How to Make the Beauty of Hamptons Design Part of Your Abode

Whether or not you’re keeping up the step with trends and inject your interior décor with changes often doesn’t matter because fact is there’d come a day when you’d consider a makeover, most of us like to add a few changes in the abode every now and then yet we don’t always have the money for it.

Great news is there’s a way to make the most of your interior without needing to upgrade it constantly, and the answer is in inviting the charms of the coastal Hamptons design. It’s calm, it’s neutral, it’s timeless, everything you’d want in a design, and you don’t have to live by the coast to be able to enjoy it.

The simple addition of pieces of Hampton style living room furniture is sure to make a grand change. For example, a side table, bookshelf or display case made from solid mahogany timber, in a white finish, are sure to fill the room with warmth and comfort. 

Even if you don’t choose to go all Hamptons, it’s classy and the luxury it provides can easily be combined with that of modern Australian homes. Besides, the Hampton style living room furniture pieces just mentioned can be used in other parts of your home too.

If you get tired of the look you can move them to the bedroom or hallway for instance. Since predominantly the design is about neutrals, mostly white in particular, the finish matters a great deal so make sure you layer some textures to spice it up.

Natural materials, in the likes of oak floors and jute rugs and throws are the ideal, but considering beauty is also in the details, furniture with antique-finish brass handles and hinges is most welcome too.

Rattan makes another highly desirable option to mix up the whiteness and you have the freedom to choose anything rattan, from storage baskets to lighting fixtures, armchairs and coffee tables, whatever helps personalise your home.

Just because white dominates doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with other colours and tones; after all you’re supposed to make use of the coastal beauty so don’t be afraid to let sandy brown, greys and blues in as well. Surround yourself with artwork in these colours, and use the help of mirrors to reflect it through your home.

Given that it’s about the natural feel, you could even add a twist to the classical look by counting on the beauty of greenery; fill up your abode with lots of plants! If you’re up for a tropical flair, the Bird of Paradise or Cordyline can make all the difference.
