While they may make for delicious eye candy, East End show houses can appear decidedly unattainable to city dwellers living in less-than-sprawling apartments. To help with the Hamptons-to-high-rise translation, several interior designers who contributed to the “Idea House” — it opens Friday in Water Mill — shared tips for maximizing space.

Admission is $20, and proceeds will benefit various charities. For more information, visit www.hcandg.com/ideahouse.
