Within the interior design world, 'modern' and 'Hamptons' are rarely used in the same sentence. However, Modern Hamptons is an increasingly popular style that's worthy of attention.
If you like things simple and striking, the Modern Hamptons look is for you. It's cleaner, crisper and a little more 'masculine' than traditional Hamptons style, and will appeal to those who want to embrace a more minimalist or monochromatic look, without forgoing timeless design characteristics.
THE FEATURES
You can spot a Modern Hamptons home by its exterior colour palette. From charcoal to deep navy or solid black, weatherboards get a moody makeover [weatherboards, such as Hardie, Linea, Primeline and Stria, all by James Hardie, can be painted in a colour palette of your choice]. Trims remain finished in a classic white for a sensational contrast. Other external features - balustrades, fencing and doors, for example, are less detailed and more square in design. Window details lack beading like their traditional counterparts. There's nothing overcomplicated about the Modern Hamptons home.
