A small kitchen that chooses a coastal nautical theme with beachy decor can be transformed into a rustic coastal retreat. The color palette can consist of earthy tones such as sandy beige, weathered gray, and seafoam green. The cabinets can be made of reclaimed wood or painted in a distressed finish to create a rustic look. The backsplash can feature subway tiles in a seafoam green shade, reminiscent of the ocean. Open shelving can be installed to display beach-inspired accessories such as driftwood accents, woven baskets, and vintage glass bottles. A farmhouse-style sink with a copper faucet can be added to enhance the rustic charm. The dining area can be furnished with a farmhouse table and mismatched chairs, creating a cozy and inviting space. This rustic coastal kitchen brings the warmth and charm of a beachside cottage into a small kitchen space.
