Light and Breezy

To build the base of your room, look for pieces that scream summer, like rattan chairs and linen cushions. We especially love ones that allow for light and air to flow freely, like this pendant lamp below. Just be careful not to go overboard, and balance the woven pieces with sturdier basics.

Beachy Elegance

Whether you’re an expert sailor or you’ve never set foot in anything bigger than a paddle boat, these nautical details will complement all styles. Go for a bold statement with a rustic wood oar or add a subtly ocean-inspired look with a collection of sea glass vases. The Hamptons are a summer escape, so keep things playful when translating this style into your own home.

Classic Yet Comfortable

If the word “Hamptons” instantly makes you think “preppy,” you’re not far off. Styles that are clean, classic, and most importantly, comfortable, are the foundation of this style. Basics like a neutral sofa or a tufted bed are the building blocks for an effortlessly chic room. Add in beachy accent pieces and lightweight linens and your Hamptons-styled room is complete!
