This summer, you’ve seen it everywhere: country club chic (also known as tennsicore in fashion). The aesthetic is dominated by groomed lawns, classic cabana stripes, and 90s racquet club styling combined with historically elegant furniture. Princess Diana is shown relaxing on a Ralph Lauren sofa at Baron’s Cove in Sag Harbor. Interiors lean toward New England 90s style, with rattan and wicker furniture for warmth and texture, soft chambray linens for casual comfort, and modest needlework that exudes sophistication.Serena and Lily are the home vendors who best embody this trend. Everything in this collection evokes the 90s country club aesthetic, from handcrafted beds and dining tables to flatwoven carpets and embroidered cushions. So, below are ten goods that are well worth the investment.

1. Cornwall Bed
Better than vintage, this bed is inspired by classic New England interiors. Its stepped posts and handcrafted bobbin details provide a sense of vintage beauty, while the wire brush accents give it a sought-after, age-old aesthetic. It’s also handcrafted from durable spruce and engineered wood, and it includes a slat support system that allows you to utilize it with or without a mattress base. (However, the company advises a 2-inch foundation for the greatest fit). What about the cherry on top? It’s also available in a washed white finish for those decorating a beach property.
2. Cambria Quilt
This quilt, made of 100% cotton voile and filled with pure cotton, is cloud-soft and ideal for snuggling. The delicate, floral design seems like something out of a country club advertisement, while the contrast stitching on the reverse adds a touch of bohemian. The 1.5-inch filled flange keeps everything in place, and the weight is ideal for the transitional period between summer blankets and winter comforters. It also has the added benefit of being machine washable.
3. Sedona Rug
This rug is made of a variety of materials, including jute, wool, and cotton, to produce a textured ground that reflects sea colors. The combination of materials produces deep, earthy tones that are ideal for anchoring any area. A mix of terracotta, navy, and ivory hues that pay homage to classic 90s color palettes—ideal for grounding a space with a touch of rustic elegance. Just remember to rotate the rug every three to six months to avoid excessive wear and sun exposure in one spot.
4. Tofino Outdoor Sofa
Enter the classic porch revival, with a modern twist. This outdoor sofa has beautiful wicker in a fresh, graceful form that is ideal for any modernized yet traditional patio. The double-walled frame is built of all-weather resin on a powder-coated aluminum frame for long-lasting durability, and the cushions are filled with all-weather foam and polyester. Not only is it fluffy and comfortable, but it is also designed to withstand the weather. To that purpose, it is available in 16 of Serena and Lily’s performance fabrics, which are engineered to repel water, prevent mildew, and survive harsh light, heat, and rain without fading. And, of course, the cushion covers are detachable and machine washable, ensuring that it will last season after season.
5. Wave Club Umbrella
This umbrella is a beach club classic with gentle, rolling wave motifs that will lend a pop of color and pattern to any outdoor space. The portable design may be utilized at the beach or in your backyard, and it includes a polished aluminum crank, hinge, and finial, as well as all-weather fabric that repels water and withstands harsh sun. The canopy is also removable, and the white powder-coated aluminum pole can be tilted at the hinge to provide adjustable shade. Furthermore, while it includes a sand screw for beach use, it may be paired with the brand’s Table Umbrella Stand or Galvanized Umbrella Stand in the backyard (available separately).
6. Catania Bone Frames
These frames, made of natural bone with a polished finish, are as nostalgic as the images they hold. While they’re designed to mix and match, with sizes ranging from 7.75″ x 5.75″ to 11.75″ x 9.75″, they can come as a pair of three to form a stunning vignette. Aside from the fact that they may be exhibited vertically or horizontally, they also come in ‘natural’ and ‘blue’ colors to fit the rest of your decor.
7. Lake House Round Dining Table
This dining table has the feel of a family heirloom passed down through generations. Its cracked oak finishing emphasizes the organic essence of European oak, giving it a rich texture and depth, while the engineered wood foundation guarantees it’s as durable as it is elegant. It can also accommodate six to eight people comfortably, making it ideal for organizing dinner parties or family gatherings. And because it’s handmade, no two tables will be identical, adding to its distinct appeal. (Just avoid using cleansers and abrasives, which can ruin the finish.)
8. Miramonte Pillow Cover
While I would buy this pillow cover for the pattern alone, it is the intricacies that really entice me. Hand stitching adds richness to the garment-dyed linen. This creates a contrast between the rich embroidery and the super-soft fabric, which comes in four colors: vintage indigo, coastal blue, natural, and moss. The linen has also been acid-washed, resulting in textured highs and lows in the weave, giving each item a particular appearance. Take notice that the insert is available separately.
9. Larkspur Single Sconce
This sconce is a reinterpreted classic with a thin form and the brand’s distinctive hand-wrap, finished with a lovely shade. It’s made of brass and has natural rattan wrapped around the arm, which extends 5 inches from the wall. The base comes in two finishes: classic brass or powder-coated white. The shades are available in three styles: a tapered white linen shade, a white linen shade with a white wave trim, and a raffia shade with a natural wave trim. Not to mention that it works with a dimmer switch and is damp UL-listed, making it appropriate for use in bathrooms.
10. Miramar Fringed Chair
With its beautiful roll arms and twisted legs, this chair has a distinct appearance that pays homage to 18th-century English design. While it is supported by strong, hand-tied steel coil springs for even suspension, the seat cushions are comprised of fiber-wrapped, soy-based foam cores with down-proof ticking for an extra velvety sensation. (It also has a small recline for extra comfort.) I adore that it comes in two basket-woven patterns—chalk and white—and is finished with a sophisticated hand-crocheted fringe in a bone finish. Ideal if you want a unique piece that will withstand the test of time.
