For a coastal nautical theme in your light wood kitchen, consider opting for a coastal blue color scheme. Paint the cabinets in a soft blue shade and pair them with white countertops for a fresh and beachy look. Install a white subway tile backsplash to add a touch of classic coastal charm. Enhance the theme by incorporating seashell-shaped drawer pulls and knobs. To create a breezy atmosphere, hang sheer white curtains on the windows and add a few potted plants for a touch of greenery. Decorate the kitchen with coastal-inspired artwork, such as paintings of sailboats or beach landscapes. Complete the coastal blue kitchen with a few nautical accessories like a ship's wheel wall clock or a rope-wrapped pendant light. This kitchen will make you feel like you're dining by the seaside every day.
