A Coastal Classic That Never Goes Out of Style

When it comes to timeless home designs, few styles have captured hearts quite like the Hamptons. Originally inspired by the relaxed beach houses of Long Island’s Hamptons region, this look has made its way to Australia, where the coastal lifestyle and love of open, breezy spaces are a perfect match.

At Chross, we know that a truly custom home should reflect your style, your lifestyle, and the way you want to live. Whether you are drawn to the classic Hamptons look or want to add a modern twist, our team can work with you to create a home that feels just right.

What is a Hamptons Style Home?

Hamptons style homes bring together a relaxed coastal feel with a touch of understated elegance. Think bright, sunlit spaces, white walls, wooden exteriors, soft neutral tones, natural textures, and details that feel both luxurious and lived-in.

While the look started as a series of holiday homes along the American East Coast, its charm lies in its ability to feel timeless, adaptable, and incredibly welcoming, making it a natural fit for Australian living.

The Australian-Hamptons style is normally smaller than the original. But it pays hommage through it’s design cues.

Key Elements of Hamptons Style Design

Soft, Coastal Colour Palettes

A Hamptons palette is all about light and calm. Expect whites, off-whites, soft greys and touches of muted blues. These colours help to create a sense of space, openness and tranquillity ideal for Perth’s bright, sunny climate.

Timber and Natural Materials

Flooring often features wide timber boards in natural or whitewashed finishes. Weatherboard, and wall panelling such as wainscoting or vertical boards brings texture and a hint of traditional charm. Stone benchtops, linen fabrics and light timbers complete the look with warmth and authenticity.

Open, Airy Layouts

Hamptons homes are made for easy, breezy living. Open-plan layouts connect kitchens, dining areas and living spaces, flowing out to alfresco areas perfect for Perth’s outdoor lifestyle. Large windows, French doors and high ceilings keep everything feeling light and open.

Statement Features

From decorative kitchen cabinetry to pendant lighting, the Hamptons style is about thoughtful detail. Feature fireplaces, deep verandahs and custom joinery add character and a sense of craftsmanship to the design.

Why Hamptons Style Works So Well in Perth

Perth’s coastal lifestyle pairs effortlessly with the Hamptons look. The emphasis on natural light, fresh air and outdoor living fits our way of life beautifully. Whether you are building on a larger block or working with a more compact space, Hamptons style homes adapt easily, offering both relaxed living and timeless street appeal.

It is also a flexible style — you can lean into a more classic, traditional look, or bring in more contemporary finishes for a slightly modern coastal feel.
