Decorating a Bedroom to look like it is from Nantucket:
Colors: The colors of the New England style especially Nantucket include sea tones and sky tones. The many blues and greens that can be found in the cold Atlantic ocean are what inspire the colors for Nantucket design. While you do not want the bedroom to be a dark and gloomy place, you can incorporate the cool colors of the sea into the Nantucket style bedroom in a way that will make the room seem inviting as a great place to relax!
New England style bedroom colors include Ocean Voyage from Valspar paints, which is a deep cool aqua tone much like the ocean on a dark summer night. Other Nantucket inspired colors for the bedroom include browns such as Brown Bag from Glidden paints and also deep blue tones such as Midship Blue which is also a Glidden paint color. Very common in Nantucket and New England decorating is the use of deep oceanic tones that are highlighted with reds or bright clean whites for a very inviting look. Choose paint colors for the Nantucket bedroom that are dark but not so dark that the room will look gloomy or sad.
