How To Hamptons Your Home

Summer is in full swing and there’s no better destination to visit this year than the Hamptons. This prestigious enclave, located on the eastern end of Long Island is known for many things but especially its gorgeous homes. The Hamptons look is very specific. Interior designer Jennifer Beek Hunter describes the locale’s aesthetic as effortlessly chic. “We love that the Hamptons can go from the beach to a swanky dinner party. The best thing about Hamptons style is that it is timeless and only gets better with age.”

But according to Hampton’s tastemaker and hostess of the Hamptons Interactive Brunch, Vanessa Gordon, the Hamptons look isn’t just one thing: “Though perhaps famous for its opulence and grand appearance, the Hamptons is unique in the sense that you can have the best of both worlds: the seaside cottage with splashes of white, blues and neutral beige tones and the modern/contemporary mansions that are being built south of the highway,” she says. “These modern mega homes are breezy and spacious with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, and white oak flooring. There is a focus on function and simplicity with vibrant works of art from local and international artists that bring the home to life.”
