The Two Faces of Hamptons Design Through the Eyes of One Designer
There are two very distinctive architectural styles in the Hamptons. First came the quintessential grey shake shingle siding, rough wood shake roof shingles and pitched roof lines dotted with dormers. These outdoor spaces are typically furnished with classic teak and wicker furnishings with either neutral color schemes and garden style decor or decidedly nautical color schemes and décor Then came the new look of the Hamptons – the sleek, flat roof, floor to ceiling window, mostly stark white modern homes. These outdoor spaces are typically furnished with very contemporary metal or molded plastic furnishing in monochromatic color schemes and minimal to non-existent décor. The two looks could not be further apart on the design spectrum yet they both epitomize the Hampton look. We think designer David Scott works beautifully in both design vernaculars.
For nearly 20 years, David has served as the Principal and founder of his New York based design firm, David Scott Interiors. His signature designs emphasize the personal style of his clients and his projects have been widely published in Architectural Digest, The New York Times, Gothan, The New York Observer, Interior Design, Hamptons Magazine and HGTV.com.
