The "Cape Cod aesthetic" is our summer design crush – here's how to get the look of this modern coastal style

A modern, all-white living room with seaside feel

The Cape Cod look is really having a moment in the spotlight, trending as the next seaside aesthetic to embrace. Serene, oh so stylish, with a traditional edge that still manages to feel contemporary and cool, this modern interior design is inspired by the homes on the peninsula off the coast of Massachusetts and one that I want to try out in my own home (even though I'm miles away from the seaside). 

‘Modern coastal is all about mimicking what is happening outside in nature,’ says Brad Ramsey of Brad Ramsey Interiors. ‘It's definitely not stereotypical modern that sounds like it would be sleek and cold. While we maintain clean modern lines in the furniture, we evoke the feeling of sun, sand, water, and driftwood.'
