About Shea Smith Design
A Hamptons Interior Design Studio Rooted in Livable Luxury
Shea Smith Design is an East Hampton–based interior design studio creating livable, luxurious homes inspired by the natural beauty of coastal New York. Our work blends refined simplicity, thoughtful functionality, and quiet sophistication, producing interiors that feel calm, effortless, and deeply personal.
Every project begins with connection. We take time to understand your lifestyle, your aesthetic, and the way you want your home to feel day to day. That insight becomes the foundation for interiors that reflect the rhythm of Hamptons living, spaces shaped by light, texture, and a sense of unhurried elegance.
Our Design Philosophy
Timeless design shaped by coastal living
Our philosophy centers on livable luxury: interiors that are beautiful, functional, and grounded in natural materials.
We believe a well-designed home should feel warm and inviting, never overdone. Through:
-
Layered textures
-
Balanced color palettes
-
Purposeful details
-
Thoughtful spatial flow
…we create environments that support real life while offering a sense of calm and clarity.
Inspired by the coastline, our designs incorporate organic finishes, soft neutrals, and tactile elements that age beautifully over time. Whether modern, transitional, or classic Hamptons, each space is shaped with intention.

Furnishings & Styling
We design or source custom furnishings, textiles, art, and accessories that bring depth and personality to each room.

We manage final coordination, oversee installation, and style the space with a refined yet lived-in touch.
Throughout the entire journey, we collaborate closely with local builders, architects, and artisans to ensure design intent is brought to life with precision and care.
Inspired by Hamptons Living
Spaces shaped by sunlight, texture, and quiet sophistication
The Hamptons environment is at the heart of our work. We draw inspiration from the coastline’s muted palettes, natural textures, and laid-back elegance.
From Sag Harbor cottages to Montauk beach homes, we create interiors that feel both elevated and welcoming—homes that invite rest, connection, and everyday enjoyment.
Collaboration & Craftsmanship

Design is a collective effort, and our studio thrives on collaboration.

These relationships enable us to deliver a seamless process, exceptional craftsmanship, and spaces that honor both your vision and the architectural integrity of your home.

Your home is a reflection of your life—how you gather, rest, and move through each day.
