Striking Hamptons-style bedroom ideas for the perfect coastal retreat

The likes of modern Hamptons style is characterised by a crisp, clear, and elegant look. This is complemented by open spaces, lots of natural light, and the furniture to match that ever-popular aesthetic.

Palette: Oceanic blues and soft neutrals

This is, arguably, the most crucial part of our Hamptons-style bedroom ideas. The core colour scheme that will inspire your interpretation:

• Blues
• Creamy beige
• Whites
• Muted greens

This palette is what makes the style so timeless. But it is down to you how you spread this array of colour across the room. Some designers choose a navy blue upholstered bedhead to complement crisp, clear white walls and a nautical-themed duvet set. Others go for a stronger contrast between colours, such as adding a handwoven rattan panel bedhead to stand out from the blues and whites.

A more extreme example is all white—a “calming coastal” aesthetic that muted and relies on textural rattans to add accents to whites, which otherwise blend together until the bed and walls appear to merge. This is a great one for a breezy, relaxing bedroom vibe.

Patterns: For a personal touch

You can enhance Hamptons-style with an individualistic touch. These should be subtle and almost lost in the background, but there to see for the appreciative and eagle-eyed.

One way to do this is with small minimalistic gestures.

For example, add a small patterned vase underneath a bedside table. Or choose an upholstered bedhead with a blue and white checked design. Little gestures, sure, but ones that balance out a room’s feel with hidden treasures.

Hamptons bedroom furniture: Nautical creature comforts

For an elegant and sophisticated bedroom, a strong starting point is luxury bedding. Aim to invest in a premium quality duvet set that reflects coastal themes. This is where your creativity comes in. You may want a blue or white duvet, rattan panel bedhead, grey carpet, beige or blue walls, white skirting boards… it’s all down to your vision.

The goal is to present luxury. You’re aiming for a 5-star hotel set beachside with sprawling, oceanic views. A safe choice to achieve the look of splendour is with crisp white sheets. Complement these with white walling and the rest of the design will flow out in your imagination.

You can add extra Hamptons bedroom furniture to this setting. Include items such as:

• Bedside tables
• Lamps
• Ottomans
• Wardrobes (more on this below)

Ensure these have on-point styles, such as those crisp and clear whites you’re looking for. Or make the tables a striking timber brown, which has a fantastic stark contrast to the lighter surroundings. That’s one of the greatest Hamptons tips of them all.

Wardrobe: Clean and clear

Many Hamptons designs will feature a white, low-key wardrobe that seemingly blends into its surroundings. With the right styling, a wardrobe may even merge into the bedroom walls.

That unobstructed look is helped by a roomy, spacious interior for hanging clothing and footwear. A messy room does not lend itself well to Hamptons, so plenty of storage space is the first step.

Symmetrical Philosophy: For visual equilibrium

From matching colour patterns and textures to including bedside tables, cushions, and lamps to complement one another. The more matchmaking you do, the better the outcome. The end result will be a picturesque room with a clear design philosophy behind every detail.

Lighting: Open windows, natural sunlight

This style is famous for allowing flowing and natural light into rooms. A Hamptons bedroom is no different and you can achieve this look by paying special attention to windows.

You’ll need to invest in high-quality fabrics for this, such as with decorative heavy drapes or the use of Roman blinds. Better yet, install plantation shutters for that wonderful coastal feel—as if by the seaside, the occupant can open and close them to allow natural light to flood into the bedroom.

Accessorising: For the final flourishes

Your design should end with a flourish! For instance, you may want to add a landscape painting into the mix. Our tip? Think of Japanese woodblock artists such as Hiroshi Yoshida, whose coastal pieces would make an ideal match to this style.

It’s no big surprise Hamptons lends itself very well to coastal paintings. These can be of the ocean or sprawling beaches and can sit neatly above the bedhead next to an open window.

Other accessories may include adding extra furniture, such as an ottoman, or fresh flowers to a vase on a bedside table.

What is a Hamptons style bedroom?

It’s a bedroom that uses the iconic Hamptons style interior design, which takes its inspiration from the Long Island, New York holiday resort. It’s a sophisticated design that lends itself perfectly to bedrooms. The style is famous for its coastal, nautical influences—think of oceanic blues, creamy beige, and sparkling whites.

Merging white walling alongside high-quality blue bed sheets and matching furniture is the ideal way to create this look. The end result is a refined space with a bright, relaxed, atmospheric aesthetic—it’s like being beside the seaside.
