 Tom Samet 

A living legacy in the world of interior design, Tom Samet has spent over four decades transforming spaces with warmth, sophistication, and an unerring sense of style. Samet has become a trusted name among clients who value timeless elegance layered with personality and comfort. His work is celebrated for its livable luxury—inviting, tailored, and never overdone. 

Tom Samet was raised and lived on the North Shore of Long Island in Old Westbury and Locust Valley. Drawing inspiration from the gracious country houses found in the area, Samet has built a career defined by gracious living and entertaining. His interiors tell stories: of people, of history, of refined taste expressed with ease. It’s no wonder he has long been a go-to designer for clients seeking a space that feels as good as it looks.
