Hamptons is an architecture style inspired by the prestigious beach houses along New York’s famous Hamptons coastline. The classic Hampton’s home is predominantly white, has a nautical theme, and has a relaxing and clean appeal.
In Australia, the Hamptons style has evolved to include features and characteristics to suit the harsh Aussie climate, and our relaxed lifestyle. Aussie Hamptons is a blend of coastal and country décor styles, with some modern elements.
The essence of Australian Hamptons style is a contemporary home that is light and open. Usually built around large open spaces for outdoor entertainment, it’s a style that seeks to embrace the Australian way of life.

Lysaght supplies a large range of traditional style rainwater goods including gutters, downpipes and rainheads specifically suited to Hamptons projects. These products are important details that will either need to blend in, or contrast, to your roofing or brickwork.
Colour is a key part of the Hamptons aesthetic. A typical Hamptons design features white or light grey cladding, with a white roof, gutters, and fascia. However, contemporary trends have allowed for a more relaxed take on the traditional Hamptons colour palette.
Use shades of white and grey for the main structure, but for the accents, use soft colours that mirror the natural environment. This could include colours such as soft blues, eucalyptus green or earthy linen shades.
