Continuing our celebration of fifteen years of rooms we love, we are revisiting a space that feels especially right as summer begins: the Living Room of a young family’s home in East Hampton, New York.
The inspiration for this room is rooted in Hyannis Port, where Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis spent her summers with the Kennedy family. There is a clarity to summer living by the sea — fresh air, blue skies, simple pleasures, and an unmistakable sense of Americana. That all-American spirit guided our creative process from the very beginning.
Our muse is Jackie herself. Few have defined all-American elegance so enduringly. Her style was classic and graceful, often built on a foundation of navy, white, and soft neutrals. She understood the power of restraint and repetition, and how a limited palette can feel endlessly sophisticated.
Jackie served as the inspiration for our new Monogram Collection with J. McLaughlin, launching June 22. The womenswear, menswear, and accessories collection includes navy and white stripes, punchy reds, and a garden floral print, all reflective of Jackie’s timeless, all-American point of view.
In East Hampton, the living room unfolds in shades of Swedish blue, navy, sky, and cream, creating a space that feels airy and serene. The design leans heavily into solids and windowpane patterns, repeated again and again to build rhythm and cohesion. The effect is graphic yet calm and easy, just as a summer home should feel.
A defining design approach in this space was the use of one pattern in many expressions. By taking a windowpane and varying its scale, texture, and orientation — applied in wool and linen, set on the bias or straight — we created a layered geometric story without ever becoming overwhelming. Our Frannie Windowpane from our Basics Collection with Schumacher did just the trick.
The result is a living room that feels clean, classic, and unmistakably American. A space that welcomes summer, and is grounded in tradition but designed for the rhythm of everyday life out East.
