Hamptons Designer Showhouse Caumset: Historic Elegance Meets Coastal Whimsy

Proving that the "past is prologue," Lori Miller and LGC Interiors brought their signature "sophisticated whimsy" approach to this vibrant guest suite for the prestigious Hamptons Designer Showhouse Caumsett. This thoughtfully curated space demonstrates how historically significant homes can embrace color and personality while honoring their architectural heritage.

Working within the framework of the estate's rich historical details, Lori wrapped the walls with colorful silk grasscloth from Wallquest and luxurious textiles from Anna French Fabrics while meticulously preserving the home's original architectural detailing. This delicate balance between respect for history and contemporary design sensibility creates a space that feels both timeless and refreshingly current.

With a playful color palette directly inspired by the property's adjacent pond, calming hues of blues and greens flow throughout the suite, creating a visual connection to the natural landscape beyond the windows. These serene tones are thoughtfully offset by bright florals from Diane James Home, soft textures from TL Linens, and whimsical coastal-inspired accessories that nod to Long Island's rich maritime heritage.

Throughout the multi-room space, carefully selected furnishings from Universal Furniture provide comfortable elegance, while spectacular lighting fixtures from Hudson Valley Lighting and Currey & Co add dramatic visual interest and create layers of ambient illumination. A plush area rug from Nourison anchors the space, while custom window treatments fabricated with Kirsch Drapery Rods frame the picturesque views.

Each design element contributes to an atmosphere of refined tranquility—a guest retreat that balances vibrant personality with the serenity necessary for true relaxation. The result is a sophisticated yet approachable space that appeals to guests of all ages while demonstrating LGC Interiors' expertise in blending historical reverence with contemporary comfort.
