What is Hamptons Style?
Situated north of New York, The Hamptons is just a hop, skip and a jump from the hustle and bustle of the city life. The Hamptons is a very popular escape for the wealthy and chic set during the Summer. The Hamptons Style is charactorised with light and airy spaces, coastal decor without being cliche. With sophisticated, neutral and muted colour palette, the look is comfortable and easy. The style is designed to be bathed in light with light treatments designed to maximise the sunshine. Grand, large spaces, with lofty ceilings are always chic. Despite the fact that it looks expensive, savvy and resourceful decorating budgets for Hamptons Style can be actually quite accessible, even for entry level.

In the image above you can see the open windows, natural elements, with genuinely weathered wood, rustic, almost french farmhouse wooden pieces of furniture. Recycled wood for the bedhead mixes with 1000+threadcount linen, and soft natural colours are strong features of the style. Wooden floors with stylish rugs are also an important detail.
Let’s Get Comfortable
Hamptons style homes do look elegant and chic, an important feature is the home must be comfortable and welcoming. Oversized soft furnishings and furniture pieces create nooks or special “get-together-areas”. Add texture with throws, rugs and big cushions.
