HAMPTON Style
HAMPTON Style
Elegant and relaxed, Hamptons style is inspired by a stunning region near New York that has long been a haven for the rich and famous.
It is a versatile style that is both classic and casual, bringing a feeling of relaxed elegance to a refined and sophisticated look. The good news is that you don't have to live in the tropics.
Key Features
Cabinetry
A Hamptons kitchen hallmark is white cabinetry.
There is always a demand for traditional shaker-style cabinets consisting of a flat middle piece with a frame surrounding the edge. Fabulous hardware choices include shell-inspired handles and dark knobs.
Color
With this aesthetic, it comes as no surprise that white is always the colour of choice.
Coastal themes can also be emphasized by a variety of pale neutral colors, such as sand tones.
Adding colour to a room is made easy by greys, blues and greens, ranging from duck egg blues to navy, aquas and soft sea greens.
Flooring
It's best to go with dark or whitewashed floorboards for the style.
Space
Hamptons style kitchens are characterised by spacious areas, high ceilings so they can accommodate decorative moulding around the cabinetry, and windows that let in lots of natural light.
Lightening
Large or oversized pendant lights are an excellent choice for rooms with high ceilings as they maintain the emphasis on light.
Benchtops Islands
The Hamptons are known for their kitchen islands. They provide extra bench and storage space, and an area for relaxed, casual stool seating.
The island is often decorated with traditional features such as paneled cabinetry and corbels.
This style works beautifully with stone bench-tops. The classic choice is marble, while reconstituted stone splash-backs such as Uniquartz are a great alternative.
Splash back
With a focus on traditional features, stone or ceramic tiles are an ideal choice for splash-backs.

Feels like French Style?
In fact, many Hamptons kitchens take inspiration from French Provincial architecture, as you can see, and many kitchen designs exemplify both styles.
Besides linen fabrics and cane, other natural materials like glass and wood are used.
Kitchen islands are often adorned with cane stools painted white.
