White is a popular choice for walls and cabinets, providing a clear backdrop for a pop of ocean-inspired colors, although it&#8217;s certainly not the only option. For a little more vibrant, consider dune grass greens and bold corals for a tropical touch.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\">Colors of the beach-style kitchen:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"\">Neutral color on the beach. Driftwood, soft beige, white, ocean mist<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\">Blue and green. Aqua, sea glass, turquoise, cyan, sea green, navy blue<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Bright color accents.

Look for blue, aqua green, or coral stoves, refrigerators, or both to add color and style to your space. Note that you may need to balance vibrant appliances with calming white and wood tones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"313\" height=\"368\" class=\"wp-image-556 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-371.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-371.png 313w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-371-255x300.png 255w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-371-124x146.png 124w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-371-43x50.png 43w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-371-64x75.png 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Light-Colored Counters<\/h3>\n<p>Light-colored stones such as marble and quartz have an attractive, elegant, and airy look that is perfect for beach kitchens. Engineered quartz (pictured) has a non-porous surface, while recycled glass and cement are heat- and scratch-resistant, making them easy to care for.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"413\" height=\"284\" class=\"wp-image-557 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-372.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-372.png 413w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-372-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-372-212x146.png 212w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-372-50x34.png 50w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-372-109x75.png 109w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Indoor and Outdoor Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>Even if your home is far from the beach, the connection to the outdoors is a big plus of a beach-style kitchen. Consider adding through-windows or glass doors to your deck. Isn&#8217;t it an option? Tropical leaves cut out of vases, potted plants, nature-woven decorations and displays of fresh fruit are reminiscent of outdoor living.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-558  aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-373.png\" width=\"285\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-373.png 313w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-373-226x300.png 226w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-373-110x146.png 110w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-373-38x50.png 38w, https:\/\/www.kitchenprefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pasted-373-56x75.png 56w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Design Details: Marine Lighting<\/h3>\n<p>Like the sturdy lantern lights on the docks and boats, these fixtures look just like at home in the beach kitchen.
