Fayetteville couple brings the coast inland

Jason and Bethany Jones bought their Trilith home in 2018. They were drawn to the light, airy space, in which they saw the opportunity to bring in clean neutrals and coastal vibes. The large windows that line the common area allow a flood of natural light into the room, and walls painted in Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray create a neutral base for their décor.

The dining nook of Bethany and Jason Jones’ Fayetteville home is chic and bright, with a wall of windows looking out over their covered front porch. A table from Article, chairs from West Elm and an area rug from Crate & Barrel create a layered, textured look with warm woods and cool neutrals.

Jason and Bethany Jones used to have a modern, angular chandelier in their dining nook, but when Bethany found the natural capiz shell chandelier at West Elm she knew it would be a better fit for the space. The shells diffuse warm light, creating a cozy glow, and the fact that it’s made of shells brings in an element of the coast without feeling kitschy. Text by Shannon Dominy/Photo by Reynolds Rogers

The owners’ suite in Bethany and Jason Jones’ Trilith home is on the main floor, which was one of the things that originally attracted the couple to their house.

These hints of natural material give the space a touch of coastal vibes without creating a beach house style. Text by Shannon Dominy/Photo by Reynolds Rogers

On one end of their bedroom, Jason and Bethany Jones have a sitting corner with an accent chair from Wayfair and botanical art from Etsy and Minted.

Bethany Jones started her design firm, Bethany Jones Interiors, just over a year ago. In the course of the last year, when she decided that she needed to expand her team, she decided to create a studio workspace for her team to gather, brainstorm and spread out materials to form their designs. A table from Leyland Blue and green accent chairs from Target give the firm room to work and meet, and a patterned area rug from Ruggable grounds the space.

Jason and Bethany Jones were immediately attracted to their Trilith home because it reminded them of the white mission style homes near where they were married, on Alys Beach, Florida. They love to vacation along Florida 30A, so coastal style is a large part of their personal style.

“The home just reminded us of one of our favorite places,” said Bethany. “We were so excited about the exterior.”

The couple crafted a bright, light space, emphasizing the plentiful windows in the common area and adding hints of natural materials to create a neutral but warm home.

“My husband and I both are very drawn to white, airy and clean,” said Bethany. “We like for the foundation to be this very clean neutral color palette, and then we kind of Infuse texture and color with more of the accessories, like artwork and pillows, more like the jewelry.”

Just over a year ago Bethany began her own design firm, Bethany Jones Interiors, and working more hands-on with interior décor has given her the confidence to take more risks when it comes to design in her own life.

“I feel like it’s just opened my mind up to stepping outside my comfort zone,” she said. “Knowing that pretty much anything, you can change. It can be undone.”
