Some shops are grave-and-go spots. However, others are inspiration centers that transmit all the arrivals with their curated goods and trigger a complete design movement. Nantucket Looms is one of these transformative areas. The weaving studio, founded by Bill Euler and Andrew Oates in 1968, which was founded in 1968 by Bill Euler and Andrew Oates, quickly developed into a busy boutique (Jackie Kennedy Onassis was founded by Bill Euler and Andrew Oates, quickly developed into a busy boutique (Jackie Kennedy onassis.
Nantucket tooms: a legacy of the style
When Euler and Oates retired, she handed over the reins to her most trustworthy employee, shop manager and in -house Tastenaker Liz Winship, who had worked with the duo for more than 40 years. Winship further expanded the business to a recognized interior design studio. When it was his turn to retire, Winship let her daughter Bess Clarke – responsible to bring the homes space to the digital world – and two long -time employees, the main designer Stephanie Hall and the master Weaver Rebecca Peraner to steer the ship. You can read everything about the legacy and transformation of this American treasure and record some of his breathtaking design projects in the new book Nantucket threatens.
“It is such a great homage to everyone who was part of our history,” says Clarke. “I really hope that people see a Nantucket side that is a little more difficult to find these days.” Read on to explore the third home hall and the Nantucket Looms team designed and discovered a little of the magic of the business.

For many design customers from Nantucket Looms, the island is its second home. “You really want to feel like in Nantucket and nowhere else,” says Hall. One possibility of how the designer authentically delivers the coastal aesthetics is to integrate different shades of blue. “The reflective light here on Nantucket because we have so much water and are surrounded by the ocean is so beautiful,” she says. “On a certain day, the water can be blue or blue -green when the sun runs out and the sky is light blue. These are the colors you feel about.
In order to complement the dramatic scale of the living room, an arrangement of sofas and modern Wingback chairs is anchored by two coffee tables that are reported with books and decorative objects that relate to nantuckets seafaring history.
The sculptural chandelier is inspired by fishing boats with blown glass and consists of hand injured glass bubbles that are tied together with knotted rope. “I just love this piece so much,” says Hall. “It is a little nautical without making a red, white and blue thing.”
A room for playing and building puzzles, which was surrounded by a table surrounded by four padded chairs, was created next to the living room. A painting by Adam Umbach hangs in the background.
“Our customers have two teen daughters, so this is a room for the children to gather from their parents,” explains Hall. To keep things funny and cozy, she brought a few red pops with hand -woven blankets from Nantucket -Webstuhl. Anchoring the room are a large white sections sofa with bank pillows and two oversized white swivel chairs, all of which are covered with high -performance fabrics. Silk cushions are turned the finishing touch. A painting by Megan Hinton is displayed on the coffee table.
“For me, a room is not yet completed when art is hung on the walls,” says Hall. For its internal projects, the team mixes the customer collection with art and decor on site and from Nantucket Looms. “We represent over 70 local artists,” she says. There are two paintings by Kenneth Layman on the bar here, and a painting by Julija Mostykanova hangs nearby. The comfortable blue armchairs are padded by Peter Dunham in the fabric.
Rustic vintage finials, which are adapted by two contemporary rattan crown candles, give the double-peedal dining table. A reproduction of a French handkerchief planter is filled with ferns to lighten the room.
The homeowners are big on wallpaper, but instead of becoming wild with printers and patterns, Hall followed a more subtle approach and played with texture on the walls. “There is a large living room that we use for our customers' office,” she explains. To define every room, but maintain the river, Hall used two different types of structured wallpaper. Another reason why Hall and their team use structured wallpaper is to give warmth and cosiness. “Some of the rooms were pretty cave -like,” she says.
A large number of other textures can also be seen in the bedroom. Rope handles beautify the chest of the drawers and the lamps are white -washed pastures. The bed has a tufted linen headboard with euro pillow in a Bouclé fabric. A cashmere draft with Kelpgrün that is draped over the king-size bed. In order to maintain the consistency between the two rooms, she used the same painted rattan lights.
From the most white walls of the house, a leaf stool wallpaper was selected so that this dressing room stands out. Covering the walls and the ceiling is a clever design trick for a room that does not get a natural light. The beautiful Schumacher paper adds dimension and makes the room lighter and larger. An oversized padded bank in a joyful fabric was selected to bring character into the room.
“Customers love modern, very colorful art and we tried to make the pieces of the show,” says Hall. “We kept the walls very white and many of the furniture very neutral so that they can include really strong statements from their works of art.” Barbara Clarkes Photo Seafoam Add the room over a padded white linen bed with dark blue worlds in the main house.
