Functional Kitchen Design – Airy, Relaxed, Beach Inspired Kitchen

Location: Nashville, TN

Designer Credits: Bohnne Jones

Project Overview:

This couple wanted a streamlined, one-stop shop process in their kitchen, as they both have demanding careers. Their most important desire was the overall look and feel: cozy – but not dark, a seamless flow from one room into the next, and while the wife’s favorite color is gray, the husband likes a bit of whimsy. For inspiration, we used their favorite vacation spot: the beach!

The cabinet layout was designed to make a space that provided everything desired, including more storage. They chose a simple shaker cabinet in two finishes – a white with a gray linen finish, and gray for the vent hood and island. Cambria countertop material was selected to imitate wave impressions on sand, like at the beach! The sparkly blue backsplash imitates calm water. We combined the design work for the dining and family rooms to create a pleasing flow.
