Beach Cottage Kitchen Ideas to Inspire Your Coastal Home Design

Ideas for Your Beach Cottage Kitchen

Here are some ideas to help you incorporate the light and airy beach cottage kitchen aesthetic into your remodel.

Illuminate the Space With Natural Light

From the soft white kitchen cabinets to the delicate blue and pink accents, this beach cottage kitchen design showcases the beauty of natural light. The designer also made sure the walkway between the kitchen island and sink doesn’t seem cramped, so it feels comfortable for everyday use.

Emphasize Primary & Secondary Colors in a Modern Design

Did you ever expect to see red in a beach cottage kitchen? This modern beach cottage kitchen continues a theme from the rest of the home that makes it unique: a color palette with a mix of striking primary and secondary colors like red, blue, yellow, green, and purple.

Show Off Glassware on Open Shelving

The long open shelves in this kitchen are used to display pieces made of a natural material that’s often found near beaches: glass.

The glassware and ceramics, the rustic pots hanging over the stove, and the comfortable seating help make the kitchen feel warm and inviting.

Go With a Timeless Blue

You can instantly create a classic beach cottage kitchen with light blue cabinets and a few key pieces of décor, like blue or green bottles on the counter, a wicker basket, and cup pull handles. If they’re in good condition, refinish your cabinets to save on your kitchen remodeling costs.

Create a Sea Glass Color Palette

Everyone loves discovering smooth, colorful pieces of sea glass on the beach. You could design your entire beach cottage kitchen with the striking yet calming colors of sea glass and natural sand and wood.

You’ll want to make sure that the kitchen remodeling professional you choose has experience designing kitchens with this look, so browse portfolios before you hire anyone.

Think Small When It Comes to Accents

An accent wall doesn’t have to be huge. Look at how much this small sea-green wall influences the rest of this cozy beach cottage kitchen. You can accomplish something similar with kitchen islands—it’s possible to fit a kitchen island into many small spaces, depending on your layout.

Add a Wet Bar or a Coffee Bar

The designer of this beach cottage kitchen had an entire wall left to fill—perfect for a wet bar.  If you have a kitchen desk collecting clutter, try converting it into a dry bar or coffee bar where you can prep refreshments.

Create Definition in Bright Spaces With Natural Wood

If your design floods your kitchen with natural light, consider adding natural wood flooring and plants. This will help ground the space, so it’ll feel even more expansive above eye level.
