Nantucket brings to mind images of cedar-shingled buildings, picturesque lighthouses and ocean-side sand dunes. This New England island represents preppy East Coast style come to life. With postcard-perfect views at every turn, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess whether that anchor is a decoration or a whaling artifact.\u00a0But just like we can\u2019t all wear boat shoes year-round, we can\u2019t all live on Nantucket either. Luckily, anyone can evoke Nantucket Vintage charm in their home. This home decor style born of Nantucket is much like the style of clothing you\u2019d associate with the East Coast. Think lots of blue and white, stripes and classic elements.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re taking this nautical style a step further with Nantucket Vintage: a look that combines this crisp, classic style with vintage and vintage-inspired pieces creating a look that\u2019s both timeless and current\u2014and very Nantucket. Think natural weathered wood and beach grass combined with crisp white paint and shiny gold fixtures. We love this look because it’s what decorating is all about\u2014mixing and matching. Few homes\u00a0are decorated in only one style from top to bottom, and Nantucket Vintage perfectly reflects this mix. Interested? We thought so. Here are our tips to evoke Nantucket Vintage in your home.<\/p>\n

Shades of white and cream plus toned-down blues, greys and greens all work perfectly. And don\u2019t be afraid to mix similar colors in different shades together. These varying shades of white, cream and dove grey don\u2019t match exactly but they coordinate perfectly.<\/p>\n Featured products: Retro Perla Subway<\/a>, Retro Perla Trim Ceramic Subway<\/a>, 4-D Nature White<\/a>, Chester Silver,<\/a> Hampton Carrara Polished Hixton<\/a>, Q-Seal Greige High Pencil Liner<\/a>, Hampton Carrara Polished Skirting<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n It\u2019s not just for cashmere sweaters when a nor\u2019easter rolls in.
