“Tangier meets Rio” was the inspiration for the loggia of Kelly Behun’s Long Island beach house, and in choosing furniture, she says, “the rule was that everything needed to pass the ‘bathing-suit test.’ If it didn’t feel good against bare skin, it didn’t make the cut!” Behun designed the table, made from hand-cut ceramic mosaic over a carved-cork base with an amorphous Macassar ebony top. She also outfitted the space with Moroccan pillows and textiles from a trip to Marrakech.

For her 1790 whaler’s cottage near Sag Harbor Village, Michelle R. Smith of Studio MRS went for a “granny nautical” look. In the dining room, a watercolor by Allison Maletz hangs over the mantel, flanked by vintage sconces from Olde Good Things. “There’s a nod to the nautical and subtle reminders of the beach in the swimmer painting, coral in the window and lack of floor covering,” she says. “But it’s still a place you would want to cozy up in winter, without the usual blue and white combos and rope details.”

“The mood here is vintage modern,” Gideon Mendelson of the Mendelson Group says of this Sagaponack dining room. A set of caned armchairs from Lorin Marsh surround the table and mobile lights by David Weeks deliver a sense of motion. “A combination of new and vintage pieces with a soft palette and hits of orange. It’s casual and informal but doesn’t sacrifice sophistication,” Mendelson says. “The old deli ads mounted on glass add a touch of whimsy.”

This kitchen in Southampton “takes full advantage of the simplistic beauty of the property being located right on the ocean,” says designer Mark Zeff. “The kitchen faces the bay, and the view from the windows is always green and gray in the winter, so we selected the chocolate cabinetry because it contrasted beautifully with the surroundings.”
