Light wood cabinets and big picture windows bring the outdoors inside with this neutral coastal kitchen. When combined with white cabinetry, this warm palette creates a calm backdrop. The view may be the center of attention in this home but you can’t deny feeling invited in.
Medium brown wood floating shelves are fixed in front of a marble slab backsplash to add sophistication in this kitchen. They are installed beside white cabinets which are stacked under glass front cabinets. These also rest above a stainless-steel sink with a dual brass gooseneck faucet. A white wood hood is fixed over a stainless-steel oven range facing a blue center island fitted with a brass gooseneck faucet mounted to a honed marble countertop.
To incorporate natural textures into your kitchen without making it feel cluttered, consider adding a few key pieces with a significant impact. This could be a rattan barstool, pendant lighting made from woven materials, or a wood cutting boards or décor.
As a teenager or young adult, I never felt that I “loved to cook”. For me, it was a chore or something that I “had” to do because my mom told me to help in the all-dreaded kitchen. However, now, married to someone who enjoys cooking, I have a new outlook and perspective. We are “Cooking Experiences” together and creating memories with our meals! Many factors contribute to this love or hate relationship that so many have with cooking; personality traits, prior cooking experiences, knowledge passed down from one generation to the next. If you can shift your mindset to “I want to cook experiences,” you can actually enjoy the time spent in your kitchen.
