With their calm, coastal charm and timeless elegance, Hamptons style bathrooms continue to shine as one of the most sought-after interior looks for Australian homes. Blending bright, breezy spaces with refined finishes, it’s no wonder this design trend resonates so well with the sunny Queensland lifestyle.
Whether you’re planning a new build or simply gathering ideas for your dream ensuite, we’ve pulled together the top Hamptons bathroom trends to help inspire your perfect space – plus how to bring the look to life with ease.
Inspired by the relaxed luxury of seaside homes on the East Coast of the United States, Hamptons bathrooms are defined by their light-filled aesthetic, classic features and a sense of easy elegance. Think clean lines, a soft colour palette, and design elements that evoke calm and comfort.
White forms the base of most Hamptons bathrooms – from tiles to cabinetry – creating a fresh and timeless canvas. To add depth and softness, subtle shades like dove grey, muted blues and warm neutrals can be beautifully layered in.
Creating the right Hamptons feel is all about attention to detail. Here are some standout features to consider:
Subway tiles are a timeless choice for Hamptons bathrooms, particularly when arranged in herringbone or basketweave patterns. Choose glossy or matte white for a clean finish, or add subtle greys and soft blues for a refreshing twist.
Shaker-style cabinetry is a Hamptons hallmark. White vanities are a popular go-to, but introducing pastel tones or timber accents can offer a personalised take on the style. Floating vanity units can add a contemporary edge while keeping the space feeling open.
Matte black tapware offers a striking contrast against white surfaces, while brushed finishes like brass, copper, or gunmetal add warmth and texture. Freestanding tubs create a beautiful focal point, especially in clawfoot or curved styles.
Soft, natural light is key – so consider larger windows or plantation shutters to let the sunshine in while keeping privacy intact. Complement with classic pendant lighting or wall sconces in brushed metals or white ceramics.
Accessorise with woven baskets, glass jars, plush towels, and coastal-style prints to complete the look.
One of the most effective ways to elevate your home design is through consistency – inside and out. Pairing a Hamptons-style bathroom with a Hamptons façade ensures a cohesive and considered aesthetic throughout the home.

Kitchens and bathrooms are the most important rooms in your new home, but they can also be the hardest to change if something isn’t right. Getting it right before you build is critical—that way you won’t have to just ‘live with’ anything you don’t love.
