Modern Beach House Avoids Coastal Cliché
Not one seashell can be found in this open-air oasis on Kiawah. Instead, simple sophistication infuses this kitchen with serene beauty. Neutral colors and organic textures fill the space, while unexpected moments of glamour shine through in the backsplash tiles, hardware, and appliances. Keeping practicality top of the mind, the design prioritizes functional flow and offers ample work space for cooking and entertaining.
FAMILY-CENTRIC DESIGN
The kitchen accommodates a large family with ample seating and multiple workspaces, promoting a communal cooking and dining experience.
MODERN BEACH HOUSE VIBE
Avoiding the stereotypical white kitchen and sea-shell décor of classic beach homes, the homeowners desired something more modern. The serene neutral palette and clean lines achieve this goal, enhancing the coastal vibe without being cliché.
A TOUCH OF GLAMOUR
Smoked-crystal light fixtures, brushed brass hardware, lustrous tile backsplash, and bronze bezels on the Wolf Range elevate the overall design, adding sophistication and contrast.
OPEN-AIR OASIS
Nestled in the grove of surrounding palmettos, the home is an open-air oasis. The kitchen seamlessly connects to these generous outdoor living and dining spaces, enhancing functionality and enjoyment for all who seek respite there.
INTEGRATED APPLIANCES
Behind painted wood-paneled cabinetry, Sub-Zero Refrigeration and Cove Dishwashers silently work away, providing dependable performance while preserving the kitchen’s streamlined aesthetic.
