From art to vintage, the Hamptons is the place to shop decor—designer Joan Enger’s home is proof.

“The goal was to create an environment that felt lived-in and collected,” shares Joan Enger of her Amagansett vacation home. And the designer didn’t have to travel far to ace that brief. Here, Enger, who is launching her own vintage shop, Galleri JP, this winter, shares her local treasure map.

Russ is one of the most knowledgeable dealers out East. His gallery has an extensive collection of artworks, many by Hamptons artists, as well as ceramics, accessories and furnishings.
