To create a coastal-inspired kitchen decor, consider adding a kitchen island with a stainless steel countertop. The sleek and shiny surface of the stainless steel complements the light and airy feel of a coastal design. Pair it with white cabinets, beach-inspired accessories, and natural materials for a fresh and relaxing look. The stainless steel countertop is resistant to corrosion and easy to clean, making it perfect for a kitchen near the coast.
