Hi guys welcome to Hampton Your House. If we haven't met before, my name is Belle
and my channel is all about bringing the Coastal Hamptons vibe to your house with
DIYs tips and tricks and all on a budget, so if that sounds like something you're
interested in, please consider subscribing which is absolutely free by
the way, and hit the notification bell, then you'll know whenever a new video is
up. Today I'm bringing you an inexpensive Hamptons Style homewares haul. All of
these items were carefully chosen. I tried to find the best value for money
and the best quality on a budget, to get the Coastal Hamptons look without
breaking the bank. I have a bonus tip for you too so be sure to watch all the way
to the end. I was lucky enough to visit the beautiful Early Settler store
recently and I discovered they have some very affordable Hamptons Style homewares,
especially ginger jars, temple jars and blue and white vases and jugs. If
you've been wanting to add some of these items to your decor on a small budget,
Early Settler have some gorgeous small items, like this ginger jar for $10, this
bowl with a lid for $8, and my favourite - this cute mini temple jar for
only $5. So if you buy small items like these you can create the same sort of
Hamptons Style vibe at a small fraction of the cost. I should also point out that
Early Settler also have a larger temple jar for only $49 which is also pretty
reasonable. If you're after a large jar but you don't want to spend much, check
out my video on DIY ginger jars where I up-cycled some old tins from the
local buy and sell page into beautiful Hamptons Style coffee
table pieces. I'll link it for you below and up in the cards next up we have Kmart.
Kmart has so many great products on offer these days, but the two things I
picked up this time we're this glass fishbowl vase and tea towels. Now if
you've followed my channel for any length of time, you would know that I
make Hamptons Style cushion covers out of tea towels, and that's what I'll be using
these tea towels for. If you'd like to see how to make them yourself, check out
the link in the description box below or up in the cards. These tea towels are
great because the stripes on them look almost like rope - very nautical. They're
going to make some beautiful cushions! They were $5 for a set of three.
And the fishbowl vase is something that's often used in Hamptons styling -
usually with some beautiful hydrangeas in it, This one was just $10 and
it's a bit larger than I was hoping for, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway.
Now we'd better talk about hydrangeas while we're on vases. I picked up these
long stem hydrangeas from The Reject Shop for around $3.50 each
and I've cut the stems shorter. I think for the price point they're quite nice
ones but obviously the more you spend, the more realistic they'll look. There are
lots of places you can find hydrangeas these days. They have some quite nice
ones at Cheap as Chips for $6 a stem and they have a great range at
Early Settler too, which are higher quality again and slightly on the
pricier side, but you can always watch for a sale to get some bargains! Now I
just wanted to quickly mention this grey faux rattan tray that I bought from
Cheap as Chips a few months ago for $18, which was an absolute
bargain price, and it's really strong and nice quality, and the fact that it isn't
real rattan is great for me because it means that it's so much easier to clean.
So if you know what things to look for for your decor items,
then when you see something like this, you'll know it's a great buy. Trays like
these are perfect for keeping on your coffee table to provide a base for decor
items and help tie them all in together, or just to keep your remotes in order.
Finally, I picked up a few items from IKEA. I found this lovely stripey throw
rug with a bit of a fringe on it. It was on sale for $15 down from $20, and
everything will be linked for you below by the way if you want to check it out.
This rug will work really nicely with Hamptons Style decor. Next is this long
black frame which was $12.99. I'm not really gonna talk about this one now
because I'm going to use it for an upcoming DIY, so watch out for that one
soon. Next we have this awesome little artificial plant. It was $5 and these are
great, because if you have a little bowl or pot, you can just drop this into it
and it looks instantly amazing. And it makes a beautiful little bit of greenery
that you can add to a shelf, your bedroom or bathroom, or even an outdoor area.
And now it's time for our bonus tip. If you've watched any number of home
design shows, I'm sure you would have come across the cushion-karate-chop
phenomenon - you know, how people karate chop their cushions to make the cushions
look more comfortable? Well, I'm not sure if this is the same in other countries,
but the cushion inserts that usually come with cushions in Australia are just
normal wadding and I've tried and tried, but you just can't get a good karate
chop look with these cushion inserts. Well I've finally found the solution and
though this may have been obvious to some people, I'm gonna share it with you
anyway just in case. You need duck down cushion inserts, just like this one
which I found at IKEA for $10. Check this out.
Problem solved! I was super excited when I discovered it so I just wanted to
share it with you guys. Well I hope you learned a lot from this video. Hopefully
it's helped you to think outside the box a little bit with your home decor items
and hopefully it will help you to save some money as well when it comes to
decorating your house. I had a lot of fun putting this together for you. If you
liked it please give this video a big thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe

guys, and I'll see you in my next video. Bye.
