the vibe of the beach and the glory of the sun set out on the western horizon. Palm trees sway, rosebushes flower and die and flower again, and homes are sometimes built just as large glass boxes- to blend seamlessly in with the silicone valley esque landscape.
And the Malibu atmosphere can be an exciting thing, too. The particles and powders of the santa ana winds whip through the seashore streets, sprinting the last few desperate meters of its manifest destiny to the wild sunset. Across the sandy beach, through the salty waves, and swirl viciously out to sea, surging out to meet the dying blood-orange sun as it collapses over the horizon and turns the Pacific into an ocean of speckled hot hues.
Dusk settles over the coast, dry and powdery. Mustard fades to an apocalyptic violet gray. And the wind dies down, dies down into little eddies in the dunes, little whips of salt spray along the shore.
All of the soft, dusky colors go well with sharp, bold themes for homes and garage doors. Inventive and dramatic lighting, strong rectangles, and lots of silver, white, and black. Glass is key here: garage doors with clear cut glass or frosted glass are a must.
So even if you don't live in Malibu now, you can get on board with this chic, futuristic style as long as you pull it off with finesse and boldness. Don't be afraid to go all modernist, if your house is the type that can handle it. Don't play it safe!
