DESIGN TIPS

Mix warm wood cabinets with dark, textured charcoal finishes to give the kitchen depth. Keep the design clean by using handleless doors so the focus stays on the wood grains. Lastly, soften big blocks of cabinetry by adding a built-in open display shelves.

The organic look of the kitchen cabinetry is designed to balance the raw structure of the contemporary beach home, which features polished concrete ceilings and cold stone-look floor tiles. The natural wood grain injects immediate warmth and balances the industrial shell.

FAQ

What is a "contemporary coastal" kitchen style?

Unlike traditional beach theme with blue accents and seashells, contemporary coastal style relies on organic minimalism. It blends clean, contemporary lines with natural materials like raw concrete, textured stone, timber-look joinery to mimic the coastal landscape in a sophisticated way.

Is a contemporary coastal kitchen more expensive to build?

Using premium organic materials like natural timber veneer and natural stone does sit at a higher price point, and more importantly, requires more care and maintenance.

However, there are many other material options that deliver a very similar look at a much more budget-friendly cost. Our designers are familiar with the different materials and their costings across premium local brands, and can design to create the look based on your budget.
