Create A Hampton-Style Living Space

Hello World!  Welcome Friends!  The Hamptons are a popular seaside resort in New York City. They are well known all over the world today for their style that uses strokes of cobalt blue and white to create a light and breezy ambiance. At a glance, it seems like a carefree style, however, it has the right touch of elegance with subtle hints of affluence. You can also turn your lovely abode into something straight out of the Hamptons by adding a few key elements such as those mentioned below.

 Blue is Bliss

Nautical blue plays a significant role in creating the Hamptons style. You can incorporate this lovely color in the form of cushions, bold stripes, ornamental hurricane lamps, oversized vases and so on. You need to add coastal accents in the form of coral, shells, starfish and other nautical themed objects. Adding a bunch of blue hydrangeas, agapanthus or dahlias is the perfect finishing touch to transform your beautiful home.

The Focus Piece

In every Hamptons home, you will undoubtedly come across the overstuffed white couch. This acts as the key piece for the entire décor. You can add the same element to your home and turn it into the focus piece. In addition to this, you can also consider add-on pieces like sideboards, ottomans, coffee tables and so on. If you already have a chaise, you just need to add a white slipcover over it for an instant Hampton makeover.

Natural Wood

The Hamptons style is well known for its affinity for timber sideboards, floorboards or cupboards. In fact, some Hampton homes also have a piece of driftwood placed antically in a corner to showcase the connection between the coast and the sea. You can also decorate a wall in your home with a piece of driftwood that has macramé work to get that Hamptons feel.

Bathroom

The Hamptons style is not just the main rooms in your home. You can even extend it to the bathrooms. For creating the feel, inputs from https://www.novushomes.com.au/hamptons-style-homes-perth suggest a neutral color palette, brushed chrome plumbing, and shaker door profiles. You just need to stay aligned with the coastal theme and opt for classic mirrors, timber Venetian blinds or even some local coastal art. 

Wicker Baskets

You can easily buy a couple of wicker baskets in different shapes and sizes and place them about your home for an instant Hamptons makeover. You can use these baskets for different purposes like placing your key, putting fruits and so on.

White

In order to get the complete Hamptons style, you have to pick white for your walls, linens, furniture, cupboards, ceiling and so on. It will also make your home appear bigger and spacious. In order to get a break from the monotony of white, you need to add accents of blue, nautical blue to be exact.

Open Floor Plan

Most Hampton homes have an open floor plan. Oversized rooms with high ceilings are synonymous with Hamptons style. If you do not have space for it, you can replicate this feel by creating airy spaces with natural fabrics like cotton and linen. Natural light is also a great way to recreate the Hamptons style in your home in a breeze.

Hamptons style with all its aesthetic and classic appeal can be quite a sight for any home. You can add your own touch to match your comfort and taste. Though going neutral is the key, you can opt for sheen finishes and blending different shades of white like absolute white, designer white, off-white, wicker white, and so on.
