Hamptons Decor Baskets

Woven baskets serve double duty as practical storage and as texture-rich accents. In a coastal or Hamptons living room, baskets often hold throw blankets, pillows, books or magazines. Because many baskets are made of seagrass, jute or rattan, they contribute a warm, natural texture that contrasts beautifully with the clean whites and blues of Hamptons décor. As one coastal décor source notes, “Braided baskets…are great for storing items such as throw blankets, books, and toys” and are “often made of seagrass or jute, providing a natural texture element to your coastal décor”.

Use baskets next to sofas, beds or in bathrooms as easy storage. For example, place a basket by the sofa to hold chunky knit throws, or in a kid’s room for toys. On shelves or benches, smaller baskets (with handles or lids) can corral smaller items like remotes or children’s books. Choose baskets in whitewash, natural tan or light gray to maintain the breezy Hamptons color scheme. Their casual, woven look instantly enhances the seaside vibe.

In Hamptons and coastal interiors, baskets are usually woven from natural fibers. Common materials include seagrass, jute, wicker and rattan. These give baskets a slightly rustic look that’s very much in keeping with coastal living. The earthy tones of seagrass or light brown rattan pair beautifully with other natural Hamptons elements like linen pillows and driftwood accents.
