I binge-watched all the seasons a few months back after my sister insisted it had my name all over it, and apparently, more than a few of us are ready to move right into this shingle-style oceanfront beach house! I blogged about Grace and Frankie’s house last year after learning the TV home was modeled after a real live beach house in Malibu, designed by a Hello Lovely favorite…Steve Giannetti.

Let’s explore ideas for beachy and coastal style furniture, paint colors, and decor!

Exact Beachy Adirondack Chairs in Grace & Frankie

Are you smitten with these oversized whimsical chairs on the beach we see Jane (Grace) and Lily (Frankie) filming scenes?

Grace & Frankie Beach house: Family Room

The Living Areas…The beach house has two living areas, the larger one is decorated with a white sofa, white chairs, a built-in window seat, rustic wood coffee table, and a rope style barrel chair that you can own if you like (keep reading for the source and link!). The other living area has a fireplace, blue two-cushion sofa, bold orange and white armchairs, and a casual rope sphere chandelier.

Leather Club Chair Idea Inspired by Grace and Frankie Beach House

Jane Fonda’s character Grace does not swing in the bohemian meditation room with bongos as often as she reads in the library at the beach house. This space is decorated with two Paris-style leather armchairs and bookshelves. The walls in here are painted a beachy blue.

Dining Room Idea Inspiration: Beach House on Grace & Frankie

The dining room…is uniquely shaped and placed within Grace and Frankie’s beach house since it is open, and there are only partial walls separating it from other living spaces. A large casual round wood dining table with rattan kubu chairs surrounding it, are often the setting where characters interact (and mostly crack us up). There are also a fair amount of scenes which take place in Frankie’s meditation room where an awesome rattan wwing Chair (FIND HERE) resides.

Grace & Frankie Kitchen Design Inspiration

These may be the exact bar stools, and they are indeed expensive…

But there are good looking alternatives:

Farm Sink for a Coastal Kitchen

These fireclay apron front farm sinks are so perfect in coastal cottages and beach houses OR any house (I love mine!).

Grace & Frankie: Kitchen Cabinets & Design Elements

The Kitchen...Most of the scenes take place at the beach house where Grace and Frankie live and the homes where their husbands live. Grace and Frankie’s kitchen sees a lot of air time with its blue kitchen cabinets, butcher block counter tops, plantation shutters, vintage style pendant lights, wood floors, breakfast bar, and linen covered bar stools. There are open shelves for green and white dishes, an apron front fireclay farm sink, and shelves of book at the end of the kitchen island.

Another great warm white designers love to use on trim and cabinets:

Blue Kitchen Cabinet Paint Color Ideas

Make sure to start with a sample size of a paint color you like and use it to paint a good size swatch on the wall or a sample board, noticing how it looks at different times of the day.

It’s tricky to figure out paint colors from images online or by watching TV because of set lighting and how it presents on your particular computer screen. If you see more green undertones in the cabinets, you may like this option:

Living & Dining Room – Medium Blue Paint Color Ideas

Some of you have been writing me asking me about the medium blue paint color used in the dining room and living room spaces. I have some ideas for you as I await a response from the set designer!

Here’s a lovely contender for the blue color above…

Even if we knew from the designer the exact paint colors for the blue-grey and blue-green shades we see in the beach house, it may not be the best option for your own space. The amount of natural light your room receives and other factors impact how the color will look…so better to select similar swatches and start with a sample!

Can you get much more beachy or coastal with the faded denim hue below (purple undertone), reminiscent of worn-in Levi’s or chambray shirts?

For a quieter coastal look, here’s a sophisticated blue-grey that is gorgeous too.

Beautiful Exterior Inspiration

What’s all the Fuss? I watch very little TV. The Grace and Frankie series appeals to me on a number of levels. First, I love seeing women and men past midlife starring in a uniquely original series. While the younger actors get plenty of screen time, it’s their elders at the center of most of the scenes and plots. That means, the topics covered on the show are ones we don’t often see addressed including sex after 60, parenting adult children, and recovering from divorce after decades of marriage. Second, since Grace and Frankie get so much air time and dialogue, we truly get to know the inner lives of these characters.  So while it’s a comedy, after watching a few episodes, you begin to care about the characters and families.
