You can bring the beauty of the ocean to your kitchen regardless of whether you can smell the sea breeze from your backyard, or the closest body of water is a plane ride away.  

Here are 5 take away tips to decorating your kitchen coastal style!

1. Consider your color palette: blues, greens, beige...think beach colors!

2.  Ever heard of beach glass?  Collect some in a clear glass jar and display anywhere!  Or you can get even more creative and have a colored glass tabletop installed.

3.  Seating Options: don’t be afraid to “mix and match” chairs- different types of chairs, and even a bench can add to the relaxed vibe of your new kitchen.

4.  Choose a variety of fabrics for window treatments and upholstery.  Remember, things have to “go” together, not necessarily “match.”

5.  Embrace Texture: A beautiful wood table or sideboard from a yard sale or even beautiful wood bowls or accessories can be a texture substitute if you have tile floors, for example.
