LOVING HAMPTONS STYLE

There are easy ways to get the look and feel of a beautiful beach house wherever you live.

• Dial down the colour. Calming whites, blues, greys and neutrals are a natural fit with this style.

• Furnish or accessorise with timeless pieces – don’t follow the latest decorating fads! And think natural for materials — rustic timbers, woven floor cushions and jute rugs, you get the picture.

• Maximise natural light with a soaring roofline, large picture windows and bi-fold or French doors.
