Hamptons Style Interior Design
Hamptons style combines coastal charm with sophisticated natural elements and earthy finishes. This makes for an inviting, elegant space that feels both relaxed and refined. Timelessness is ever-present too; the perfect blend of classic and contemporary!
What Is Hamptons Style?
Hamptons style is a coastal-inspired interior design style originating from the Hamptons region of Long Island, New York. Over time, we’ve made it our own, giving it an Aussie twist that supports our unique way of living.
This timeless aesthetic combines calm colours and organic textures, creating a light, ambient feel in rooms.
With a palette inspired by the ocean, and by avoiding expected style cliches, the modern take on this classic effortlessly elevates any space.
Key Features of the Hamptons Style
- A foundation of neutral tones like whites, soft greys and beiges is seen throughout to evoke calm
- A medley of blue accents brings interest to spaces, giving just enough colour without overwhelming the eye
- A variety of light to mid-toned timbers are used in furniture to keep the interior ambient and organic in feel, accompanied by crisp white pieces to ensure the look stays fresh
- A sense of space and airiness is present; clever storage solutions ensure rooms are clutter-free
- Traditional details shine alongside clean, modern lines

Creating the Hamptons Look
Colour Palette
Hamptons interiors embrace soft, muted tones, which deliver the calming atmosphere this style is know for. Whites, soft greys, and beiges create a light, airy feel, while occasional touches of blue (and even soft green) evoke the tranquil waters of the coast. Small pops of black can be seen in smaller accessories, but it’s to be used sparingly.
Furniture
Hampton style furniture is less cliched than it used to be. Gone are the predictably dark walnut timbers, and in are the lighter oak tones to keep rooms feeling fresh and contemporary. Lines in furniture have become cleaner and less ornate, but that’s not to say that comfort is compromised. This look is all about usability, showcasing furniture you can sink into and enjoy, with low-maintenance in mind.
Textures & Materials
Linen, cotton, rattan, and light timber are all integral to the Hampton look. These materials are both tactile and visually impressive, enhancing the coastal charm of your space. Natural stone is prominent in countertops, while a combination of matte and gloss tiles are present elsewhere. In hardware the options are quite varied; chrome, brass, matte black and even gunmetal are all suitable for a Hamptons style.
Decor & Accessories
The more modern Hamptons style does away with the nautical artworks, driftwood accents, and glass vases filled with seashells. Now, the approach to decorating is to look to calm patterns, organic shapes and soft furnishings with an earthy feel. We want to give a gentle nod to the coast without overdoing the outdated, expected cliches.
Client Reviews
“The result is better than we expected. He has taken into consideration all our desires and then transformed it into our dream home. It was a luxury to have our home styled by TLC – and one of the most exciting things we’ve done”.
“Chris understood exactly what I wanted to do with my home. From concept to completion he was on top of everything. Seeing the end product I was like ‘why didn’t I get him here sooner?’ Mind. Blown”.
“I’ve never worked with an interior designer before, and was very wary of the entire process. But meeting Chris and seeing his ideas materialise into the apartment I now live in, was an amazing journey for me,”.
“Chris has been so lovely to work with. He didn’t try to push us outside of our comfort zone which we were worried about when first hiring an interior designer. We wish we had engaged him earlier!”.
“We appreciated their integrity, honesty, punctuality, respectfulness and commitment. Communication was excellent so we knew where we were every step of the way. Our project was completed on time and on budget.”.
“The best thing about it was that Chris was able to figure out exactly what we wanted and came up with an entire house of items that just work perfectly. For the cost you get exponentially more value back.”
