Modern Hamptons Style Kitchen
Designing a Hamptons kitchen? Want to know what makes a good Hamptons style kitchen?
Personal taste and preference obviously play a huge part in answering the question ‘What makes the perfect Hamptons style kitchen?’. However, we have put together a shortlist based on our super popular Hamptons display homes, which have been carefully curated by our expert interior design team.
What is a Hamptons Style Kitchen?
A Hamptons style kitchen is inspired by the relaxed coastal elegance of the Hamptons in New York. This kitchen style is defined by light, airy spaces with a sophisticated yet casual feel, featuring white or neutral cabinetry, natural materials, and detailed finishes like shaker-style cabinets and classic hardware. Hamptons kitchens often incorporate high-quality materials such as stone benchtops and glass-fronted cabinets to create a timeless, inviting space perfect for both cooking and entertaining. The style is versatile enough to adapt to modern influences while retaining its classic charm, making it a popular choice for Australian homes.
To help you narrow down your key selection items, here are the key components which are at the top of our list for a modern Hamptons inspired kitchen:
Hamptons Style Cabinets
Shaker-style cabinetry is a must! At Coral Homes, we offer Laminex’s ‘Settler’ profile with a satin finish to create this look. As an additional touch of Hamptons luxury, you could even do your upper cabinetry with clear glass! Cabinets with clear glass are becoming more popular because they are great for displaying and illuminating your kitchenware and décor items in a versatile manner and enable you to see directly into the cabinet while looking brilliant.
You can visit or take a virtual tour of our Boston 393Q on display at Newport in Brisbane QLD to see what clear glass uppers look like in a home and how to display all your items.
Normally, cabinetry in a Hamptons kitchen is all white; however, a more modern twist is to have the lower cabinets and/or the island bench in a dark grey or blue for an additional pop of colour.
Hamptons Cabinet Handles or ‘Hardware’
The absolute ‘go-to’ hardware to create the Hamptons look is the traditional combination of the ‘mushroom’ and the ‘cup pulls’ handles on your cabinets.
Although anything with a bit of flourish and a traditional look will do for the Hamptons style… depending on what you prefer, of course!
At Coral Homes, most of our Hamptons displays feature the Traditional Shell 64mm D369 (cup pull) and the Knob 29.8mm DK1357 (mushroom), both from Kethy.
These are available in a variety of colours, with the most popular being polished chrome or satin chrome (a less shiny version). In more recent times, you will also start to see hardware coming through in matt black. This creates a striking contrast to white cabinetry and adds a touch of modernity to your Hamptons kitchen.

Hamptons Benchtops
You can’t go past Caesarstone® for benchtops in regard to quality, durability, and a variety of on-trend colours for you to choose from. The colour Georgian Bluffs from Caesarstone’s Deluxe range is a very popular choice with our expert interior designers, and this colour can be seen across a number of our display homes with a Hamptons or the more relaxed Coastal décor.
Traditionally, the benchtop is either mainly white or off-white in colour, and Caesarstone® offers a large variety of options in their range with different types of veins to choose from.
