Nantucket & New England Style

Nantucket & New England Style

    Filter

      'Nantucket style' is a sophisticated fusion of the rugged coastal landscape and the genteel refinement of its residents. As such, the colour scheme incorporates light and muted shades of blue, off-white, grey, and beige. Splashes of bolder colours like orangey red or coral pink may be used sparingly for emphasis. Nantucket style is similar to New England styles from Maine to Connecticut.
