I know what you are thinking, there are so many Hampton kitchen guides and that is very true! but I love to be helpful where I can so I am bringing a easy to follow guide to modern Hamptons kitchen that will hopefully bring a painful process into an easy creation.

Below I will break it down into 5 quick fire topics that cover the entire modern Hamptons kitchen look with lots of pretty pictures.

• Cabinets
• Benchtops
• Splashbacks
• Décor

Modern Hamptons Colour Scheme

Lets get started a modern Hamptons kitchen to me is all about colour. When I say I really just mean variations of light and dark blues.

While incorporating a hint of the Classic Hamptons style, the usual fresh white cupboards and trims are best to contrast dark colours, but if it is a little impact you seek like most 2020’s renovators you will thrown in some dark blues or green tones as an impact.

Think all white with a cabinet or few cabinets in that bold blue tone of your choice or baby blue below.

Below is the basic colour patterns for finishes and paint tones for a modern Hamptons colour scheme to help best guide you.

Cabinet Finishes For Hamptons Kitchens In Australia

The main element of every Hamptons style kitchen is feature cabinetry, most often Shaker style doors or other similar minimalist styles.

These door profiles though expensive can be a stunning feature to any kitchen.

Kitchen cabinetry finishes ranging from vinyl wrap, two pack paint and solid timber.

For a true Hamptons style look, we would recommend steering way clear of any ultra-high gloss cabinetry finishes and instead opting for either a matte, satin or semi-gloss sheen level that will contribute to creating that true Hamptons style in your home

Hampton Kitchen Benchtops

When it comes to modern Hampton benchtops we move away from the proper marble benchtops.

What I mean by this is marble benchtop would be lovely but not all of us have 10 thousand dollars or want the stress of sealing real marble so the engineered stone is the modern Hampton benchtop

Marble look engineered stone is super popular and not the cheapest but something like the Statuario Maximus from Caesarstone looks identical to marble without the cost and sealing stress.

Modern Splashbacks For Hampton Kitchens

There are two types of modern Hampton splashbacks for kitchens using Hampton styles they are the ceramic feature or the benchtop into splashback.

Benchtop splashbacks are when you spend a little money running the benchtop up the splashback for a flowing finish.

This style is the more costly of the two but can create a really organic feel to the kitchen space.

The other is the tiled splashback which is the most popular due to the cost and what you can create.

Tiled Hampton splashbacks can be installed in the traditional subway or modern herringbone style to create a stunning feature under $1000 and who does not love that.

Hamptons Kitchens With Modern Décor

Two items are considered Hamptons décor that is the pendant lightings and the stpp;s

Pendant lights often are most effective in both function and visual impact when installed over an island bench, pendant light fixtures can also be included as a centrepiece in a larger ‘U’-shaped kitchen, filling in any potential open areas and providing a central ambient lighting solution.

For a Hamptons-style kitchen choose statement metal, woven cane and ceramic pendant lights in a large format. 

Hampton stools are more of a classic beachy or scandi style kitchen as the combine whites or timber features to create a natural but luxe feels to your kitchen with the stools often being the stars.

Final Thoughts

The Hamptons style of interior design offers a light, breezy and sophisticated approach that will provide a timeless elegance in your home making it a perfect fit for a classy kitchen.

Modern Hamptons kitchens take away from all modern concepts but add that classic feel to feel a kitchen looking for timeless class.

The difference between Hamptons and beachy coastal kitchens is the finish on the cabinets and the more classic feel.

We break down the two most popular other kitchen styles below the SCANDI and the Beachy Coastal Kitchens.
