The former FLOTUS and fashion icon was known for her style – in both her wardrobe choices and her taste in décor. From vacationing in Palm Beach to spending Julys in Cape Cod, she was most influenced by the coast. And with summer right around the corner, we’re looking to Camelot for a little inspiration. Read on, then create your own Jackie O–inspired dream home.

1. Go minimalist.
Less is definitely more. Clean lines and palette-cleansing hues (think bright whites and calming blues) make hosting a Kennedy-level soirée look effortless – even if it’s anything but.
2. Keep your cool.
Add an easygoing feel to the everyday with light, low-maintenance fabrics like linen and cotton. Bonus: They dry quickly if the beach gets the best of you.
3. Put a spin on the classics.
Stick to a scheme of coastal-inspired motifs for a cohesive look throughout the house – then bring in your own pop of personality with an unexpected hue or accent.
4. Make every room an oasis.
Who says your home office can’t feel like a getaway? Face your desk toward an open window and your day will seem a lot less like work.
5. Take it outside.
Turn the backyard into open-air living and dining rooms. Then take advantage by spending endless summer days outdoors with the family – with or without the security team.
