Born in London, raised in Australia, and now based in Manhattan, fashion photographer Ben Watts (brother of actress Naomi Watts) escapes the city to a shingled house in Montauk. The setup, which we spotted in Lonny Magazine, overlooks the ocean and has an overall laid-back vibe that we can't help but attribute to Watts's Aussie background. The master bath is especially appealing; masculine, airy, and bright, it has an easy look we'd like to replicate. Here are some of the elements.

The marble-topped double vanity is paired with traditional faucets and offers open shelving—the space stays clutter free thanks to baskets and wall hooks.
