Southampton, Private Home

The brief was a summer house that actually felt like one — a serene coastal make-over for a family who wanted their Southampton house to meet the light instead of shutting it out.

Here, the work started underfoot. Dark espresso floors were lifted throughout; new oak was laid in the family room to match the rest of the house. Dark walls were traded for soft grays and coastal blues. The architecture was not rebuilt, only uncovered. We worked with washed linen, pale oak, undyed wool, and unfinished metal — a short list, repeated from room to room. Each material chosen to wear in with salt air, sand, and full summer light.

The family room centers on two sand-colored sofas dressed with linen pillows and a rope lounge chair. A raw wood and iron coffee table anchors the arrangement; a natural wool striped rug underneath adds warmth without weight. Every piece earns its place through wear, not show.

Between the family and living rooms, a custom round oak table on a black metal pedestal creates flow. A pebble glass pendant hangs above — chosen for its transparency, keeping the connecting space open. A hand-thrown bowl from Bracken Fern Studio sits at the center, its form echoing a painting on the adjacent wall by Connecticut artist Allison Meyler.

The kitchen follows the same quiet logic. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in a soft duck-egg tone — shaker below, glass above, the wall kept light throughout.

In the living room, texture carries more weight than color. The owners' taupe velvet sofa is joined by a mid-century linen chair and a slim natural-wood coffee table. Against the wall, a whitewashed console sits beneath a sunburst mirror; on the floor beside it, a Janus & Cie sculptural wood candle holder.

The primary bedroom is built around calm: blush walls against pale oak, a hide-and-wood lounge chair, tall glass bedside table lamps that keep the space from feeling closed in.

Kids bedroom with built in storage bed, mustard bedding, sunflower pillows, and sculptural ceramic lamp in a Southampton NY home by Ginger Lemon Indigo

The children's rooms carry their own character, mustard bedding and a warm-toned lamp in one corner, bold wallpaper and bouclé chairs in the teen nook, without losing the thread of the house.
