Four Ideas for a Cozy Coastal Kitchen

Whether you are a local native or a snowbird escaping a harsh northern winter, experimenting with coastal design can be a rewarding experience that will add a beautiful, breezy aesthetic to your Florida home. With the holidays just around the corner and all kinds of baking about to commence, there is no better place to start this transformation than with your kitchen. Here are four ideas you can try to create that perfect coastal kitchen in your home.

Hues for a Coastal Kitchen

One of the appealing features of coastal design is a color palette that reflects the region's natural beauty. Use ranging hues of tans and neutrals to reflect the various tones of the beach. Choose an array of deep and pale blues and greens to mimic the ever-changing color of the water and sky. Pastel pinks, creamy whites, light yellows, and coral will echo the shells' soft, calming hues.

A Nautical Flair for Your Coastal Kitchen

A touch of nautical flair always works very well in coastal design. Deep navy, along with other maritime shades of blue and white, perfectly represents the sailor suit. Select natural textiles and striped patterns for pillows and wallpaper. Use fish, shells, anchors, oars, and boats for thematic décor accents.

Coastal Furnishing, Light and Airy

Light floors in a coastal kitchen are preferred in coastal design, as they better represent the openness of the beach and closely match the light-colored sand. Ceramic or porcelain tile is perfect as it is durable, will resist water, and is easy to maintain. Luxury vinyl flooring will do the same. If you like the look of hardwood, consider engineered hardwood, bamboo, or laminate, as each of these options will stand up to the wear and tear in a coastal kitchen. Choose furniture that is simple with straight lines made from rattan, wicker, or light wood. Use thematic or floral fabrics for slipcovers and pillows.

Hunter Douglas Polysatin Shutters for Style and Functionality

Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are ideal for hot and humid climates such as the Boynton Beach area. Designed to stand up to intense sunlight and moisture, they are a perfect fit for coastal kitchens. With our unique Polysatin™ compound, they are completely water-resistant, another great feature not just for coastal areas but for your kitchen too.

The Palm Beach Promise™ guarantees they will resist warping, cracking, fading, chipping, peeling, or discoloring. Their interior aluminum bracing and resin blocks add superior strength, making these shutters build to last.

You can select from three Louver Sizes—2 ½", 3 ½", or 4 ½". The wider the louver, the more light that will enter. These shutters are offered in three subtle hues of white that will make the perfect backdrop for your coastal kitchen.
