Stripes are a much loved decorating inclusion when it comes to the Hamptons genre. In fact, when many of us think about the grand estates in the Hamptons New York, one of the first images we visualise is the classic blue and white striped awnings over their incredible outdoor entertaining areas.

A stripe in a Hamptons interior is a safe choice as just about everyone would have to love the freshness and timeless vibe of a stripe or ticking pattern. It is understated, yet eye catching and instantly reminds us of the coast and of the holidays at the beach... It also adds colour and personality to a Hamptons background which is typically quite understated.
The choice of using stripe patterns in furnishings or soft furnishings is particularly popular for those Hamptons customers looking for a more modern Hamptons look and feel. These customers want to decorate in the more simple form of the Hamptons genre than some of our classic Hamptons lovers who are lean more towards some of the feminine floral soft furnishings we range.
Customers who love classic hamptons tend to lean more towards soft florals like our 'Bohemian blossom' cushion.
We have selected some of our favourite stripe products from this seasons range.
- Tweed round ottoman
This stripe round ottoman has been a customer favourite in the lounge or walk in wardrobe. This ticking pattern has been a best seller, demonstrating our affection for stripes! More of these are arriving this month and are available for preorder.

2. Capri or Justine cubes
These adorable cube ottoman are so practical and have been used in so many different ways within our customers homes. The cubes come with either a slipcover or cube format.They are lightweight so they are easy to move around the home when extra seating is needed. They can be stored under consoles and even used as seating at desks or dressing tables. We love styling our cube ottomans in pairs in living spaces for a luxurious look. They certainly add a pop of colour to any space.

3. 'Capri' Stripe slipcover bedhead or bedframe
These have been hugely popular since introducing to our Capri range earlier this year. Particularly popular for coastal homes, this simple and relaxed coastal design is absolutely breathtaking. More of these beauties are arriving soon and are available for preorder. A matching stripe Abigail blanket box is also available.

4. Armchairs or lounges
When choosing an armchair or lounge colour, most customers choose to use a block colour such as oatmeal, duck egg or navy and to accessorise with stripe soft furnishings. But we also adore the look of a stripe lounge or armchair. It is bold and cries out with Hamptons style.
Here our Madeline armchair is shown in ticking stripe and our Henrietta armchair in a blue stripe.

5. Soft furnishings
Stripes are central to our new 'Threads' range of 'linen. We absolutely love our stripe sheets and doona plus the new range of stripe cushions.
Stripes don't have to be blue and white, an understated oatmeal and white pattern is also one of our favourites! How calming is this bedroom?
