Hamptons Table Lamps
The Hamptons style, named after the summer beach paradise located on the shores of Long Island, New York, is a popular aesthetic theme for resorts and low bungalows. It is a design style that emits effortless luxury and grace, a fitting motif for relaxing and sophisticated interior and exterior spaces.
Table lamps of this range have forms and patterns that mimic the scenery and objects from the seaside. Aquatic animals, ocean waves, swaying palm trees, and sandy beaches are all incorporated into one distinct fashion to create elements that became major fads of the current era.
Usually doused in the cool colour palettes, the Hamptons table lamps bring a casual elegance that brightens up any place. So let your family and friends be enchanted with the beauty of the Hamptons table lamps showcased in your living room, dining area, and entryway.

A Brief Account of the Hamptons Style
The Hamptons, a memorable vacation oasis for many New Yorkers, is the origin of the famed Hamptons style. The compelling allure of the coastal vista combined with the luxurious habits and tastes of wealthy vacationers created this style much craved by Australians and Americans alike. A relaxed atmosphere that does not hide its finesse and class is what the Hamptons brings into residential and commercial spaces.
As the style that emerged from the demands of the elite, the Hamptons style, and by extension the Hamptons table lamps, are never scarce in beauty and quality. Only the best, the most durable, and the most aesthetically pleasing are necessary. There is no need to save on expenses to get the premium quality ones, but the items must not be overly dramatic, nor must they demand too much stress and attention from the onlookers. The key is a calm beauty, high-end aesthetics that will let anyone feel homey and comfortable without any effort.
Spotting Hamptons Style in Homes and Offices
The Hamptons style embraces brightness in every sense of the word. Therefore, Hamptons-style homes and resorts are designed to have large open windows to allow natural sunlight to enter the rooms. For furniture and decors, including table lamps, the colour white, along with other neutral colours, is seen more than any other tone. White pillows and rugs as accent fittings and comfortable couches with white patterns are some of the favourite inclusions for this style. By extension, many white table lamps in our collection are also categorised under the Hampton style.
Glass and timber are also adored materials for the Hamptons style. Refurbished wooden table lamps with matt coated finishes do wonders when placed in kitchen islands and dining halls. Glass table lamps, especially those clear ones, help reflect light and scatter them all over, making the rooms appear more vibrant and airy. Pristine yet at ease, Hampton table lamps are suitable decorative lighting in any space.
Variations of Hamptons Style
The Hamptons style also has many versions depending on the location of its application. However, although they have many differences, the core values of the Hamptons style remain - open, elegant, and casual beauty that captivates and relaxes the mind.
In Australian homes, as long as it’s a cabin or bungalow near the sea, the Hamptons style is characterised by weatherboard claddings, open-air spaces, high ceilings, natural textures for furniture such as jute rugs and cane cabinets, a mix of nautical colours such as sandy neutrals with grey, blue, and navy accents. Designers classify this as the Hamptons Coastal style. Table lamps such as the Replica Foscarini Gregg Table Lamp, the Germaine Natural with White Shade Ceramic Table Lamp, the Baytown Dome Blue Textured Ceramic Base Table Lamp, and the Thebes White Coral Ceramic Table Lamp perfectly showcase these coastal elements.
For Hamptons style in rural areas and provinces, also known as Hamptons Country style, many would see the farmhouse and rustic styles incorporated into the design. The noteworthy elements of this variation are refreshing lanterns, rattan and bamboo decorations, exposed beams, dark wooden floorboards, shaker-style cabinetry, and vertical wall panellings, among many. Warm earthy tones like olive green, antique brass, and rust-brown are the main colour distribution for these houses. Some of the table lamps in our collection that can exemplify these themes are the Sandra Antique Brass Classic Table Lamp, the Sweden Bare Wooden Scandinavian Table Lamp, and Zimba White Rattan with Ivory Linen Shade Table Lamp.
The Urban Hamptons style, on the other hand, are most influenced by modern design styles. Alfresco spaces and wide floor plans are still vital features, but the decorations and fittings often have bolder impressions mimicking modern and contemporary art. Instead of just timber and linen, pair it with more with gold and silver. Marble table lamps, in particular, are eye-catching additions to the Urban Hamptons style. Bring more contrasting colours to the white facade with charcoal and black decors. For example, the Essence Clear Crystal Base with Brass Rod Table Lamp, Bertrand Geometric Tactile Table Lamp, and the Burnett Multi-faceted Smooth Bronze Table Lamp are great featured pieces to be placed in your Hampton-styled office in the city centre.
Cleaning and Maintaining Hamptons Table Lamps
Generally, table lamps in any style are relatively easy to clean. Many interior designers recommend light cleaning every week and deep cleaning twice a year. However, as Hampton table lamps often have brighter shades and tones, we recommend deep cleaning them quarterly or, if possible, every month since muck is easy to stick and spot on these tones.
For weekly cleaning, a simple dusting will do. Take a dry or slightly damp cloth or paper towel and gently wipe the outer layer of your Hampton table lamp. Make sure that you remove its connection to the electrical outlets before doing so for safety measures.
Deep cleaning is the routine complete cleaning of every part of the object, from the readily accessible part to those hard-to-reach nooks and corners. So, naturally, it has more procedures to follow. Besides detaching your lamp to the wall sockets, you also need to dismantle as many table lamp parts as possible. This way, you can easily clean the bulb sockets and other internal components. Just remember the process of how you disassembled your Hampton table lamp so that you can arrange it back together easily later on. If your table lamp has an assembly and disassembly instruction manual, then follow those steps before starting deep cleaning your table lamp.
Let’s start deep cleaning with the table lamp base. Many Hampton table lamps have ceramic bases. Whether these bases are coated, glazed, or not, you can clean ceramic objects by using a mixture of warm water, vinegar, and a bit of soap. Vinegar only helps break down hard-to-clean dirt and grime, so you can opt not to use it if your ceramic base doesn’t have them. Also, make sure not to use too much soap as the soapy residue may make the ceramic look dull afterwards. After preparing the solution, soak the base in it, then wipe it clean with a dry cloth or paper towel. If bathing the lamp base is not an option, dip the fabric into the soap mixture, then rub it on the table lamp. Pat it dry with a paper towel after all the filth is removed.
Another method for deep cleaning is using a vacuum cleaner or air compressor. Use a thin nozzle to blow away or suck the dirt stuck on the crannies of the Hampton table lamp. Most decorators prefer this method instead of wiping since there is no direct contact that might damage the lamp’s overall texture and finish.
