Create a beachy and relaxed vibe in your small kitchen by incorporating open shelving. Opt for white or light-colored shelves to mimic the look of sun-bleached driftwood. Display your collection of seashells, coastal-themed dishware, and beach-inspired decor. The open shelving adds a sense of airiness to the space, making it feel larger and brighter. It's the perfect way to bring a touch of the seaside into your home and showcase your love for all things coastal.
