The Hamptons look has become one of the most sought-after styles in Australia — but what does it really mean, and how do you design a home that feels timeless, functional, and connected to the way Aussies live?
In this episode of the MTDC Lounge, Matt and Bree unpack the essentials of Hamptons-style design — from its origins in the US to its evolution as a coastal Australian favourite. They share practical insights on creating open, light-filled spaces, the importance of timber and stone finishes, and why the journey through a home matters just as much as the façade.
