New York Country Home With a SoCal Vibe

Prior to moving to Sands Point, NY, the homeowners lived in Southern California and were influenced by the architecture of this region. SoCal is known for its unique blend of styles, which often combines elements of traditional Spanish architecture with more contemporary clean lines. Designers worked to create a space where the two counterparts are woven throughout the entire home.

This property is located in Sands Point, New York, about 30 minutes from New York City. Adjacent to a farm for retired horses as well as a nature preserve (and not far from the beach), the home and its grounds are a restorative retreat for the owners.

Neutral Contemporary Foyer With Red Rug

The artful styling of the foyer could easily be a still life painting. Handpicked, sculptural objects decorate a slim console table along one wall. And a rich red rug exudes warmth.

This mudroom feels deeply distinguished with its cabinetry in dramatic blue black. The dark shade pairs handsomely with the floor's light tan brick. And plenty of cubbies and cabinets keep clutter to a minimum in the narrow space.

Neutral Contemporary Bedroom With Wood Ceiling

A wood paneled ceiling is a beautiful touch of texture in this earth-toned bedroom. A shag rug is like a cloud underfoot and designers filled a niche alongside the fireplace with shelving for welcome storage and display space.

Sitting Area With Pink Unicorn

All ages will love curling up in the cozy reading corner. It's anchored by a soft, nubby chair. A basket is an attractive storage spot for books, toys and more. And a wooden side table feels earthy and organic.

Family Room With Blue Velvet Sectional

The ceiling's not high in this family room, but that doesn't matter given the plush, velvet sectional to lounge on. A nubby, pastel rug is a delight both to step on and look at.

Covered Patio With Outdoor Dining Table

This outdoor dining area is well shielded from the elements and yet it also gets wonderful views of the picturesque backyard. Throughout the home, designers used a combination of rift sawn oak, steel, reclaimed beams and concrete to create spaces that felt fresh and modern with clean lines.
