“Hamptons Style” is
a buzzword you’ve
probably heard a lot
in the Home Design
world, no matter
where you live. It
is a sophisticated
coastal theme ideal for
seaside communities,
like Manzeene Village
in Lara, as it suits
Geelong’s relaxed
way of life.
Homebuyers Centre’s “Hayman
facade” has been inspired by
Hamptons Style with the grey
rendered look and white painted
gables, timber posts and beams
which gives it that classic feel.
The horizontal cladding also gives
this home that luxury Hamptons
street appeal.
“The Hamptons look is well-
known in Australia because it
creates a classic elegant home, but
in a relaxed beachside style that
is synonymous with Australian
culture,” said Homebuyers Centre
Senior Designer, Mitra Whittle.
“Our Vibe 25 Display at
Manzeene Village is well suited to
Hamptons style, with its spacious
and flowing design.”
As you enter the Vibe 25 Display
the master suite is the first room,
the generous bedroom features
an adjoining walk-in-robe and
ensuite including a double
shower and basins.
The kitchen of the Vibe floorplan
is centrally located overlooking the
living space and adjacent to the
dining area. It features a generous
island bench which is great for
entertaining along with ample
storage in the walk-in-pantry.
Homebuyers Centre’s designers
have opted for a shaker-style profile
in white; a classic that continues
that timeless Hamptons elegance
indoors.
The displays interior styling also
injects a bit of country style into
the Hamptons styling with the use
of feature walls, nick-nacks and
natural timbers throughout.
“The best part about buying your
own home is that it’s yours. It’s
great to mix and match theming,
especially when creating your
own home. If you love the look of
Homebuyers Centre’s Hayman
facade, but want an ultra-modern
interior, you can!” said Mitra.

From beginner
home stylists to the
most seasoned and
decorated interior
designers alike, mood
boards are a tool
widely used to help
the creative process
of home styling.
Mitra Whittle, Boutique Homes
Senior Interior Designer believes
that mood boards are a fantastic
way to bring home-styling ideas
to life.
“Mood boards are the best way
for home-styling ideas to manifest
and be brought to life.
As a process, mood boards allow
you to materialise ideas in your
mind and watch them translate
right in front of you, proving to be
considerably practical,” said Mitra.
“Most enjoyable of all, you get
to play with it and have fun! Now
is the time to trial and experiment
with your interiors before you
make the big-ticket decision
of home design.”
There is no one way to approach
a mood board, whether it’s hand-
drawn pictures, collages, flat lay
photography, corkboards or a
Pinterest account, having a central
idea hub allows the homeowner to
experience firsthand the feelings of
their soon-to-be surrounds.
Mood boards are also useful
in that you’ll quickly get a feel for
what you like and what you don’t
like as you assemble your ideas and
tastes on your mood board, saving
you time in the long run.
While home design often stems
from one idea, product, colour or
concept, mood boards allow you
to start with either one aspect or a
theme in its entirety, and allowing
you to put your look together
whether by induction or deduction.
“Trial and error can be your
biggest asset when it comes to
assembling your mood board. It’s
also helpful to make use of material
samples and swatches to get a feel
for the various textures in your
home,” said Mitra.
“Being specific will also assist
you in achieving certain looks by
adding in pictures of intended
installation artwork or plant life
to see how they resonate with the
overall feel you want to achieve
in your own home.”
