Blues
Just like the ocean, using different tones of blues across home décor and soft furnishings can create a calm and soothing atmosphere at home. For cushions, traditional stripes give off a nautical theme, but don’t be afraid to try other prints and patterns.

Neutrals
If you are a bit weary of using colour, then consider styling with a neutral colour scheme for a sophisticated Hamptons vibe. Try playing with different textures, natural materials, and layering for a relaxed but sophisticated look. Look for cushions with different weaves, shaggy, braided and with tactile trims. Cover lounges and bed ends with throws in linens, mohair and cottons.

Look for decor that can work together in clusters when styling a sideboard or console. Use texture and shades of whites, beige and cream for an appealing and harmonious look. Wall art can be a simple but striking way to bring a room to life and add another point of interest.
