The document provides a style guide for the Classic Hamptons style. It describes the Hamptons as a coastal summer retreat area north of New York known for its wealthy residents. The Classic Hamptons style features neutral tones like white paired with light oak, coastal patterns in blues and stripes, and clean lines. It emphasizes large furniture, linen fabrics, and architectural details like weatherboard siding, painted windows, and coffered ceilings to achieve a relaxed yet sophisticated beach aesthetic.

2. We believe your home is the ultimate
way to express yourself.
Your style is not merely measured by the
colour of the walls or new carpet.
It’s an expression of what’s
important to you.

3. Situated north of New York, this is the summer
retreat for the rich and famous. A coastal destination
for relaxation and respite from the busy
Manhattan streets.
The Classic Hamptons style is timeless and never
goes off trend. It can be perceived as a casual
relaxing beach look, but it’s actually more classic
and sophisticated.
It has calming neutral tones of white-on-white
paired with light oak timbers.
Dreamy, soft textures and accented white furniture,
both inside the home and out.
Large scale furniture, clean lines and
linen sofas for maximum comfort.
Coastal influences with summer patterned tones of
duck egg blue, lemon and traditional stripes.
This is one of the world’s most
desirable styles.
