As I already said in this post about 10 easy ways to nail coastal kitchen design, I’ve been to Italy last year and the experience inspired me to create a series of blog posts all about coastal kitchen designs. This article is about kitchen accessories that would help you easily create a coastal vibe in your kitchen.
Creating a coastal kitchen is all about selecting accessories that evoke the serenity and beauty of the seaside. Here are some popular coastal kitchen accessories that can help you achieve that breezy, beach-inspired look.

6. Textiles with a Coastal Flair
Incorporate coastal table linens like runners, placemats, and napkins in cool, sea-inspired colors or bright oceanic prints. Orange stripes work really well as well, as it evokes the feeling of tropical nature, fruits or juice – everything related to vacations, the sea, and the beach.
Avoid cliche patterns, like starfish and seashells. Try to capture the feeling and create the atmosphere with abstract patterns and beachy colors.
You can use textiles on pillows if you have a kitchen nook as well.

8. Wall Decor and Artwork
Hang marine-inspired wall art or decorative palm fronds to add visual interest and a coastal vibe to your kitchen walls. I personally prefer more abstract artworks that create the vibes with abstract shapes and relatable colors, but it’s a very personal choice. If you like seashells and starfish, go for it!

9. Coastal Lighting
Lighting fixtures can play a significant role in setting the mood.
Install pendant lamps or rattan pendant lights that cast a warm, inviting glow reminiscent of a seaside retreat.
If rattan pendants seem somewhat cliche, opt for glass pendant lights, a glass bubble chandelier, or copper light fixtures. They can mimic the reflective properties of water and contribute to the coastal theme.
