This Breezy Coastal Kitchen is Basically a Nancy Meyers Movie IRL
If you love the fisherman aesthetic but have wondered how to actually do it well, then look no further than this Nags Head, North Carolina kitchen. Designers Arianna Pannoni and Kasey Bedford of Winsome Interior Design infused the entire coastal new build home, which belongs to Kasey’s family, with cottagecore charm and trendy-yet-timeless hits of salty, sun-washed style, with a few English-inspired accents thrown in for good measure. The team only had one goal in mind when Kasey’s parents brought them on to shepherd the project: to make the home as well-loved and lived-in as the one the family had previously inhabited for 20 years.See below for the 9 ways they achieved that look in the kitchen and breakfast nook: FOR MORE ON COASTAL STYLE: Stacy Zarin GoldbegAn eclectic mix of color and pattern add timeworn charm to this newly built beach house kitchen.Embrace a Coastal Color PaletteTo accomplish that casual, lived-in ease in the kitchen, Kasey and Arianna started with a color palette that looks equal parts sun-drenched and sea-sprayed. Floors painted ocean blue, which were pre-aged to give them extra patina, are grounding while airy white walls unify the antiques-filled open-concept space. Green and blue textiles throughout the kitchen enhance the coastal feel.

Countertops of ogee-edged Calacatta Oro marble and matching extended backsplashes add an elevated touch.RELATED: Quartz v. Marble: Which Is Right For You?Bring In A White Oak Island Topped with a slab of warm white oak that mimics driftwood, the eight-foot-long center island serves as a central gathering spot during family vacations. It provides enough room for grab-and-go snacks tucked neatly in a dough bowl as well as casual family lunches enjoyed between trips to the beach. The island's softly curved corners foster a hang-around vibe during cocktail hour. Above the island, a chic rise-and-fall pendant with ruffled ceramic shades adds subtle British flair.

Prioritize Good Scenery “We decided that the best view in the home should be reserved for the person doing the dishes,” says Kasey. The team positioned a fireclay apron-front sink, paired with an unlacquered brass bridge faucet, under the ceiling-height windows to maximize the dreamy view. Woven window shades provide texture and privacy.Get the Look: Faucet: Studio McGee Bridge Faucet by Kohler Sink: Fireclay Apron Front Sink from Home Depot Add Historic Charm with Plate RacksFinished in the same custom creamy taupe as the cabinetry, the dish-storage duo flanking the large windows adds historic charm and encourages a relaxed, help-yourself attitude befitting a vacation home.
