The Hamptons Style
The Hamptons style is one that has been popular since the 50s and 60s, with its relaxed and elegant vibe. It's also a very easy look to achieve thanks to the prevalence of white furniture in many homes. It's also great for people who don't have huge amounts of space because it looks so clean and spacious. Benjamin Moore has the perfect colour palette to inspire your makeover!
White is the main colour to use, with pops of colour
White is a classic and versatile colour. It's easy to work with, and it can be used in so many different ways. It is also a clean and fresh choice, making it the perfect option for summer. Benjamin Moore’s White Dove OC-17 is a classic, beautiful, safe white predominantly used on trim but used on walls to make spaces look bigger and brighter.
White can be used as an accent or main colour. Add pops of colour by using pillows or furniture that have other colours on them! You could even add greenery into your design by using plants.
Whites are great because you can add any accent colours to make it stand out more without overdoing things.
Benjamin Moore’s Super White OC-152 is the perfect example of a crisp bright white you would expect to find on cabinetry in a Hamptons style home.
Add some colour with airy blues and greens
If you're looking to add some flair to the room, then consider adding a few statement pieces such as a lampshade or wall art. These will ensure that your living room is still stylish but not too fussy!
If you don't have a lot of natural light, adding mirrors around the room will help bounce the light around making the space feel bigger and brighter.
The classic style of the Hamptons homes means that you can opt for timeless furniture pieces such as sofas, tables and armchairs in natural materials and fabrics, rather than what's on-trend. A relaxing colour palette of white and blue will also make this space feel more homely and less formal. Pair Benjamin Moore’s Bahamian Sea Blue 2055-40 with a classic white to emulate the feeling of a sea breeze wafting through your home.
Paint is a great way to add colour
If you want to change the look of your living room without spending too much money on furniture or renting an interior designer, then paint the answer! It will give your room a whole new look without having to replace any furniture – just use these tips above and enjoy!
