New England Design: Cape Cod Inspired Spaces – Indoors & Out

Man was made to explore the great outdoors and to bring the splendour of nature into our homes and everyday spaces. This innate connection to the wild is what inspires us to build connections between our indoor and outdoor spaces. New England Design helps us bridge the gap, creating beautiful and timeless furniture pieces in true Cape Cod style.

Blurring the lines

Indoors or out? This is the question… Homes with a real freshness and connection to the outdoors often blur the lines and boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. Perhaps large doors open to a garden or patio, or your interior style extends to your outdoor entertainment areas. Either way, building a connection to the outdoors takes careful planning, curated furniture choices and a love for nature.

Mix and Match

When you’re creating a flow from indoors to outside, then you may want to play around with finishes that can work in both spaces. Finishes like wood and metal can help bring the outdoors in, but also extend your interior style to your patio.

You can create continuity by matching and layering different finishes. Connect indoor tiling and outdoor flooring by choosing a similar finish for both. Additionally, give the space a modern edge with black metal sliding doors that stand out against a light and airy interior.

Cape Cod Patterns and Colours

Cape Cod is famous for its sandy beaches and laid-back living. This is usually the inspiration for a beautiful Cape Cod interior design. Classic Cape Cod interiors are light and airy, celebrating outdoor life as well as creating bright, happy and relaxing interior spaces. As such, typical colourways are light and muted and may include the colours found in nature itself. Think light greys, blue-greys, buff, white and even brown. Layering patterns like stripes and nautical lines are a must in a good Cape Cod interior. Play around with these light colourways and layer those stripes for a truly inspired look. This works equally well inside as it does on a patio or outdoor living room.

Embrace Greenery

Freshen up your space with greenery and plant life. This is a great way to enhance the look and further bring nature indoors. Fresh greenery is also a welcome dose of colour in a cosy room, so be sure to brighten it up with your favourite varieties and welcome the great outdoors right into your home.

Create an interior oasis

Our homes should be a haven for us to find peace and enjoy life.
