Sounds inviting, right? Below you will find some practical tips on how to decorate a bedroom in hamptons style.
Decorating a bedroom in the hamptons style is not difficult and does not have to be very expensive. It is enough to focus on a few simple style principles to get a comfortable bedroom with unique character and class!
Wall color is the first dilemma faced by anyone embarking on a bedroom renovation. The hamptons style dictates muted colors in muted shades. White (albeit slightly distressed, such as sea foam white), shades of sand and blues are perfect.
Remember, however, that bleached wall colors do not exclude clear single color accents – navy blue, turquoise, graphite and even red will add character and fierceness to a hamptons style bedroom!
In a bedroom decorated in the hamptons style, you should find furniture made of wood. This is best done in natural, light colors or in shades of white and sand. Remember that this is a classic style. Furniture must have simple forms, without unnecessary ornaments.
The Hamptons are all about expansive beaches, so the style is very much about open spaces. Therefore, when decorating your bedroom in the Hamptons style, do not go overboard with the accessories. Let them be in strong colors, as we mentioned above, but do not have too many of them. A few decorative elements will be enough – a beautiful ceramic vase, a decorative shell (after all, it is a seaside style!), a colorful pillow and a blanket.
When decorating a bedroom in the hamptons style, you cannot overdo with accessories. However, it doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be any at all. Apart from the vases, pillows and shells suggested earlier, you should also bet on curtains – necessarily made of natural materials, such as cotton or linen.
Do you like to put your feet up on a soft rug when you get out of bed in the morning? A soft carpet will complement your hamptons style bedroom perfectly. But make sure it doesn’t take up the whole floor, which in a hamptons style bedroom should be wooden.
Do you like plants? Place one or two potted plants in your bedroom. Or perhaps add some colour to your walls? Graphics with a plant theme, which you can place in wooden frames, will perfectly emphasize the character of the bedroom in the hamptons style!
