Jenni Kayne has redefined modern farmhouse living with her distinctive style that blends comfort, aesthetics, and wellness. Known for her cozy homeware and holistic wellness line, Oak Essentials, Kayne brings her signature approach to the Hudson Valley. Her latest project, a four-bedroom house in Tivoli, New York, opened last summer as an exclusive country retreat. This invitation-only escape showcases Kayne’s talent for combining contemporary style with vintage charm, creating inviting spaces that beckon relaxation and rejuvenation.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Designer: Jenni Kayne
Location: Tivoli, New York
Wellness Line: Oak Essentials
Furniture: Trestle Dining Table, Sunset Dining Chairs
Paint: Portola Paints’s Roman Clay
Tile Designer: Aviva Halter
At the heart of the property is the great room, an expansive space centered around a vintage wood-burning fireplace. The room features Kayne’s own sofa in a striking red linen complemented by touches of burlwood and artifacts from Galerie Provenance. An Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni pendant light adds an eye-catching element over the dining area, which includes Kayne’s Trestle Dining Table and Sunset Dining Chairs. The space is enveloped in the neutral tones of Portola Paints’s Roman Clay, emphasizing warmth and cohesion.
The kitchen is a perfect example of Kayne’s meticulous attention to detail. It features a custom tile backsplash designed by Aviva Halter that serves as a focal point, adding depth and texture to the room. Sun Valley Bronze knobs and pulls, along with Waterworks fixtures, underscore the sophisticated yet functional design. Custom window treatments by WOVN Home ensure a seamless aesthetic flow throughout the property, extending into the bedrooms with matching coverlets and upholstery to deliver a cohesive look.
The primary bedroom continues the theme of subtle elegance with custom window treatments and luxurious bedding by WOVN Home. These thoughtful details create a sanctuary-like atmosphere, seamlessly integrating with the home’s overall design. Kayne believes in balancing materials and textures, using art to introduce pops of color without overwhelming the senses. This philosophy ensures a restful environment where guests can recharge in understated luxury.
Outside, the extensive grounds are tailored for relaxation and wellness. Carefully curated areas such as a sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub are strategically positioned to enhance the natural surroundings’ therapeutic benefits. The property’s standout feature, the Oak Essentials Wellness Club housed within a greenhouse, offers a serene space for treatments, extending the home’s holistic approach to health and well-being beyond its doors.
Kayne’s Tivoli project exemplifies more than just aesthetics; it represents a lifestyle that prioritizes holistic wellness and thoughtful design. With spaces that seamlessly blend comfort, style, and functionality, the retreat invites guests to experience the tranquility and simplicity of countryside living without compromising on luxury. Through her sophisticated curation of interiors and exteriors, Kayne continues to prove that no one does modern farmhouse like she does, offering an enticing glimpse into a life where every detail is considered integral to the whole.
