Decorating - Hamptons Style

This month, we explore the casual, yet stylishly enduring light and airy ambiance of the Hamptons, a coastal region in the 

US featured in the TV drama Revenge. 

Known as the preferred vacation retreat for the New York elite, 

the Hamptons on Long Island is a home to many 

picturesque beach side homes – well mansions!

The idea starts here with these samples - beautiful linens

Architecturally infused with classical elegance, the interiors of these abodes owe much of their aura of relaxed luxury to the retrained use of colour, and careful selection of fabrics, textiles, furniture and accessories.

Everything starting to shape in the window display at Miraje!!

Colour-wise, everything is quite simple with whites off whites, pale neutrals teamed with accents of pale green, duck egg blue, light greys and grayish blues. These tranquil colours of similar tonal value give a feeling of spaciousness and evoke images of a cloudy misty day on the shore – quite like Cleveland lately.

Custom upholstery, cushions and curtains

Full length curtains in sheers floating in the breeze, or fully lined drapes for insulation are well suited. Blend them with your wall colour. Also Roman blinds in an interesting textile can feature. Cotton and lined fabrics in crisp white to soft natural hues contribute to the warmth, luxury and comfort.

Tieback tassels add that finishing touch

Add a plush upholstered linen sofa, a couple bespoke wing backs, some comfy cushions, as eclectic mix of beach nautical finds, woven baskets, rustic pieces, touches of wood and you can pretend you too are on holiday at the Hamptons.
