A Hamptons-Inspired Tablescape

At Home

We went to the Hamptons a few weeks ago and I was so inspired by the elevated yet laid back vibe by the water. I came home and wanted to redo our entire apartment (naturally). Instead, I thought a pretty table scape would quench me! And lucky for you, most of these items are sourced from Amazon so you can get them in by the weekend! 😉

A Hamptons-inspired tablescape has lots of light linens, hurricane candles, hydrangeas, and rattan. Seashell elements are always a great touch too! You can throw this tablescape together with just a few elements if you want to keep it more casual- seashells + hydrangea sprigs make all the difference.

Why I Love a Hamptons-Inspired Table

The charm of the Hamptons is that it feels so effortless, yet everything still looks incredibly polished. Whether you’re hosting a summer brunch, a family dinner, or just want your dining table to feel special, this works in any space – even a small NYC apartment like ours! How fun would this be to pull outside on a porch table, too?

How to Style a Hamptons Table Setting

To create this look at home, I focused on a few key elements:

Natural textures: Think rattan placemats, woven chargers, and linen napkins. These add warmth and structure without feeling too formal.

Coastal florals: Hydrangeas are a must. I love using white or pale blue stems for a soft, romantic touch.

Ambient lighting: Glass hurricane candle holders with pillar candles or tea lights create that golden hour glow.

Seashells + beachy details: Scatter a few shells. It’s such a simple way to add personality. I loved these seashell name place holders!

You don’t have to be in the Hamptons to enjoy the aesthetic. With just a few well-chosen pieces, you can bring that signature East Coast charm right to your table. It’s one of my favorite ways to make everyday moments feel a little more special. My favorite thing!
