The Hamptons style kitchen originated in the affluent seaside communities of the Hamptons, east of New York City. People are drawn to the coastal, relaxed vibe that these kitchens radiate, and it’s little wonder this design style appeals to Australian homeowners. Hamptons style kitchens are defined by an elegant and relaxed coastal aesthetic often incorporating light colours, sumptuous detailing, steel highlights and natural materials such as marble benchtops. It’s a style that is well suited to stainless steel appliances (Wolf & Sub-Zero) and traditional taps (like Perrin & Rowe).
