What Defines the Hamptons Coastal Style?
At its core, the Hamptons coastal style is inspired by the luxurious beach houses of Long Island, New York. It is characterised by:
- Clean lines and symmetrical design
- Light, neutral colour palettes dominated by whites, soft greys and coastal blues
- Natural textures and materials
- Generous verandas and outdoor living spaces
- Traditional detailing such as weatherboards and trim
The exterior plays a critical role in setting the tone, bringing together both Hamptons sophistication and relaxed coastal charm, and this is where Weathertex products excel.
Film forming varnishes are not recommended as these require a high amount of maintenance.
