Hamptons style furniture is as popular as ever. It’s been years since the East Coast American style first swept the world of interiors and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. These layered spaces take cues from coastal colour palettes, natural materials and an appreciation for the luxe things in life. As the weather warms up in Australia, it’s the perfect time to take our love of this aesthetic into our backyards.

Since this style encourages a smooth connection between indoor and outdoor zones, it makes sense that Hamptons style furniture looks perfectly in place in our alfresco areas, from dining to lounges and more.
