To create a beachy and relaxed atmosphere in your kitchen, consider adding a coastal-inspired island with a seating area. This island can be made from light-colored wood or painted in shades of blue or white to evoke a coastal vibe. The seating area can be furnished with wicker or rattan bar stools, reminiscent of beachside lounging. The coastal-inspired island adds a touch of tranquility and vacation-like feel to your kitchen decor, making it a soothing and inviting space.
