If you’re looking for a serene and elegant home that expresses your style and personality, the Hamptons interior design style may be perfect for you. Inspired by breezy, coastal luxury, this style combines relaxed coastal living with classic sophistication. And what’s at its heart? A crisp, clean palette of blue and white. Whether you live by the ocean or in the city, here’s how you can give your home that signature Hamptons charm—starting with soft furnishings and subtle accents.
The charm of blue and white
The Hamptons style is synonymous with a calm, fresh color palette. It combines shades of blue and white in a stylish way. Think white walls, ivory upholstery, and touches of navy or sky blue. This palette reflects a coastal landscape—soft sand, foamy waves, and clear skies.
To capture this look in your home:
• Start with a white base—white or off-white walls make any space feel larger and brighter.
• Layer in blues for depth—use different shades of blue in your accessories. Pillows, vases, throws, or wall hangings will create visual interest without overwhelming the space.

Give your sofa a seaside makeover
A simple and inexpensive way to transform your living room into a Hamptons masterpiece is to update your sofa covers. Pure Linen, Premium Cotton or Corduroy Covers in white, cream, soft mint or other shades of blue are perfect for creating a casual, beachy feel. Check out Corduroy Blue-Grey, Corduroy Cream, Premium Cotton Lake Blue and Velvet Blue Couch Covers – these are perfectly mirroring the Hamptons style!
Top tips:
• Choose the right cover for your sofa – this is key to making it look great.
• Choose a cover in white or blue for a casual, seaside feel.
• Add a mix of solid and striped patterns for a distinctive nautical touch. If you have a white cover, choose cushion covers in blue – and vice versa.
• Polyester Marine cushion covers are also great – they are the epitome of a nautical feel that goes perfectly with Hamptons style.

Pillows that stand out
Pillows are the unsung heroes of home decor, especially in Hamptons-inspired interiors. They add comfort, style, and an easy way to play with textures and patterns. Go for a mix of:
• Nautical stripes, with Polyester Marine covers.
• Delicate florals, preferably in soft colors, not necessarily just white or blue – it’s good to have another color to break it up, like a soft pastel pink.
• Soft, textured fabrics like cotton, linen, or petite polyester.
Stick to a white and blue palette, but don’t be afraid to add a touch of beige or soft gray or pastel pink to tone it down.
Decorative details matter
Hamptons-style interiors focus on quality, not clutter. Every decorative element should have purpose—but think timeless, not just trendy.
Try these accents:
• Natural elements like wood, jute rugs, and woven baskets
• Glass or ceramic vases in coastal hues
• Framed beach photos or nautical-inspired artwork
• White lanterns or candles to add a soft evening glow
