For several years the pair owned a retail showroom in Southampton, which sold custom creations and was the sole distributor of Sentimento Antiques in the Hamptons. After it shuttered its doors in December, many of its contents found a new home in the freshly converted abode, with its beach-toned palette of blues and grays accented with pops of orange. "We had a stable of favorite pieces that we knew we wanted to use in our own home," says Biscardi. "It was just a process of falling in love; we kept saying, 'I just love that piece.' When we started doing the house, we immediately knew where to put everything."

In the living room, a neutral abaca rug anchors a low-slung, comfortable sofa covered in raw silk, along with an Italian side table from the 1950s and a French bronze coffee table from the '20s. The dining room, too, features the couple's signature mix of periods and persuasions: a 19th-century English claw-foot table, a pair of 1940s Danish chairs, a 1970s John Widdicomb buffet and an oversize canvas similar in hue to the tan grass-cloth walls. "We thought originally that we wanted a loud, strong, colorful piece on that wall, but the one we really liked was by far the most subtle," says Brady, adding, "All designers, when doing their own homes, experiment and have fun."

In the den, a Brady Design custom sofa "is very low, very long, very deep; it's soft and springy, and you can lounge on it," says Brady. "It's probably our favorite thing to curl up on." A Scottish drugget by Elizabeth Eakins unfurls at its feet; with nail-head detail around the edges, "it's very masculine-looking," adds Biscardi. Windowpane upholstery on an armchair and cashmere drapes are among the many carefully curated fabrics that allow the home to transition with the seasons. "If a house is done well—if all the details are done right, then you don't need a big house," says Biscardi. "This place has a big-house feel—the grand kitchen, the top-of-the-line baths, the paneled walls. It can really shine, but it can also be comfortable."
