The Hamptons never go out of style.
As the getaway destination of choice for New York’s elite, this seaside holiday hotspot embodies relaxed elegance and coastal chic all year round. And while the Hamptons are reserved for the lucky few, its style is accessible to many — provided you know how to achieve the look in your home.
From the outdoor area to the living and dining room, each space in a Hamptons home is carefully curated for maximum style and comfort…and none is as integral to relaxation than the bedroom. Follow these five tips to style a Hamptons-style bedroom that’s so snug, it’ll be hard to leave.
Stick with neutral foundations
Like any Hamptons home, the bedroom should be a sanctuary for blissful nights of sleep and lazy morning lie-ins. To achieve this, you have to start by creating a room that’s as stylish as it is comfortable.
Start with a light and neutral colour palette as the foundation of your bedroom, with shades of white, cream, beige, and light grey. These hues give the room a fresh and airy feel, while also opening up the space to feel larger and more inviting.
Go light and breezy on the textiles
Whether it’s the bedding or the curtains, light and breezy fabrics are key to any Hamptons-style bedroom — and if there’s any fabric that’s synonymous with the Hamptons, it’s linen.
Linen exudes laidback luxury and slots seamlessly into any coastal home with neutral hues and natural textiles. Pair crisp linen bedding with sheer curtains and a light throw to achieve the effortless chic look that Hamptons bedrooms are known for.
Add feature elements with bone inlay
One of the trickiest parts of styling a Hamptons-inspired bedroom is balancing the light and airy feel with pieces that add visual interest. Fortunately, there’s a solution that originates from the other side of the globe: bone inlay furniture.
Crafted by artisans in India using time-honoured techniques, this gorgeous bedroom furniture features ethically sourced camel bone, affixed in an intricate pattern by hand.
Pieces like the Roma bedside table meld perfectly into the Hamptons aesthetic, whilst also being utterly unique and delivering a striking style statement. Alternatively, minimise clutter and add extra storage space with the Roma Bone Inlay 3 Chest of Drawers.
5. Go beyond the bed
The bedroom is a place to rest — but the functions of a Hamptons-style bedroom extend far beyond just restful slumber. Turn your bedroom into a space where you can unwind and rejuvenate your mind and body with a dedicated reading nook and relaxation zone.
A simple accent chair can transform any corner from drab to designer in mere minutes. We love the Fortuna Armchair or Venice Armchair for coastal bedrooms thanks to the combination of neutral hues and natural materials. For added privacy, bring in a room divider.
