3 Min Read

The Hamptons have always been synonymous with elegant coastal living, but Summer 2025 is bringing a fresh wave of design inspiration that feels both elevated and effortlessly relaxed. This season’s trends blend timeless beach house charm with modern sensibilities—perfect for creating spaces that are as stylish as they are summer-ready. 

Ideal for crafting interiors that are equal parts chic and summer-ready, these Brown Harris Stevens listings throughout the Hamptons capture the season’s top design trends with effortless elegance.

Woven & Weathered

Natural materials are at the forefront this season. Designers are embracing the imperfect beauty of handwoven rattan, raw-edge wood, and weathered stone. Furniture and decor pieces feel artisanal and tactile, celebrating craftsmanship and a slower pace of life.

Coastal Neutrals with a Twist

Classic whites and sandy beiges remain staples, but this summer, they’re being paired with unexpected accent colors—think seafoam green, cornflower blue, or sun-faded coral. These soft, sun-washed hues add depth without overpowering the breezy palette.

Indoor-Outdoor Flow

In true Hamptons fashion, homes are blurring the line between inside and out. Retractable glass walls, breezy linen drapes, and seamless transitions to patios and pool areas allow the ocean air and golden light to flow through every room.

Coastal Charm & Cottage-esque

A trend that will never go out of style, the timelessness of coastal cottage charm is best embodied by the homes that line the Hamptons shores. With natural driftwood accents that bring a weathered, beachy feel to the cedarwood decks that surround quaint and relaxing pool areas, it often merges the luxury of the Hamptons with an aestethic that feels like home.

Coastal Grandmillennial

A charming twist on traditional Hamptons decor, this trend brings back vintage-inspired elements like natural wood elements, locally-sourced tables, and fun prints—layered thoughtfully with more contemporary pieces for a look that’s classic, but not stuffy.

Art-Forward Interiors

Beach houses are becoming personal galleries. Homeowners are curating collections of local art, ceramic sculptures, and abstract photography that reflect the natural beauty of the East End. It’s all about storytelling and adding a sense of place to every room.
