Named for the summer playground of New York’s rich and famous, the Hamptons style is the ultimate in sophisticated beachside living. And with our warm climate, enviable coastline and near-year-round outdoor lifestyle, it’s no wonder this style is making waves on Aussie shores and has become sought-after by homeowners across the country. Here to guide you is interior designer aka “Queen of the Hamptons” Natalee Bowen. Renowned as the Hamptons design expert in Australia, Natalee takes readers by the hand and teaches them how to emulate the style in their very own home, whether building a new house, renovating an existing one or simply updating the furnishings and finishes.
