Responsive images
Every photograph is served through Ghost's own image sizes, so a phone downloads a phone-sized file rather than the original upload — which matters on a theme this visual.
Interiors & architecture theme
Hamptons
A photography-first Ghost theme for interiors, architecture and travel magazines — large-format images, restrained serif typography and a front page that lets your best work breathe.

The theme, in full
Quiet pages, loud photography.
Every screen below is the real rendered theme on the live demo — no mockups. Select any one to view it full size.
The light and dark front pages above are the same theme: one setting chooses Light, Dark, or Auto to follow each reader's system.
Ghost 6Current major version
GScan verifiedChecked before release
No frameworksNo jQuery or runtime libraries
Self-hosted fontsNo third-party font requests
Performance-minded by default
Heavy on photography, light on everything else.
Hamptons keeps the front end deliberately small: one hand-written stylesheet, one short vanilla JavaScript file, fonts served from your own site and no framework between your stories and your readers.
Fonts from your own site
Fraunces, Newsreader and Inter ship inside the theme as woff2 files. There are no requests to a font service, and nothing extra to list in your privacy policy.
Ghost-native features
Memberships, newsletters, search and comments work through Ghost itself rather than extra plugin layers, and every content card is styled to match.
Built for beautiful rooms
A magazine that looks as considered as the places it covers.
Hamptons is designed around what an interiors or architecture title actually publishes: big photographs, long reads, a handful of sections and a reason to come back each week.
A photograph first
The newest story opens the front page full-bleed, with its headline set over the image. Switch the hero to video and a muted loop plays behind it, with a pause control and a still image for anyone who asks for reduced motion.
Curation you control
Mark stories as Featured to fill the Editors' Picks rail, and tag them #popular to choose the numbered Most Popular list — no analytics plugin required.
Four magazine sections
Architecture, Interiors, Travel and Shopping each get a homepage row and their own page, with a cover image and description, from a supplied routes file and your posts' primary tags.
Long reads, properly set
An automatic drop cap, a brass-ruled pull quote style, wide and full-bleed images and galleries give long stories the pacing of a printed feature.
Light, dark or automatic
One setting chooses the colour scheme; another sets the brass accent. Two type pairings — the editorial serif or a modern sans — cover headlines and body text separately.
Members and contributors
A native newsletter band on the front page and under every article, Ghost's comments, author bios after each story and contributor pages with portrait, bio and location.
Fit check
Is Hamptons right for your publication?
- Interiors, architecture, design and home magazines
- Travel and lifestyle titles led by photography
- Studios, galleries and brands publishing an editorial journal
- Membership and newsletter-led editorial businesses
Not the right fit: Ghost(Pro) Starter sites, publications that sell display advertising — Hamptons has no ad slots, so look at Society — or a fast, many-stories-a-day newsroom, which Broadsheet is built for.

Buyer questions
A few things worth knowing before you choose Hamptons.
Quick answers to the questions that usually decide whether a Ghost theme is the right fit.
Will Hamptons work on my Ghost plan?
Hamptons is designed and tested for Ghost 6.x and requires a Ghost plan that supports custom themes. Ghost(Pro) Starter does not support custom themes; Ghost(Pro) Publisher or a self-hosted Ghost install is the right fit.
Can I customise it without coding?
Yes. Fifteen documented theme settings cover the fonts, accent colour, a light, dark or automatic colour scheme, an image or video homepage hero, editors' picks, the magazine sections, the most popular list, the newsletter band, related stories, author bios and three social links.
Do I have to use Architecture, Interiors, Travel and Shopping?
No. The four sections come from a supplied routes file and your posts' primary tags. One setting turns the homepage section blocks off; renaming them is a short edit to the routes file and homepage template, covered in the settings guide.
What support do I get?
You get email support from the person who built the theme for installation questions and documented theme settings, with a target response within two business days.
What if I buy it and it is not right?
Your purchase is covered by the 14-day refund policy. If Hamptons is not a fit for your publication, read the refund terms or email before the refund window closes.
