A bathroom that combines both luxury and serenity is a dream for many homeowners. With its elegant, coastal charm, the Hamptons-style bathroom offers the perfect inspiration for such a sanctuary. This design effortlessly blends sophistication with a relaxed, beachy feel, making it ideal for creating a serene retreat in your home. In this post, we’ll explore how you can achieve this coveted look.
The Essentials of a Hamptons-Style Bathroom
Hamptons-style bathrooms are characterized by their light, airy spaces that evoke feelings of tranquility and leisure. This look hinges on a neutral color palette, accented with soft blues, greys, and the occasional hint of sage green—reminiscent of the ocean and sky. The foundation of the Hamptons aesthetic is white or off-white, creating a bright and spacious feel. To capture the essence of Hamptons style, incorporate these colors in your bathroom remodel through paint, tiling, and accessories.
Choosing the Right Features and Fixtures
The visual allure of a Hamptons-style bathroom is in its fixtures and features. Opt for freestanding baths as the centerpiece; their curvaceous forms lend a classic and luxurious look, inviting relaxation. When it comes to showers, a spacious, glass-enclosed walk-in with a rainfall showerhead emphasizes the Hamptons’ hallmark of indulgence and ease. For vanities, the timeless Shaker-style cabinets in white are the ideal choice. Pair this with marble or quartz countertops and undermount sinks to underscore the luxurious feel.
Lighting and Windows
A defining trait of the Hamptons style is the abundance of natural light, making generous-sized windows a must-have feature in your bathroom renovation. White plantation shutters not only control privacy and light but also add to the aesthetic charm. For bathrooms lacking in natural light, a carefully positioned skylight can recreate the bright and airy Hamptons atmosphere.
Tile and Flooring Choices
Flooring and wall tiles play a significant role in achieving the Hamptons look. Opt for classic choices like Carrara or Calacatta marble for floor tiles, or embrace the charm of patterned mosaic tiles for splashbacks. A popular wall tile choice is the subway tile, offering a clean, crisp background. Whether you select matte or glossy finishes, ensure the color palette remains neutral and light.
Tapware and Hardware
The details in tapware and hardware can make or break a Hamptons-style bathroom. Brushed brass, brushed nickel, and chrome finishes are excellent choices for adding a touch of understated luxury. These finishes beautifully complement the neutral palette while adding warmth and sophistication to your home remodel. Evoking the Hamptons’ luxurious yet laid-back vibe, these selections should be consistent in finish and design, from the faucets to cabinet handles and towel bars.
