4 ways to create a stunning Hamptons house design

With earthy tones, natural textures, neutral colour palettes and accents of stunning ocean blues, a Hamptons house design is the height of domestic luxury!

In this blog, we share tips on creating a genuine Hamptons-style home, from building to decor and everything in between. Read on!

Features of Hamptons house plans

Hamptons house plans stand out with natural, distinctive colours, sophisticated styling and bright, airy designs that create a luxurious, inviting space. Here are some of the main features of Hamptons-style homes.

  • Bright, airy spaces. Hamptons homes generally feature open-plan designs with large windows for natural light.

  • Minimalist open-plan kitchens. Minimalist shaker-style kitchens are a staple of Hamptons homes, featuring clean lines and spacious designs with minor decorations. Be sure to add plenty of natural or electric lighting to your kitchen to create an open, airy feel!

  • Comfort, comfort and more comfort. While Hamptons styling has a sophisticated, luxurious look and feel, it’s important to create comfortable living spaces for relaxing and entertaining. Think cosy living rooms with plenty of throws, blankets and cushions. 

  • Natural colours and textures. Tans, greys, off-whites and soft hues are the main colours used in Hamptons-style house plans, as they add a calm, warm feeling to the space. Natural jute rugs are a popular choice for Hamptons styling. 

Despite its up-market feel, it’s easy to introduce Hamptons decor on a budget in your home. Decorative features like textured, natural-coloured cushions and rugs are a great way to add a Hamptons feel to your space! Plus, coastal-themed decor including beachy lamps and rattan table settings perfectly complement that Hamptons theme – without blowing your budget!

#1. Always choose experienced Hamptons house builders to erect your home

The first step on your home design journey is to choose an experienced builder with stunning Hamptons house designs in their portfolio.

On the outside, Hamptons-style homes are adorned with features like masonry columns, pediments and ox-eye windows, as well as external walls with battens or cladding (weatherboards) for a seaside vibe. Natural textures like marble and stone characterise the interior design. These natural textures require a keen eye to implement properly, so choosing the right Hamptons house builders is essential for your build. 

At Montgomery Homes, you can explore a fully-realised Hamptons display home from our range, including the Whitehaven 238, Brighton 229, Riviera 1 267, and the Avoca 210 available in different colours and designs to suit your unique sense of style.

#2. Create a Hamptons-themed mood board for inspiration

The next step is to visualise your Hamptons home decor and start planning!

Consider the colour scheme and finishes you’ve chosen for your interior design, then start browsing through Pinterest and our Inspiration Gallery for home decor ideas. We recommend building a mood board or portfolio of looks, textures, homewares, and more, so you can see these looks combined and guide your homeware shopping for the future.

#3. Choose neutral coloured furniture & earthy textures...

Hamptons decor is all about natural, earthy textures and tones. In our Avoca 210 display home in Huntlee, North Rothbury, you’ll find white stone benchtops, white and grey cabinets, dark timber floorboards, and 100% neutral colours like white, brown, and a contrasting black to modernise the style.

You can complement your Hamptons home decor with textured natural features such as:

  • Textured wooden furniture like dining tables, coffee tables, beds and bedside tables

  • Ocean-themed knick knacks like beachwood, discarded nets, aging anchors, and lifebuoys

  • Soft, natural-feeling fibres like linen curtains, throw blankets and tassels for texture

#4. ...Or choose a darker colour scheme to make your Hamptons home decor really pop!

While traditional beach homes are characterised by the “au naturale” look, it’s not an absolute essential. You can still achieve your dream Hamptons house design with a darker, more “luxe” look featuring navy blue and matte black! 

Our Riviera 267 display home in Redbank, North Richmond, is teeming with contrasting elements like stunning white walls and dark navy furniture as well as matte black tables and chair settings, rose gold tapware, and stone benchtops. The navy, black, and white colour scheme creates a contemporary atmosphere without sacrificing the classic warmth associated with Hamptons styling.

Consider decorating with Hamptons home decor like black or navy pillows, throw blankets with navy and white stripes, lots of indoor plants, and metal appliances like lamps and tapware.
