KD Hamptons | August 2015
KDHamptons catches up with stunning interior designer and Quogue resident, Jen Going, in a NEW KDHamptons Design Diary. “I’ve spent every summer of my life in Quogue. I love the quiet, ‘one horse town’ feel of the village,” Jen shares. Adding, “My kids Garrett (15), and Paige (11) are now enjoying a very similar childhood that my husband Garrett and I experienced, which makes me so happy. Many of their friends are the children of the friends that we grew up with out here, and I love seeing them all hang out together.”
Jen Going: More than anything, a home needs to reflect the personality of the homeowner. The purpose of interior design is to examine the possibilities and create a space that is functional and beautiful, while remaining true to the clients objective. A fabulous room can also be kid friendly, a dining room can double as a library, and a center hall can become so much more than a walk-through space.
Jen: I am very careful with trends. I tend to keep the bones of a project classic and timeless, using modern elements to keep things current and interesting. I love an extremely modern light fixture in an otherwise traditional room, or a rustic dining table in a sleek and modern space.
