Creating The Hamptons Style

__________

AUGUST 2021





When the movie 'Something's Gotta Give' starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton hit our screens, not only were we captivated by the movie but for a lot of us it was the house that grabbed most of our attention. We were introduced to a home that was inspired by life on and off the beach and 'The Hamptons Style' was born.

There is something very soothing and calming about using coastal colour schemes in our homes and as more of us venture forward to owning a holiday home close to the sea we need look no further than 'The Hamptons Look' for inspiration to create a wonderful backdrop in which to live.

To create this look, keeping to a neutral palette is essential - from soft whites to duck egg blues to denim blues. Given that the light in Ireland is not as bright or as soft in the US, be careful when choosing wall colours in particular whites. However, a great way of avoiding your walls being too stark or flat is to use textured wallcoverings - wallcoverings will add depth and immediately give a quietly luxurious finish to most schemes. Grasscloths in particular scream subtlety, luxury and sustainability because of their natural fibre content and offer an abundance of elegant colours that would work as a textural layer in a coastal style theme, reflecting sandy beaches and mimicking a driftwood look. Thibaut's Natural Resource 3 Collection contains The Cape May Weave Wallcovering (one of many options) – it is particularly charming and comes in particularly soft colourways including - Sage, Yarmouth Blue and Light Grey that lends themselves to creating the 'Hampton' vibe.

Textured Vinyls

If natural Grassclothes are not your thing but you like the idea of using a wallcovering rather than a flat paint finish and need something that will stand up to a busy summer coastal retreat - Thibaut's latest collection Texture Resource 7 is ideal. These textured vinyls are not only tactile by nature but extremely attractive and will add depth and dimension to your scheme. The Resource Collection is washable and an extremely practical choice for a busy home. Prairie is an excellent alternative to grasscloth, giving you the same textured look and glamourous finish in subtle colourways such as Straw, Aqua and Sea Blue.

Another particularly dynamic pattern from this range is Zion. Beautiful when used with neutral upholstery (Thibaut Prisma Linen / Cotton fabric) and driftwood pieces of furniture and combined with the sophisticated patterns in the Canopy Range of Fabrics by Thibaut.

Last but not least we shouldn't overlook the bedroom and how a coastal scheme can bring rest and relaxation at the end of a busy day. Our favourite choice of wallcovering from Thibaut for the bedroom is 'Geode'. It is first and foremost elegant and soft and the ombre effect stripes add to its subtle range of colour tones and again it's a practical choice when it comes to keeping it clean and fresh. Choose from the following colourways - Denim as shown, Fog and Spa Blue and team up with sumptuous linen and cotton fabrics from the Canopy Collection to create your luxuriously styled 'Hamptons Bedroom' in your home away from home. 

Happy Holidays!

Key Elements to Create your Hamptons Look...

  • Pattern Perfection - use a subtle seaside palette with cushions in similar hues (Canopy Collection) of colours ranging from duck egg to denim - using florals, stripes and paisley.
  • Use crisp colours on walls - soft whites and soft blues - textured wallcoverings.
  • Oversized furniture - neutral upholstery fabrics (Prisma Collection).
  • Mix Driftwood Style furniture alongside loved antique pieces.
  • Choose lighting carefully - lots of lamps.
  • Nautical knick-knacks look great - but don't over do it, be selective.
  • Be under no illusion the 'Hampton's Look' is carefully curated and considered and put together oh-so-carefully, so it looks effortless.

Enjoy!

New Product Launch at JEM Studio

JULY 2021

Les Dominotiers

At Jem Studio we are very excited to launch a new collection of wall murals in Ireland from the French Brand 'Les Dominotiers'. Founder Frank Halard and head of design Zoe Crait together have produced several Collections of Wall Murals that can be easily paired and beautifully layered to create an elegant, sophisticated and timeless interior.

These collections offer the interior designer both modern and classical choices – from the very bold colours and graphics in Volume 1 to the more bucolic and romantic scenes of what appears to be a 'Grand Tour' of the Continents in Volume 2. 'Les Dominotiers' wall murals can be used in both domestic and retail interiors as they will instantly add a focal point to any wall that needs the eye drawn to it or immediately be the centrepiece and talking point of an interior that needs an instant statement piece but on a grand scale.

Each collection of wall murals has been carefully researched and produced to a high standard using digital printing on a non-woven wallpaper. All wall murals in these collections can be customised – size, colour and composition. If you have any queries, please contact Jem Studio directly and arrange an appointment to view the 'Les Dominotiers' Wall Mural Collections. 
We look forward to your visit.
