Modern Beach House Designs and Coastal Gardens

Pale timber terraces, low profile furniture framing the horizon, salt tolerant planting, outdoor showers, plunge pool courtyards and sheltered evening entertaining. The modern coastal house is an exercise in restraint. Where the classic beach cottage decorates, the modern version subtracts until only the view, the light and one or two beautiful materials remain. Long horizontal lines, pale timber, off white render or lime wash, and glass placed so that the horizon lands exactly where the eye rests when you are seated. Terraces do the work of rooms. A deep pale timber deck on the seaward side, a sheltered courtyard on the other, and a covered dining terrace between them means there is always somewhere comfortable regardless of wind direction. Low profile furniture is essential — anything with a tall back cuts the horizon in half and makes the whole design feel cluttered. Coastal gardens have to earn their place in salt, sand and wind. The reliable palette is silver and grey green: coastal rosemary, westringia, agave, dune grasses, pigface, olive and hardy succulents, mulched with gravel or coarse sand and edged with hardwood. Group them in drifts rather than dotting them about, and plant a dense windbreak layer on the...

Hamptons 02 is part of our Beach House Designs collection — one of 57 large-format widescreen concept visuals in this section. It is presented here at full size so you can study the layout, the planting, the surfaces and the way light falls across the design before you commit to building anything on your own block.

Classic and modern coastal homes, dune gardens, decks and ocean-front living. Use this concept as a starting point: note the proportions between built form and greenery, where shade and shelter sit, how paths and paved areas move people through the space, and which materials repeat to hold the whole scheme together.

Every visual on this site is a design idea created for Home Design Photos. Browse the rest of the Beach House Designs collection, or open the complete image catalogue to see every home, garden, pool, pergola, furniture, lighting and beach house concept in one place.

Hamptons Style Beach House Design Ideas for Gardens, Furniture and Interiors

White weatherboard, clipped box hedges, hydrangeas, striped umbrellas, white cabanas and heavy natural linen — the complete Hamptons design language.

Hamptons style is often reduced to white paint and blue cushions, which is why so many versions of it look thin. The real language is a set of proportions and materials from American east coast summer houses: wide weatherboard, deep shaded verandahs, tall windows with genuine glazing bars, standing seam or shingled roofs, and gardens whose formality is softened by very generous flowering planting.

The garden is the half of the style most people skip, and it is the half that makes it convincing. Clipped box or similar hedging to hold the geometry, hydrangeas in blocks along the shaded side of the house, gravel or bluestone paths with crisp edges, standard trees in pots either side of the door, and lawn kept as a clean shape rather than a leftover. Formality in the structure, abundance in the flowering layer — that contrast is the whole idea.

Outdoor furniture should be substantial and pale. Deep seated white or grey painted timber lounges with heavy linen cushions, a long dining table with woven or slatted chairs, oversized striped umbrellas rather than small ones, a white cabana or pergola with drop curtains for the pool surround, and lanterns instead of downlights wherever possible. Nothing shiny, nothing black framed, nothing that reads as contemporary minimalism.

The pool area is where the style peaks. A rectangular pool aligned with the house, pale coping, a mid blue or pale grey interior rather than deep aqua, hedging to the fence line, a stone or timber deck wide enough for loungers with a path behind them, and the cabana at the far end as the visual full stop. Symmetry costs nothing here and delivers most of the effect.

Interiors continue the palette without becoming a showroom. Panelled or v-groove walls in white and soft grey, pale wide plank floors, heavy natural linen on everything upholstered, rattan and rope textures, navy used sparingly as an accent, and large scale artwork or mirrors to catch the light. Layered light — lamps, sconces, a decent pendant over the table — rather than a grid of ceiling downlights.

Getting the style right in a warmer climate means adapting rather than copying. Deeper eaves and verandahs, shutters or external blinds on the western side, planting chosen for local conditions rather than the strict Long Island list, and ceiling fans in every room. Keep the proportions, materials and restraint of the original and the result reads as authentic Hamptons even when the plants are not.
