What is Hamptons Style?

Hamptons styled interiors reflect a relaxed, casual beach lifestyle in a classical, wealthy, sophisticated way. Inspired by the holiday homes on Long Island New York City, Hamptons interiors are bright and breezy with white walls, plenty of natural sunlight and timber floorboards. Hampton homes are open spaces with calm sophisticated beach vibes.
