Creating a space that combined the warmth of an older home with the features and materials of today was the task for the designer on this project located on Cape Cod. The designer used Mouser Cabinetry with a beaded face frame and the Stratford inset door style in white throughout the kitchen. Wood beams are the focal point and draw the eye to the vaulted ceiling.

This young family wanted to update their kitchen and loved getting away to the coast. We tried to bring a little of the coast to their suburban Chicago home. The statement pantry doors with antique mirror add a wonderful element to the space. The large island gives the family a wonderful space to hang out, The custom "hutch' area is actual full of hidden outlets to allow for all of the electronics a place to charge. Warm brass details and the stunning tile complete the area.

This gorgeous modern beach house combines a white canvas with pops of color and designer details, showcased in the custom brass hardware on the modern white cabinets and the designer lighting choices such as the natural basket pendant chandelier hanging above the dining table. The stools are white leather with wooden legs for easy clean and comfort. The counter tops are white quartz (Britannica Cambria) which waterfalls down the front of the island. The stainless steel wolf gas range sits beneath a modern stainless steel range hood. The walls are clad in a white painted horizontal paneling which wraps onto the vaulted ceiling. The flooring is gray porcelain tile, and the glass sliding doors are teak.

Modern Walnut Wrapped Gallery Kitchen

Nar Design Group

Having designed the kitchen in their previous home (see Davis Rockwell Kitchen) - which they loved for many years – this couple came back to us with one main request, to design a similar but more upscale interpretation for their new home. As with the previous kitchen, the clients wanted an open space for entertaining and dedicated areas to showcase their large collection of art pieces. The existing builder grade kitchen didn’t fit their personal style or wish list. Knowing that the client’s intention was for this house to be their forever home, it was vital to give them a design that worked well now as well as for future needs. Knowing they love to entertain, we recommended a 5’ Galley Workstation for its flexibility to serve a variety of tasks from everyday wash station to party central with just a quick change of accessories. Located in the heart of the home, the kitchen is visible from all angles and needed to present a clean, flush look with the cabinets and appliances. Special features include LED strip lighting in the upper niche cabinets to highlight special art pieces. Beautiful walnut panels wrap the cabinetry and serve a dual purpose around the fold-up wall cabinets by the cooktop; they provide just enough depth for custom spice shelves. Mitered edges on counter tops and continuous vertical wood grain drawer fronts are upscale details. Photo credit: Fred Donham of Photographerlink

Coastal Kitchen Ideas

Bright, fresh and cheerful, beach style kitchens can make you feel like you’re on vacation all year long. Featuring plenty of bright whites, glassy finishes and an array of blues, this style is ideal if you want to create a welcoming and relaxing space to cook and entertain. There are a number of directions you can go, so if you’re on the lookout for coastal kitchen ideas, read on for more inspiration.

1. Incorporate Organic Kitchen Decor

Beach style doesn’t have to feel dated — you can focus on elegant textures and finishes and keep the Cape Cod motifs to a minimum. Think accents in sea glass blues and rich wood surfaces for a natural, modern-organic look.

2. Add a Beachy Rug

Bring in a little color and texture with a coastal kitchen rug. Look for flat-woven varieties with blue and white stripes, or go for an all-natural jute rug.

3. Use Roman Shades

If you’re looking for just the right curtains, try using Roman shades. Streamlined and chic, you could go with all-white shades or those with a subtle nautical pattern.

4. Choose Light Woods

Whether you’re adding in new countertops or you’re trying to find the perfect kitchen table, lighter woods will give you a windswept, driftwood look.

5. Don’t Shy Away from a Colorful Backsplash

If you’re looking for backsplash ideas, now is your chance to add in a pop of color. Turquoise or navy blue tiles can look gorgeous, and you may even consider using a scalloped seashell shape.

6. Take It in a Farmhouse Direction

There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to beach style kitchen decor, so you might consider mixing and matching other design elements. Coastal farmhouse kitchens make use of plenty of bright whites and reclaimed woods, apron style sinks and lantern pendant lights.

7. Pair Blue and Gray

Take things in a west coast, California-inspired direction. For a modern coastal look, opt for grayish blue kitchen cabinets paired with white quartz or marble counters.

8. Classic Cape Cod

If you’re taking on a Cape Cod kitchen remodel, consider going with wood floors, casual open shelves and preppy kitchen towels and mats in navy blue and red.

9. Lighthouse Inspired

When you’re picking out lighting, try to channel a lighthouse aesthetic with rounded, clear glass pendants.

10. Rope and Wood

Perhaps the easiest way to add a bit of beach style to your kitchen is to incorporate natural accents made of chunky rope and weathered wood. Use these materials anywhere, from wall decor to pantry storage bins.
