Hamptons style d\u00e9cor has morphed over the years from country homes to embodying a more relaxed, glamourous style. Now, Hamptons homes are characterised by plenty of white with touches of blue, navy, and pastel colours, soft fabrics, and sophisticated finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Hamptons look is about high-quality materials and elegance, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t achieve this coveted look on a budget. By choosing a few key pieces of furniture and adding some affordable d\u00e9cor pieces to finish it off, you can complete your Hamptons look house. Here\u2019s our step-by-step guide on getting Hamptons style d\u00e9cor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Start with Colour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First off; the hallmark of a Hamptons home starts with colour \u2013 or the lack of it! Hamptons style d\u00e9cor is all about building light, airy spaces, and colour is key to that. Start with a light base, whether that\u2019s pure white, grey tones, or warmer, creamier whites. Paint your walls, or add floorboards. You can choose a white-washed wood, a light oak, or even darker tones, which can look great against light furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, you can always add seasonal coloured highlights, from earthy or blush tones to sea blues or greens, to pastels. This minimal base actually makes it far easier to style your spaces with whatever you like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Build with texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though Hamptons style d\u00e9cor is built mostly with light colours and white, with some clever interior design choices, it can still be a multifaceted look. The key to adding depth is through texture, materials, and selective accented colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add texture with thick, textural rugs, wall hangings, and cushions. Add Hamptons style furniture with linen slipcovers that can be removed and cleaned easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use furniture to mix up the materials in your Hamptons home and add depth. Natural materials like wood, cane, and rattan can inject a more relaxed, coastal vibe, while gold, brass, or chrome has a more glamourous feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Add light and air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we think Hamptons, we think coastal. And what could be more coastal than a breezy, light-filled space? In Australia, we\u2019re obsessed with alfresco entertaining areas, barbecues, and outdoor dining. But not everyone lives next to the sea, or has a sprawling backyard and bi-fold sliding doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from doing a full-scale renovation, you can add light using large mirrors, light paint colours, and sheer curtains. Adopt an open floor plan to allow air to flow better throughout your spaces. Avoid blocking off spaces. Instead, keep them open by decluttering and utilising an open floor plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting can work wonders to create a Hamptons feel in your home, and it doesn\u2019t have to cost the earth. Install affordable lighting; either with several smaller lights, a large chandelier, or a large floor lamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
