The Hampton’s style is defined by cool, classic and sophisticated designs that meet rustic, casual beach vibes. This beautiful design is derived from the romance and glamour of a summer home. Australia is blessed with an abundance of prime property locations,  attractive climate and steady feed of beautiful Hamptons visuals via movies, magazines and other media. Hence this style has become extremely popular in Australia, to a degree that Australians have now put their own twist on it. Whether you are coastal, country or middle of Sydney you will see that this style has been taking hold of the Australian home design market for some years now. So much, to the extent, that we want to give it its own name but "Aussie Glamptons" just does not do it justice.

"Designer Dianna Bergeron quoted to Home Beautiful magazine “Often, clients will start by asking for a Hamptons- Style Home, as it has become a broad term here in Australia. What they are actually looking for is usually a mix of traditional American North East Coast style. A cross between modern American, Hamptons, Colonial New England, Cape Cod and Nantucket-Style.”

We also believe there is a large influence from the traditional Australian cladded country home. As you can see through the pictures below, they all have a common theme which is defined through large window opening bringing outside to in, shaker-style cabinetry, timber floors and classic furnishings to create an elegant feel.

When designing your Hamptons kitchen, the number one bit of advice is not to get caught up in the shiny things. Having predominantly white, timber floors, some thick skirtings and cornices.

Wall panelling such as shiplap or coastal style weatherboards. A big bay window with a seat in the kitchen is a real design piece in a Hamptons Home.

Lantern style, pendant lights over an island bench is a classic design in a Hamptons kitchen.

Bathrooms are to be a relaxing environment that is well lit and practical, Taps and Vanities are to be the Hero pieces in the bathrooms. Some elements to creating a Hamptons style bathroom are: Hamptons bathrooms are neutral colours, white, grey or black and white sometimes with a splash of pastel colours. Tap ware Is generally chrome or nickel-plated and traditional in style. The vanity is usually custom built with a shaker style profile on the doors and drawers. In picture one  you can see the traditional Hamptons style bathroom with traditional tap ware the built in cabinets. You can also see the shower in a complete separate room. In the picture two you can see the more rustic look, with the timber floors and the panelled walls. The white marble benches and the white cabinetry.
