Steal This Look: A Beach-Ready Scandi Entryway

Not long ago, we wrote about a modest beach cottage on Martha’s Vineyard that went from “Bad Seventies” to “Good Seventies,” thanks to New York interior designer Ellen Hamilton, who brought it more in line with the tastes of the homeowner, who has “a real affection for anything Scandinavian,” she says. Because it serves as the guest cottage to a much larger house next door, this space didn’t require much in the way of storage—there’s a walk-in closet in the bedroom and a small basement with kayaks and beach gear—but a functional entryway for guests, who come in and out of the cottage all day long, was a must. Let’s dissect the look:
