Coastal decor is the style equivalent of linen on a summer day — light airy spaces, neutral color palette, mixed with natural materials and textures. It’s timeless, and always appropriate, no matter what the trend reports are spouting about.

Some interiors try a little too hard to whisper “coastal chic.” You’ve seen them — everything’s beige, there’s a fake coral sculpture glaring at you from a glass shelf, and a pillow somewhere says Ahoy in distressingly bold embroidery.

But then there’s Nantucket — the cool cousin of coastal living.
