Cool greys paired with stainless steel and brightly coloured accents, such as small appliances, splashbacks and barstools, will help lift the mood. As in nature, earthy browns, greys and sand colours blend harmoniously. So if you're looking to add warmth, start with the right shade – that goes for paint, cabinets and flooring.Įlements of natural timber will add warmth to cooler grey kitchens, and equally a grey-white natural stone floor can cool down a fiery palette.

Green said they don’t do product exclusives but they do try to assort the boutiques with a “one boutique, one story” approach. Understated seating options and graphic accent pieces evoke Gabrielle Chanel’s salon in her apartment at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris. Highlights include diamanté-trimmed suiting, loose summery denim, gilded tweeds and sleek evening options from the Métiers d’ Art 2021-22 collection, along with swimwear and cover-ups from the Coco Beach collections, as well as small leather goods, jewelry and sunglasses. The first floor divides its focus between ready-to-wear, accessories, watches and fine jewelry, eyewear and shoes. The second floor, which will be used for private appointments, is organized around central-facing creamy linen couches topped with throw pillows in white and gold Chanel tweed. “It has a very Hamptons, home, beach vibe,” said Green, noting that outside the boutique is a garden that will be used for entertaining throughout the summer. Matte black painted floors and white walls are topped by tweed rugs, understated seating options and graphic accent pieces evoking Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s salon in her apartment at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris.
The decor is light-filled and summery, taking inspiration from both the Hamptons spirit and the codes of the house, including the emblematic black, white and gold color palette. Ready-to-wear at the new Chanel boutique in East Hampton.
