With a layered mixture of traditional furniture, folk art, and antique industrial elements, the look of this Hamptons house may be best characterized as Country-Industrial chic. Designed for a family with young boys, the six-bedroom retreat favors a traditional style to compliment the home’s shingled, Colonial architecture; however, contemporary art, vintage and antique accessories enliven every room to create a more nuanced, sophisticated setting.

The Entry Hall, between the semi-formal Living and Dining rooms, sets the tone for the residence and reveals design themes used throughout.  An elegant Windsor bench lines the wall, accented by oversized antique lanterns on the floor and an assemblage of metal calipers hung above. The furniture and accessories play off the room’s traditional architectural details, including the crown molding, wainscoting, and wood banister.

Windsor and Shaker furniture pieces were embraced for their unadorned simplicity, functionality, and structural integrity—the nearest equivalents to modernist design within a traditional vocabulary. Meticulous assemblages of metal signs, drafting scales, 1920s French lamps, and other pieces reference a rural-industrial past that further bridges the Country and Modern styles and provides a weighty contrast to the home’s soft upholstery and fabrics.
