I was excited to be recently invited to write a guest blogpost for Perini Tiles to provide my tips for How To Create A Hamptons Style Bathroom. Hamptons bathrooms are classic, elegant and timeless. I love that they can also be adaptable. With the addition of coloured towels, and bathroom accessories you can give them a fresh, new look.
If you are planning to design your Hamptons style bathroom, here are some ideas.
Subway Tiles
These are generally white or marble and as the name suggests, laid in a subway format.
Marble
Natural stone is commonly used for tiling (floor and/or wall), countertops or both. Marble tiles can be applied in various shapes such as hexagonal, basketweave and herringbone. In this ensuite I used a Carrara marble laid in a herringbone pattern as the floor tile.
Vanity
A Hamptons-style vanity is usually custom-built with a shaker style profile on the doors and drawers. Cabinet knobs or pulls are more often chrome or nickel-plated.
Sconce Lighting
Sconce lights are usually mounted on either side of the mirror or on the mirror itself. As well as providing additional lighting at the face level, they offer a softer ambience than downlights alone.
Wall Panelling
Walls, or sections of, can be panelled or sometimes wallpapered.
I like to panel the hob of a built in bath.
Neutral Colours
Hamptons-style bathrooms are a neutral colour such as white, grey or black and white.
Add colour through accessories, towels or even the mirror. I used these classic bone inlay blue and white mirrors in this bathroom. This colour pairing is always a classic.
Tapware
Tapware is generally chrome or nickel-plated and traditional in style.
To see how I designed my own Hamptons style ensuite, head (here). Please get in touch if you need help creating your dream bathroom, I would love to help.
