The Nantucket Study & Library

A handsome harbor-side study built around navy millwork, a warm wood writing desk and a deep tufted leather chair. Brass lighting, a working telescope, an island map and shelves of blue-spined books give it the collected feeling of a captain's library without turning nautical into a theme. The desk is styled in five — telescope, books, hydrangeas, compass and notebook — while a tailored rug and cocktail cart soften the room. Every desk, leather chair, rug, telescope, bar piece and masculine coastal accent is linked below.

Masculine Nantucket study with navy built-in bookcases, a warm wood writing desk, navy tufted leather chair, brass telescope and lamp, framed Nantucket map, blue and white porcelain, coastal books and a natural woven rug overlooking the harbor.
