Luxury Interior Designer on Long Island, NY
Interior design for shingle-style estates, historic saltboxes, and modern beach houses in East Hampton and across the South Fork.
Robyn Baumgarten has spent more than 25 years shaping rooms across Long Island. Her work has been featured in House, Distinction, Fashion Manuscript, Newsday, and the Long Island Press. She runs her studio in Plainview and brings that same eye east to East Hampton.
Life out here runs on ocean light. Robyn builds airy, sun-washed rooms that echo the dunes, the ponds, and the open farm fields. She leans on soft, natural colors so a home feels calm from spring through the fall.
The sea is hard on a house, so she plans for it. Robyn picks marine-grade hardware, teak, and stone, plus fabrics made to take salt and strong sun. Through her trade network of over 150 makers, she finds pieces and art you will not see in any showroom.
East Hampton holds some of the oldest homes in New York, settled all the way back in 1648. Robyn treats that history with respect. She walks the whole house, studies the light, and learns how you live before she changes a thing.
Saltboxes, gambrels, and grand shingle-style estates each ask for a different hand. Robyn keeps the beams, trim, and old woodwork that give these homes their character. Then she reworks the kitchen, bath, and flow so daily life feels easy.
She stays close through the whole build. Robyn lines up the trades, holds the schedule, and checks each finish herself. You end up with a home that feels relaxed and looks right under the Hamptons sky.

Robyn guides the whole project, from the first sketch to the last cushion. She plans, sources, and installs every room of your East Hampton home.
Old saltboxes and shingled homes need a gentle hand. We keep the beams, trim, and wide-plank floors, then make the house comfortable for now.
We design kitchens and baths that shrug off salt air. Think honed stone, solid hardware, and tile that still looks fresh after a long season.
Robyn manages design and construction under one roof. On a large estate, that keeps the timeline tight and the budget clear.

Robyn meets you at your East Hampton home. She learns how you live, how you host, and what the house needs.
She maps the rooms with floor plans, sample boards, and 3D views. You picture the whole home before a single order goes out.
She pulls fabric, furniture, and art from her trade network, leaning on coastal-grade materials that age well.
Her team sets every piece and styles each room, so the house is finished before your first weekend of the season.
"Robyn understood our beach house right away. She picked fabrics that handle sand and sun, and the rooms still feel elegant."
"She restored our old saltbox with real care. The history is still there, but the house finally works for our family."
"Robyn had the whole home furnished before summer. We walked in and it was ready. Every detail was right."
We design homes near the Village Green and Hook Mill, out along the Georgica and Main Beach dunes, and all the way to Montauk Point. We also work throughout the towns below.
Yes. We work on saltboxes and shingled homes near the Village Green and Hook Mill. We protect the original beams, trim, and floors, then update the kitchen, bath, and layout for daily life.
We plan for the ocean from the start. Marine-grade hardware, natural stone, teak, and performance fabrics take the salt and sun, yet the rooms still feel soft and easy.
No two homes are alike, so the price follows the work. On the first visit, Robyn walks through scope and budget in plain words. You will see the numbers before any work begins.
