For Ellen Hamilton, it’s more about her process than her decorating style. With each interior, she draws out the personality of her client with a grouping of their personal treasures as well as new discoveries that she uncovers for them. Then she assembles these distinctive finds in a space that grants them the enviable illusion of being accumulated over time.
“The minimalism and graphic nature of this painting by Svenja Deininger would be perfect inside a dilapidated cottage in Sag Harbor, where a really cool collector or artist surrounds themselves with an eccentric mix,” says Hamilton
