The famous Hamptons style has taken the Australian interior design world by storm, and we know exactly why – the fresh colour palette of whites and neutrals, soft fabrics, natural textures, ocean inspired blues and solid materials like teak and oak work beautifully in Australian homes.
The Hamptons look brings relaxed but refined coastal atmosphere with oversized sofas for lounging, elegant coffee tables for gathering and entertaining, and of course spacious armchairs for extra comfort. Hampton style arm chairs are an integral part of the living room for a couple of reasons. Besides the obvious aspects of functionality and livability, they can create a sense of symmetry and tie the overall room design together. With Hampton style arm chairs you can create an inviting ambience in your living room or build yourself an oasis of relaxation with a reading nook.
As Hampton style arm chairs come in many styles and shapes, they are an opportunity for personal expression and a great way to show your individuality. Whether you want to mix and match them with your decor or make a statement in your living room, armchairs offer more than just extra seating
The Hamptons style is inspired by the coastline in Long Island, New York. Reminding of the summer vacation destination of wealthy New Yorkers, the Hamptons style combines relaxed beach style with sophistication and elegance.
The Hamptons style is all about keeping in clean and elegant to create an open atmosphere and depth. With white walls and neutral shades, you can create a beautifully base and playground for Hamptons interior. Natural or whitewashed hardwood floors, large windows with white frames and shutters and linen curtains all add warmth to the clean atmosphere of the white.
When it comes to Hamptons furniture, generosity is key. Think of beach resorts with oversized white sofas in washable linen slipcovers. Decorated with blue striped cushions and framed by upholstered or woven armchairs. Sideboards and entertainment units in natural or white finishing add extra dimension to your Hamptons living room. While side and coffee tables made from glass and metal enhance a sense of luxury.
To complement the Hamptons style decor, items like iron pendant lights, sisal rugs, linen or fabric table lamps and china blues are ideal. As well as a lot of cushions layered in similar shades and various sizes is the perfect combination of comfort and class.
A special – if not even the most important – part of the Hamptons design are Hampton style arm chairs. Compared to regular armchairs, they differ in their spacious seating and exquisite materials. We have compiled an overview of what types of armchairs work well in a Hamptons home.
For a traditional style with lots of comfort, wingback armchairs are the perfect choice. It’s an upholstered accent chair characterised by a high back and “wings” attached to it. Ideally, the frame is made of solid wood or cane and combined with soft cotton or natural linen.
The Toulouse armchair is a combination of European and South-East Asian influences. The exquisite designed of carved timber and handwoven rattan makes it a luxurious piece of interior. Available with grey or natural cushions, it blends easily into a Hamptons home.
A more classic design provides the Belfort armchair. The fully-upholstered style paired with generously holstered seat and back cushions guarantees casual comfort while adding a relaxed ambience to the space.
Upholstered armchairs often come in modern shapes of easy chair or club chair. They all are defined by the sink-in silhouette – a comfortable seat you can sit in for hours. Besides the deep-seated comfort, they come with supportive rounded or well-padded arm rests. These chairs suit both comfortable family living and formal entertainment.
The Sassoon Armchair offers deep-seated comfort combined with elegant aesthetics. It suits comfortable family living as well as formal entertainment. Modern features like a solid hardwood frame, fully upholstery with loose seat and back cushions and tapered metal feet make it a timeless and versatile addition to any living room.
A must for the traditional Hamptons style is the Simonata armchair. Typical oversized seating, soft cushions and easy to maintain slipcovers make the Simonata to one of our bestselling armchairs. Let it float alone in the room, or paired it with the matching sofa for a larger seating ensemble.
Armchairs made of cane or rattan are a perfect way to add some natural texture to a Hamptons living room. They look great paired with a white sofa and linen fabrics. For a touch of luxury, you can opt for black painted rattan.
The Orient Bay cane armchair has a refined, yet simple design. Removable seat and back cushions ensure great comfort. And the best, due to the light and weather resistant material it’s easy to move and gives you an extra seating option outdoors if needed.
The perfect touch of luxury for Hamptons living – the Calais easy chair in classic black. The contemporary look of generous handwoven rattan makes it a beautiful statement, while the solid wood frame provides long-lasting quality.
With so many available designs, shapes, and colours, it can be tricky to narrow down the perfect armchair for your Hamptons style living room. Let’s have a look at how you can incorporate Hamptons style arm chairs into your home. A good starting point is to think about the function and how the armchair will be used.
Crafted with an elegant minimalism, the Saint Malo range works well in a formal seating arrangement. It offers superior sink-in comfort and a clean, elegant design which can be easily be combined with modern as well as classic interior. A dressmaker-style slipcover gives it its luxurious silhouette while maintaining easy cleaning.
Pair it with black furniture, like the Shabelo coffee table or Calais rattan side table, for a modern, luxury Hamptons style. Both set a beautiful contrast along white upholstery, either due to an interesting shape or natural textures.
Nautical blue accents are a key feature of the Hamptons look. Armchairs in all kind of blue shades offer soothing contrast to cool Hamptons white. A soft Hamptons blue or darker Indigo tone can calm the atmosphere in the room, while a bright blue colour can set a great focal point in the room. But remember to use shades in moderation to ensure a harmonious look and feel.
White interior like classic Hamptons Sideboards and clean, simple side tables are here the right match for blue armchairs. Complete the Hamptons look with our Frejac Side Table. It features the classic Hamptons distinguishing features like cross-details, fine shadow lines and a flared top. A lower shelf offers additional space for baskets or magazines.
For something special but no less timeless, Malawi armchairs feature refined curves inviting natural textures and incredible comfort into your living room. The light weight of rattan allows simple moving within the room and gives you the flexibility of rearranging the living setting.

The Henwick range is a combination of classic, crisp white designs paired with natural rattan baskets for the warmth touch. It’s available as coffee table, sideboard and buffet.
In short: The Hamptons style is casual elegance. The interior scheme should be light, designed in a neutral colour palette like white or beige with a settle accent of blue. Furniture of classical shapes and designs work best. Upholstered sofas paired with Hampton style arm chairs are the key to Hamptons aesthetics and the holiday feels.
