The Hamptons style was born in the popular American season holiday area of North and South Hampton, where New York’s wealthy escape to the beach for summer.
Hamptons style attempts to emulate beachside living by creating free flowing spaces with design and the use of natural light. The look is casual yet sophisticated and uses neutral colour tones, comfortable furniture, a mix of natural timber and wicker with delicate china and interesting but relatively basic artwork pieces. Blue and white striped patterns for pillows, large windows, white plush sofas, and painted white wood are also common fixtures.
The interior mouldings for Hamptons style are typically high skirting boards with big rounded profile features and beautiful wall wainscoting.
