Inside Meg Braff's Locust Valley, NY Home

Nestled on a sprawling lot in the leafy Long Island town of Locust Valley, New York, interior designer Meg Braff’s gracious home bears little resemblance to the 1950s ranch-style house that originally sat on the property when she purchased it. After a three-year renovation process-including a year of planning and two years of construction-the only things remaining from the original structure are the general footprint and the paneling in the living room, which Braff lacquered in her favorite color: green.
Her reward for such a herculean effort? A warm, elegant family home for Braff, her husband, and four sons that’s perfect for entertaining. Its welcoming energy is achieved by balancing saturated colors and calmer tones: Mixing patterns within a palette of blues, corals, ivories, and greens, Braff creates a unifying thread that ties each space to the next, from the formal dining room (where an antique crystal chandelier hangs alongside playful chartreuse pelmets and curtains) to the primary bedroom (which Braff covered in Miles Redd’s Brighton Pavilion chinoiserie panels for Schumacher, creating a glorious turquoise cocoon).
Outside, Braff laid out her gardens to create a meandering feel, with retaining walls that help create transitions between different sections. The addition of a 60-foot-long terrace, a pagoda, and a rose-covered arbor by the pool creates an oasis that reflects Braff’s vibrant style and vivacious personality-and best of all, has more than enough room to host everything from summer barbecues to dinner parties for 30!

If I had money I would pick Meg Braff's to decorate it. I love the colors, patterns, never have I seen such a beautiful, decorated home. Absolutely stunning.

I’m a friend of Meg’s - her home is lovely, and she is super nice (plus, great taste)! 💕🥂🍀

Glad to know good taste and design is still a live,the green paneling is Stungingly elegant.

[@maureenclothier9468]

I love her home. I wish the video was longer, so we could see every room and all the details.

[@Schumacher1889]

Be sure to check out her rapid fire questions video!

[@annsmith7207]

I grew up here and so, so fortunate! The very old trees are so lush and everything about the environment is stunning. I hope Meg and her family have many, many happy years in their lovely home.

[@meganemcnally2069]

In that actual home? How cool ❤

[@annsmith7207]

@@meganemcnally2069 : Yes, that is her home! Many homes of similar size and then true mansions -- not the McMansions of today -- the real deal and breathtaking!

[@oscarchagoya5985]

I have watched this show 4 times. Every inch of this home screams good taste.

[@Schumacher1889]

We are so happy that you love it as much as we do!!

[@TheFairwinds1]

[@jennimoyer4857]

I could easily watch two hours of the gracious and talented Meg Braff give a tour of her charming and gorgeously appointed home. ❤❤❤

[@deborahfolkes9607]

Me too! She is not only an incredibly talented designer but also speaks so eloquently and exudes grace! I love her style and the colours she has chosen for her home are sublime! Hoping for another video of her kitchen, baths & bedrooms!

[@ginafriend1690]

No doubt, Green is Megs Favorite color. The Damask subtle green wallpaper is "beautiful" as is the rest of her home! We must Love our own Homes we live in, no doubt!

[@lisatague305]

[@pman2916]

For the first time, I don't mind this tone green. Elegantly done! Wish we could see more of her home.

I love seeing a house that shares my favorite colors! Very beautiful and calming palette.

[@gwenewing6837]

Oh wow! Gorgeous! So nice to see how much Meg loves her home! It tickled me when she said green was her favorite color ☺❤

[@SJ-bi9wu]

Wow just stunning! And I love the stair rail. It's perfect and timeless. Well done.

[@okicherven]

I like this idea so much 💚 It is a very beautiful and cozy house 😊

[@OhSoLovingly]

I adore green, too, Meg! I agree! Clear & pure colors have a better energy. I adore your Venetian plaster living room… stunning. I love the idea of making two living rooms within one room by arranging the furniture into 2 seating areas. Also, the ivy growing up the house is 💕

[@Schumacher1889]

Meg Braff has got it all going on!!

[@highwaistedcookie7606]

This is beyond gorgeous - oh my goodness. It brings a smile to my face :)

[@eternity-minded]

Gorgeous home! So cheerful and lovely! Color really makes the difference! The garden was beautiful as well!

[@waltonbone6038]

Really beautiful. Love the color combinations. Great job.

[@JLOinthecity]

She seems so nice and lovely - like a lady I have probably encountered in Bergdorf's just doing a little shopping and browsing alongside of me. She achieved what she wanted - the house being a part of her, with a soft and pretty color palette.

[@sandysmom100]

Love all the colors Meg uses ik her home ! I can’t not stand all white or beige homes ! Color is life !!

[@Robin-no8cu]

I’m absolutely with her on clarity of color! It cheers my soul!😊

Love it , but the music is far from background ! Kills the whole experience !

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

I could give her a hundred grand and let her decorate any room for me. I love decorating myself, but her taste is so similar to mine.

[@Julia-fg2nm]

I wonder what her favourite colour is
