Hampton summer style

Space filled with light

One characteristic of Hamptons-style interiors is that they are incredibly bright. With large windows, the spacious rooms are full of light, which softens all furniture lines, making them visually delicate. The colours are neutral for a relaxed but elegant climate. The muffled white, light brown or sky-blue hues, typical of seaside resorts, perfectly harmonise with natural materials, such as wood or stone. The floors and walls serve as the background for the accessories, responsible for the actual character of Hamptons-style interiors. So what decorative elements should you choose to fully reflect the climate in question? Paint the walls in bright shades based on nature. This can be contrasted with a slightly darker wooden floor. Due to the multitude of heavy accessories often used in Hamptons-style designs, the floor surface should be resistant to potential scratches caused by the moving of objects. You can use Classic Oak Warm Grey wood-like milled rock tiles from the Wood Concept collection. Their visible grain, matte finish and diversity of pattern make them look incredibly natural and serve as a perfect substitute for natural wood. If you want to go for a more romantic look, use bright Classic Oak White tiles that imitate bleached wood.

A luxurious and cosy interior

At first glance, a Hamptons-style interior may seem incredibly minimalistic. A bright space filled with one dominant colour is not enough to make a home look luxurious and cosy. It is the accessories that are the key to the effect. Start by choosing the biggest possible, comfortable, fluffy sofas, preferably in a bright, grey to blue, deep hue. They are to make you want to stay in the room and to encourage you to relax. Cover them with very trendy, thick-woven blankets to add warmth to the interior. Pick a lot of cushions – preferably with diverse textures and patterns but all in natural colours. The Hamptons style also likes carpets with gentle patterns to contrast with the darker floor. Bring in plants – both in pots and fresh, cut flowers.

Accessories with character

A flat decorated in the Hamptons style may look simple and minimalistic, but properly selected accessories will give it the desired character. The power of the interior lies in details related to the seaside climate. You can mix various styles – luxurious with idyllic, Mediterranean.
Choose single navy blue accents, such as vases. Other good options include silver lanterns and candlesticks, wicker flower pots, glass jars filled with shells, tied with a thick jute string. Do not forget about candles – they are an incredibly important element of a Hamptons-style interior, associated with evening relaxation time. Pick natural materials to contrast with the coldness of the luxurious accessories.
The furniture should be as simple as possible to remain inconspicuous. You may take care of the details, such as stylised knobs for a chest of drawers. Remember about proper lighting. Arrange single lamps over the whole space, letting the dispersed light visually warm up the interior in the evening and give it an elegant look during the day. Hang a lot of pictures representing maritime style and themes. Play with the sizes of frames for a decorative effect and to attract the attention of your guests.
