Shutters on windows and doors are synonymous with the Hamptons look and whilst a space can be minimalist to some degree, colours and texture from throw rugs, cushions, floor rugs and artwork are incorporated to ensure a sense of coziness is not lost!

Hamptons style works well with open plan living spaces cleverly divided into ‘rooms’ by furniture placement. High ceilings and large windows mean light filled rooms that seamlessly flow from inside to out embrace the beachside lifestyle.
Classic styled furniture such as generous sofas covered in neutral toned fabrics are a must as are lamps with shell detail or simple neutral coloured shades. Shell pendant lights are pretty easy to find these days and can make a statement!
Cane furniture – rattan or wicker can be incorporated to give the style an earthy, grounded feel. To add a touch of glamour, add a chandelier or a little bit of glitz with a mirror or two.
