Coastal kitchens come in various shapes and feels, but some of the commonalities among them include color scheme, use of natural woods, and a few specific styles of flooring, countertops and cabinets.

Use of various types of natural woods are also common in your coastal kitchens. Whether you leave them in their natural shade or paint them, using wood as for your cabinets, flooring or countertops is a a great way to keep your seaside kitchen’s simplicity and style in sync.  You may even consider integrating the salvaged or reclaimed wood feel into your kitchen by adding a few accents using driftwood or custom-designed styles that achieve the worn wood look and feel.
