Hamptons Style Flooring Types 

In Hamptons homes, the flooring is an opportunity to add warmth and texture to the home without affecting the timeless and airy feel. In living areas, Hamptons homes incorporate light-coloured options to achieve that relaxing and peaceful feel it’s famous for. However, in utility spaces, the Hamptons home design style proves its functionality. With tones like grey, navy and blue being the home design’s most popular accent colour, these spaces are a great opportunity to create depth and interest through the use of classic patterned tiles or unique stone textures.  

Here isour most popular G.J. Gardner Home Hamptons style flooring looks.  

Hamptons Style Hardwood Flooring 

Hardwood flooring throughout your home always creates a luxe look, and paired with other Hamptons design trends, it creates a truly stunning space. With hardwood flooring, you add an element of nature to your home through the floor. The most popular hardwood types for a Hamptons home includes white oak, hickory, and maple in a wide plank style, which is finished with a white or grey wash or stain to keep that light, airy feel. Through this Hamptons flooring style, you can add texture and depth to the space in a subtle and seamless way depending on how the hardwood is laid. A herringbone pattern throughout creates a barely-there movement in the space and lets the unique tones of the wood be showcased. Hardwood is also a famously durable flooring option, as it stays naturally resistant to scratches and dents and can be sanded and refinished as your home ages. Although a major investment, hardwood floors make for a timeless home that will only enhance your Hamptons style and can even complement any new look as well.  

Hamptons Style Vinyl Flooring 

Thanks to today’s construction innovation, vinyl flooring lets you achieve the look of hardwood floors without the price tag. Vinyl flooring mimics the unique texture, look and colour of hardwood through a vinyl material instead. G.J. Gardner Homes’ vinyl flooring options perfectly capture the Hamptons look, with light toned wood looks that will bring texture and dimension to any space. Just like hardwood, vinyl is highly resistant and durable to all of life’s chaos. In fact, the synthetic material makes it easier to clean and more comfortable to stand on. Hamptons style vinyl flooring offers you the natural look of hardwood that’s more economical, with more versatile ways to install and customise.  

Hamptons Style Tile Flooring 

Hamptons style tiles embrace the coastal theme of this design style. Tiles are an iconic part of the Hamptons style and were originally embraced for their functionality. As many of us can attest, tiles are ideal for sandy feet and beachside living. Best suited to laundries, kitchens and bathrooms, Hamptons style tiles tend to stay a neutral colour or incorporate those deeper accent colours like navy or grey. The tiles themselves can create interesting patterns like herringbone or feature a unique and ornamental design. As a flooring material that’s famously durable, tiles are great for families as they’re resistant to water damage and stains. Hamptons style tiles are a practical flooring option, that lets you incorporate the design’s colour palette and bright look. 

Hamptons Style Stone Flooring 

Stone flooring is widely known to create a refined and elegant look, due to its always one-of-a-kind appearance. With Hamptons style homes, stone flooring is a popular way to keep that connection to nature. Stones like marble, limestone, or travertine offer your space a subtle texture in a range of light and neutral colours. From your living space to areas like bathrooms and laundries, stone flooring emulates the core ideas of Hamptons design by providing a luxury look that lasts. This flooring type is known to be long-lasting and provides the perfect durable foundation that can withstand spins, scratches and stains. In a Hamptons-inspired home, stone flooring provides a great flooring solution that will add value and beauty to your home for years to come

Light-toned carpets in creams, white or natural weaves create an airy and bright space, whilst the soft texture creates warmth and comfort. Carpet flooring is the perfect option for a Hamptons home’s bedrooms and keeps these personal spaces comfortable and cosy through the famed Hamptons colour palette. G.J.
