Scandi Catskills.
The Scandi Catskills aesthetic is the visual DNA of the 2014–2020 boutique revival up here. Scribner's started it, Graham & Co. made it affordable, Eastwind and Foxfire expanded the palette. Expect blonde pine, wool throws, black-steel hardware, mid-century silhouettes, and a sauna somewhere on property. It works because it's honest about materials — things look like what they are.
