7 Ways to Create Hamptons Style in Your Home

The Hamptons are known for lavish summer lifestyles that include beautiful beaches, stunning homes, exclusive cocktail parties, and sleek style. It makes sense that people want to incorporate this feeling into their home design.

Hamptons home style can be described as light, bright, airy, and sophisticated. Interior design in the Hamptons can often come with a sense of effortless calm. For a house to meet these criteria, you must keep in mind the proper color scheme, lighting, flooring, and furnishings.

Below are 7 design elements that you can incorporate into your home to achieve beautiful Hamptons style.

 

1. Natural Textures and Linens in Whites and Neutral Tones

Use natural materials for curtains, rugs, and textiles to warm up plain white walls. Don't be afraid to layer rugs and use materials like jute to bring natural textures to your home. Luxury throw blankets in whites or other light colored neutrals also easily help make your space feel more like home and give any piece of furniture that Hamptons style.

2. Oversized Furniture

The Hamptons is all about entertaining, and what makes a gathering more enjoyable than comfortable oversized furniture. When shopping for furniture for your home, choose pieces that are not only impressive and large, but also that are comfortable and perfect for hosting guests.

3. Bright Accent Lighting

Whether your home has an abundance of natural light or not, using bright and elegant accent lighting is a great way to achieve Hampton's style. Accent lighting can dress up a space and create the illusion of an abundance of light. Think table lamps, sconces, and more. For example, pendant lighting is a staple in many Hamptons style kitchens.

4. Large Windows

At this point, it is very clear that the key to creating Hamptons style in your home is to keep rooms feeling bright and airy. It makes sense that a staple in many beautiful Hamptons home designs are large spanning windows. If you do use curtains, remember that natural materials and neutral solid colors are perfect for this look.

5. Marble Interior Accents

This east coast style is not only understated, but it should be luxurious. From bathroom accessories to your dining room tabletop, light colored marble will give your space a crisp look.

6. An Elegant Exterior

Your home's curb appeal should be equally as important as your interiors. Follow the neutral tones on the outside of your home and consider wood paneling for an authentic Hamptons style.

7. Chic Outdoor Furniture

Create a seamless transition from the interior to the backyard with consistent color choices and chic outdoor furniture. Use outdoor tables, lounges, and accessories to create the same feeling outside.
