Now that summer is almost here, we all dream of heading to the beach to enjoy the positive vibes of the coastal area. Indeed, such positive vibes can refresh your mood and create a warm and inviting feeling.
So, how about giving that vibe to your kitchen?
If you love a breezy look inspired by sand and sea, bringing that ocean vibe to your space can be your best bet. A chic coastal look can instantly uplift your space and help you reflect your personality.
However, revamping the kitchen based on a theme can be challenging. So, if you are confused about how to design your space and where to start, don’t panic! We’ve rounded up the details about this popular theme to make the remodelling process easier for you, including key elements, wall colours, fixtures, and finishing touches. So, let’s begin:
First of all, initiate your remodelling journey by experimenting with different shades of colours. When you think of the beach, and coastal vibes, the colours that come to your mind are blue and white. Know that these coastal vibe colours are excellent to give that nautical accent to your space. While white adds brightness to your space, blue, on the other hand, shows the ocean vibes.
However, to give that beach look, paint all the appliances white, such as cabinets, walls, countertop, etc. Another option is a blue kitchen with a pale shade on the walls and a deeper blue for the cabinets.
Cabinets play a crucial role in your home – both in terms of function and enhancing its overall look. The cabinet you choose should be light in colour to bring that beach look to your space.
While blue and white are perfect colours for the cabinet, don’t be afraid to go for a woody brown. And, if painting the cabinets is not an option, investing in ready to assemble cabinets can be your best bet.
It can be a great decision as you’ll have the choice to customize the cabinets as per your preferences, such as size, colours, materials, etc. These cabinets are perfect if you are a DIY person. Once you have the cabinet available, you can take steps to assemble them with complete ease. They can give that luxurious look to your space, no matter the size, without breaking your bank.
Some small touches can instantly enhance your kitchen’s appearance by giving that beachy vibe to it. It should reflect your character with a beachy look.
Thereby, it is wise to experiment with different DIY ideas. You can try experimenting with hanging the inspiring quotations, and glass decor, such as bottles and vases, to boost the natural light.
You can bring the ocean into your space with themed touches, such as napkin holders or hangers for cups. Also, furnishings with stripes can bring the nautical accent and blue hues.
Countertops are often light in colour. A creamy white countertop can imitate the sky and sandy beaches. With its dense functionality, it can easily withstand scratches and stains. Similar to quartz, glass countertops use recycled glass integrated with polishes.
No matter the type of countertops, always go for the light colours and tones to enhance your space’s overall look and lighting.
When you are revamping your space, how can you miss the flooring? In 2022 and beyond, you will see the wooden flooring in every space. Natural wood brings a nice texture to your space giving you a sigh of relief while creating a positive atmosphere.
The flooring should be able to stand up to water and sand. However, you can choose the flooring colour as per your choice. A light-coloured oak can make your small space look bigger, while a darker finish will provide a contract against lighter cupboards.
However, if you have bare flooring, it can be coated with paint, making it easier for you to clean it up. Also, you can go for earthy tiles as they work well because of their hardwearing and easy-to-clean functionality.
Every kitchen style has some wall art. The wall art can easily complement the theme you choose.
For example, if you revamp your space to bring that beach look, you can add wall art, such as photos of yachts, boats, water, or nautical accessories. Remember, when choosing the wall art for your space, make sure the frame is white to match the theme.
Today, most people use canvas pictures of the beach, beach grass, or other natural themes. You can hang the wall art either horizontally or vertically to match the coastal area theme of your space. Also, painting it with white can create a warm and inviting feeling.
A beach-style space might have a tray ceiling, making a smaller kitchen look more prominent.
Using the colour white for the ceiling can enhance the lighting of your space. A white ceiling base with wooden beams can work well to match the beach theme of your space.
Lastly, add a coastal scent to your space with candles and diffusers made from different essential oils. Indeed, scents can stimulate happy memories of seasons past.
