Country Hamptons

A Country Hamptons kitchen is all about incorporating timber with shaker-style cabinetry created with VJ Panels or lining boards. Dark timber flooring, a pitched ceiling, timber countertops and a large kitchen island are all essential components of this style. A butler’s sink is another crucial style element in a Country Hamptons home with a mix of matte black hardware and brass tapware. Wooden utensils, white ceramics, and open shelving with an array of cookbooks all add to the country look.

A freestanding bath is the ultimate focal point in a country-styled bathroom, looking out onto a beautiful landscape. The window that looks out onto this view will be framed by thick architraves. Timber again makes an appearance with Lining boards along the walls and around the floor-standing vanity. The vanity itself will incorporate timber features in earthy colours and an above-counter basin which will be paired with brass tapware and white towels.

The bedroom of a Country Hamptons home should feel calm and relaxing. A neutral bedhead, earthy-toned bed linens, side tables with a pop of colour and some natural greenery should all be present. VJ Panelling in a shaker style along the walls will add a sense of charm and comfort with large windows framed with thick architraves looking out onto a stunning view.

The living room in a Country Hamptons home is truly the centre of activity. Starting with the heart of the room which is the fireplace decorated with floor-to-ceiling stonework and a beautiful timber mantle decorated with cornice and inlay mould. Rich dark timber floorings help keep the style grounded. A barn-style pitch ceiling lined with VJ panels or lining board and paired with exposed beams will offer a stunning feature. Bi-fold doors will open the space up onto the wrap-around verandah and bring some of the outdoors in. It’s also important not to forget the living room walls where you can opt for VJ panels in a shaker style or break it up and have the lower half of the wall decorated with wainscoting whilst the upper half shows VJ panels, the two styles separated by chair rail.
