Sag Harbor Summer Home — Creating a Coastal Outdoor Oasis

When summer arrives, there’s nothing quite like retreating to a timeless East Coast hideaway—and Sag Harbor’s design aesthetic delivers exactly that: breezy, elevated, and effortlessly relaxed. Whether you're styling your vacation home or reimagining your backyard, this look channels coastal charm and classic comfort with a designer’s eye.

At Mackenzie Collier Interiors, we believe that great outdoor design balances form, function, and longevity. This Sag Harbor-inspired collection from our LTK board is curated to bring relaxed East Coast elegance to your summer spaces.

What Defines the Sag Harbor Outdoor Look?

This design approach blends refined coastal elements with timeless architecture. Think:

  • Nautical-inspired palettes of navy, linen, and driftwood

  • Wicker, teak, and aged brass for a touch of warmth and heritage

  • Layered natural textures and high-performance outdoor fabrics

  • Clean lines, soft edges, and an overall sense of calm

Adapting Coastal Style for the Southwest

Bringing an East Coast look to a desert climate like Phoenix requires thoughtful adjustments:

  • Use synthetic wicker or powder-coated aluminum for durability

  • Select fade-resistant fabrics that still feel light and breezy

  • Incorporate shade with umbrellas, pergolas, or awnings

  • Replace traditional coastal plants with desert-friendly containers like lavender, rosemary, and potted citrus
