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.
