Steven Gambrel has been living every Interior Designer’s dream or perhaps it’s more appropriate to say every developer’s, architect’s and entrepreneur’s dream. According to Elle Decor Magazine, Gambrel has restored over six homes in Sag Harbor, New York, as a matter of fact the designer owns a home in the town as well. Enlisting Historical Concepts, a firm based in New York and Atlanta, Gambrel restores and preserves these homes to their original states of charisma while adding the modern touches of 21st-Century living. Steven Gambrel’s style with its inclination to masculine lines and strong contrasting characters, is one that can appeal to both sexes, especially families. One of his many elegant signatures is the use of a darker color paint on the inside moldings as well as on the kitchen cabinets trims. His interiors usually exhibit a unique color combination, as I pointed out in this post about Unusual Color Combination in Interiors some time back. Sag Harbor has been my favorite town in the Hamptons for its laid back bohemian vibe and also because it feels more like a beach town where you can walk. I can’t imagine how rewarding it must be to be able to buy, restore and sell or even live in one of Sag Harbor’s charming homes.
Steven Gambrel’s style can be found in many homes he has designed throughout the Hamptons and New York. His latest project recently featured in Elle Decor embodies his quintessential style in every room. The home was originally a farmhouse built in the 1840’s. The house was purchased by a couple with three daughters and after enlisting Interior designer Steven Gambrel the home is the perfect farmhouse for a modern family. The atmosphere throughout the home is cozy and elegant while still humble.
“The 18th-century schoolhouse wing is an important part of the history of the area, and I wanted to maintain its spirit.” Gambrel
