There is no denying that the East Coast does charm very well. The Hamptons seem to boast some of the most amazing getaway homes imaginable. This one featured in Traditional Home is no exception. Designed by Skye Kirby, it is breathtakingly calm and understated. It is gorgeous. The couple who resides here is artistic and loves to create. What a dreamy place to find inspiration. And following the images, I have included Skye’s design must haves.
Skye Kirby’s 10 “must-have” body + soul elements
Soft color
Heathery grays, blues, golds, and whites–in the Hamptons, these colors come naturally from the landscape and the ocean.
Comfortable seating and ottomans
When you want to cuddle up and relax, you always need a place to put up your feet.
A clutter-free zone
I am a believer that less is more. Over-accessorizing can take away from the calming nature of a room and become distracting.
Books
Whether to read, to escape into, to inspire, or just to look good.
Tunes
There should always be a good source of music to set the mood and create relaxation.
Throws
I’m a big believer in having a throw in every room to wrap yourself in–preferably while enjoying that good cup of coffee or tea.
A view
Orient your space to the best view. If you don’t have a view, create one with original art or photography of the things you love.
Light and candles
Always maximize natural light. Ambient light can also effectively create a mood, if done with thought. And don’t forget the candles.
Flowing fabrics
I love flowing panels. When the windows are open, the breeze creates a rippling that is not unlike the water.
Creative space
Create a space for whatever your pleasure is, a place that’s totally dedicated to your creative outlet

Perfect eye candy to start my Friday. I really wish I owned a House in the Hamptons or could even rent one! Have a great weekend Courtney!
Wow- gorgeous home! I love the coral and driftwood. It's a perfect hamptons retreat! 🙂 Happy Weekend!
Beautiful home. Love the little bistro set!! Have a great weekend.
Really beautiful! I just love the lines of the exterior of the home. Stunning!
So absolutely lovely…that big, poufy upholstered bed is divine!!! I love this color palette for a beach home, so perfect! Have a great weekend my dear!
Beautiful! I love her "must-haves". The color palette throughout the house is so soft and effortless looking, but absolutely wonderful.
Beautiful! I'm with Skye on her must-haves. I love to have the windows open and the breeze blowing the curtains. Lovely, soft, peaceful colors she's used throughout. Happy weekend to you, Courtney!
Love that serene palette! A beautiful retreat…..
Hope you have a great weekend, Courtney!
I'm in love with that office space! Happy Weekend, girl!
Lovely pics, and great tips. Her outfit, however, is quite unfortunate. I'm sure there's a cute little body hidden under there somewhere??
What an exquisite home!
Simply breathtaking…
thanks for sharing this 🙂
