Create a Hamptons Style Home

Hamptons style homes are luxurious, laid-back coastal and exquisitely detailed. If you’re looking for a style that is timeless and will never date, whilst also continuing to have a fresh look, then the Hamptons style is perfect for you.

You can swap between a modern Hamptons home, a traditional Hamptons home or a more provincial style Hamptons home by your choice of colour palette (think tiles, timber flooring & paint), lighting and statement pieces, such as your bathroom vanity or curtains.

Our interior designer has done the hard work for you and curated a beautiful Hamptons-approved collection.

How to create a Hamptons style home:

  • Keep it simple – the space should feel expansive and uncluttered
  • Invest in big windows with beautiful sheer curtains to let in natural light and add a touch of greenery
  • Use light paint colours like white, pale grey and duck egg blue on walls
  • Moulded details on vanities and panelled walls really capture the Hamptons style
  • Use cool, natural finishes like stone and marble for your tiles
  • Accessorise with a splash of colour that conjures the seaside – like blue and white striped towels

Traps to avoid:

  • All white everything. White wall paint and white tiles are the right base but the space needs to be balanced with other textures and colours
  • Cheap finishes. Hamptons homes are luxury homes
  • Harsh, artificial lighting, opt for a more luxurious pendant

Getting The Hamptons Bathroom Look

Obtaining the Hamptons look starts with a fresh colour palette. Common Hamptons home colours include whites, light greys, blues, and natural brown colours like timber finishes. The Hamptons look is one of elegance with a mix of coastal elements to balance the colours out.

For a Hamptons Style bathroom, fixtures and fittings will often be in a chrome, brushed nickel, or brushed brass colour. For a more traditional Hamptons look, opt for three-piece tapware. For a modern Hamptons look, go for that modern mixer tap with a Shepherds Crook.  

The bathroom vanity is often of a matte white, shaker style finish with handles to match the tapware. A beautiful benchtop often a simple white or Carrara marble finish, paired with an undercounter basin to retain a seamless and elegant look. There are often two to three styles of tiles in the bathroom. One being simple and white, and the others to bring a statement and pop of colour/style into the space. Most commonly used are subway tiles, herringbone tiles, marble tiles, and encaustic tiles.

Lighting is essential for any Hamptons Style bathroom. This style of bathroom requires natural lighting to bring a softer ambience in the space, especially when the light peaks through shutters. Add colour to the space through your accessories; from natural greenery and plants to towels and rugs.
