Inspired by the house that were built on Long Island’s south coast (otherwise known as The Hamptons of North America), the Hamptons style is pretty much synonymous with elegant luxury, beachy vibes, and a casual white-washed look that feels very cool and calm as a whole. If you like this look, then below we’ve compiled a guide which will allow you to gorgeously articulate it in your own homes:
1. Get that high-end look

The understated luxury of the Hamptons style is best emulated by going for that high-end vibe. It’s best brought on by going for simple and neutral materials. If you take a look at this space, you’ll see how the casual wood, slate paint, and stone vibe makes the entire space feel instantly calming without compromising on the luxury. That’s exactly what this style is all about.
2. Effortlessly calming

Another factor to consider when designing a Hamptons style space is that it needs to look effortlessly calm. It needs to invoke a sense of peace and relaxation within a person, so whether you do it with a nice view, a cool colour, or some cozy furniture depends on you.
3. Cozy and whitewashed

There are undertones of the coastal aesthetic hidden within the Hamptons style and the best way to emulate that in a Singaporean home is by going for a whitewashed look. You can do that by designing most of your room in shades of white – the ceiling, the floor, the window treatments, and even the bedcovers can be white. Only an accent wall and a few accessories can be finished in darker shades to break the monotony.
4. Light and bright

The Hamptons style is known for its casual breeziness, which means that it features loads of light. The layout is usually open and the ambiance is designed in a way that exemplifies spaciousness. So think in terms of big windows with an awesome view of the terrace, cozy furniture, and a touch of coastal-minimalism in the mix to get the best of this look.
5. Lush greens

One of the biggest attractions of the Hamptons style is some lush greenery that’s visible throughout the space. You don’t have to go for actual plants to get this look. In fact, you can go for lush palm fronds and put them in an oversized vase. Feature that in the center of your dining or coffee table and you’ll have the same effect!
