Why Your Vacation Home Deserves a Designer (And Not Just Any Designer)
Picture this: It’s late June. You’ve just arrived at your Nantucket summer home after a chaotic week in the city. You walk in... and everything is exactly as it should be. The wine is chilling, the custom sofa is angled for the sunset, and your only to-do is deciding between lobster or oysters for dinner.
This is the magic of working with a luxury interior designer who knows vacation homes inside and out—and it doesn’t happen by accident.
Designing a Vacation Home Is Not a DIY Moment
Let's stop pretending it is.
Vacation properties aren’t just “another house.” They’re sacred spaces—where your family resets, reconnects, and hosts the kind of memories that end up in photo albums (or, let’s be honest, framed on the kitchen gallery wall).
And yet, too many homeowners approach second homes like a side project: something to “figure out later” or patch together with leftover furniture and a Pinterest board. The result? A space that never quite functions, flows, or feels finished.
Hiring a designer—the right designer—isn’t a luxury. It’s essential.
Why House of Huck Is Built for This
At House of Huck, we specialize in full-service, white-glove vacation home design in Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Newport RI, and other coveted coastal enclaves. We handle it all—so you can just show up.
From concept to completion, we manage every detail: custom furnishings, millwork, outdoor entertaining areas, even your beach towel storage. Our deeply strategic approach ensures that your vacation home isn’t just beautiful—it’s built to perform under the real-life pressures of sandy feet, cocktail hour, and revolving weekend guests.
And because we only take on a limited number of clients, you get our full attention. Your home becomes our home (temporarily). Your project becomes our obsession (respectfully).
More Than Pretty—It’s Practical, Too
Vacation homes have unique needs: dual-purpose guest rooms, bunk rooms that sleep a crowd, hidden storage, durable finishes that still feel elevated. We think about everything—so you don’t have to second-guess every decision from 150 miles away.
Working with House of Huck means more than good taste. It means smart taste, backed by construction experience, vendor relationships, and a well-oiled process that keeps your build or renovation on track and on brand.
Let’s Make It Effortless
Whether your home is a ground-up new build on Martha’s Vineyard or a century-old charmer in Newport, we’re here to transform it into your family’s favorite place to be—with minimal stress and maximum champagne-worthy moments.
