Get The Coastal Look With These Replacement Cabinet Doors

From a bohemian and artsy beachside vibe to a classic space inspired by the impressive coastal properties in Cape Cod, this is a design style that offers a surprising degree of versatility. 

If you want your kitchen to evoke the way it feels to spend time near water, here's our advice as to how to bring your vision to reality.

Designing a Coastal Inspired Kitchen 

Play with a classic white and blue colour palette 

While you may initially think that a white and blue colour palette is rather too literal for a coastal inspired space, it’s a classic colour combination that will instantly bring peace and calm to a room.

It’s also a colour combination that makes space to get playful with other tones and textures. So, you could choose to incorporate lots of natural materials and grounding neutral colours to lean into a relaxed beachy vibe, or you can incorporate antiques with grand flourishes to embrace a more traditional look and feel. 

Our Bella Richmond replacement cabinet doors embrace both classic and modern elements, with their clean lines and simple central panel. Our entire Bella range is available in 60 colours, and there are several options that will suit a coastal inspired blue and white colour scheme, including antique white, colonial blue, denim, and Scandinavian blue. 

Pro Tip: Incorporating a variety of blue tones will ensure your kitchen never feels overly coordinated or curated. Try mixing flashes of rich navy or indigo blue with warm cornflower and fresh pastel blue hues.

Layer neutrals for an airy and grounded space 

Neutral tones can be just as calming, relaxing and timeless as blue hues, so if your ideal of coastal chic isn’t quite so literal, layering neutral tones can be a great way to create a fresh take on this classic style. 

Beige, vanilla and cashmere tones are not only warm and inviting, they also pair beautifully with a wide palette of earthy tones, including sage green and terracotta. This take on a coastal look also lends itself well to incorporating natural wood tones, and our Bella Aldridge replacement cabinet doors in a chic Halifax natural oak finish can provide strong foundations for your space.

Pro Tip: You can also play with incorporating flashes of more intense tones in a neutral space, such as a stormy slate grey or a verdant green.

Use fabrics to inject softness into your space

Lightweight fabrics with a floaty and breezy feel are the perfect choice for curtains in a coastal inspired kitchen. They also have an inherent softness about them, which makes them ideal for establishing a sense of balance between the light and more intense colours you may want to play with.

Light is really important in any coastal inspired space, and as it’s really important not to block out too much natural light, a sheer, floaty fabric in a light colour is often ideal. A lightweight fabric will also move beautifully in the breeze, bringing gentle movement to your kitchen.

Experiment with understated textures 

There are many different ways to experiment with textures, including choosing a printed wallpaper featuring whimsical shells or boats. However, another not-so-obvious option is to choose textured replacement cabinet doors and allow your cabinets to become a significant feature in your space.

Our Valore replacement cabinet doors are available in a variety of finishes with interesting patterns and textures, including natural chalet oak and driftwood light grey, which can bring an additional sense of dimension to your kitchen.
