LONG ISLAND COOL

From the moment you step into a Hamptons home, it feels like you are on holiday. Your cares melt away and your senses are captivated by cool comfortable spaces and colours that are easy on the eye. Interiors are defined by generously proportioned spaces, beautiful fabrics and finishes.

The name Hamptons originated more than 100 years ago in the coastal region of Long Island in the USA, where luxurious holiday homes were crafted for the wealthy with a discerning eye. For the last decade or so, it’s a look that has captivated Australian designers. The relaxed yet graceful finishes and coastal vibe resonate both with city folk and those who live by the sea.
