Why It Works

Coastal kitchens succeed by bringing the breeze indoors. White shaker cabinetry with brushed nickel or brass hardware, quartz countertops in sandy tones, and blue glass tile backsplashes create a workspace that feels fresh and inviting. Open shelving displays white ceramics and blue-tinted glassware.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a coastal kitchen redesign cost?

Costs vary widely based on scope. A cosmetic refresh with paint, textiles, and accessories can start at $500-$2,000. A full renovation with new furniture, lighting, and surfaces typically runs $5,000-$25,000+ depending on room size and material quality. Using Layoutly AI to visualize changes first helps you prioritize spending where it matters most.

Can I achieve a coastal kitchen look on a budget?

Absolutely. Focus on the highest-impact, lowest-cost changes first: paint, textiles (throws, cushions, rugs), and lighting can dramatically shift a room's feel. Thrift stores and online marketplaces are great sources for coastal furniture. Layoutly helps you test budget-friendly options before purchasing.

How do I use AI to redesign my kitchen in coastal style?

Upload a photo of your current kitchen to Layoutly and select the coastal style. The AI will generate a redesigned version showing exactly how your space would look with coastal elements. You can adjust colors, furniture, and materials to refine the design, then use the result as a reference for shopping and hiring contractors.
