08 Jan Why is the Hamptons style so popular in Australia?
The Hamptons home style is charming, timeless and luxurious. It has become popular in Sydney’s beach suburbs. After all, originating in the coastal suburbs of New York’s long island it’s a coastal style associated with summer holidays.
Why do we love it so much?
Hamptons homes are regularly found on the seaside and are fashioned to match the beachy feel. The style is welcoming and encourages indoor-outdoor living, entertaining and relaxing.
Hamptons homes are showered in a lot of light because they generally have large windows bordering the walls of the home. The light is calming to people who enjoy spending time in sunlight and outdoor areas.
The Hamptons homes’ resort vibes appeal to people who enjoy living the high life. The homes can be associated with holiday homes and everyone longs for the feeling of luxury.
These are casual and relaxing sort of houses that welcome you comfortably and allow you to feel closer to nature.
Hamptons’ serene environment grants relaxation in the comfort of your own home. The thought of reading a book – or practising another indoor hobby – snugly at home is quite soothing.
The style rewards careful decoration and styling. Hamptons is all about the details. Our H&G Hamptons Home page explains a wealth of details you can add to your home to give it that Hamptons charm.
What’s the ideal starting point for a Hamptons home?
