About this collection
Coastal Kitchen Ideas, explained.
Coastal kitchens are relaxed by design: cedar shingle and white-painted timber, wide decks and porches, rope and cable railings, dune grasses, hydrangeas and salt-tolerant planting. Whether the house sits on the water or a suburban lot, the mood is breezy and low-key.
Notice how the strongest kitchen designs keep colours pale and materials matte so the light does the work. Save the schemes whose planting and timber tones suit your climate and your house.
Coastal outdoor kitchens are bright and salt-tolerant. Look for white-painted brick or shingle bases, marine-grade cabinets in white or driftwood grey, quartzite or porcelain counters, a sea-glass tile backsplash and stainless appliances that shrug off the air. A pergola with a canvas canopy and wicker stools finish the look.
