# Picture a coastal kitchen of white, soft blue and natural wood

Coastal kitchens are bright and easy to clean: white or pale blue shaker cabinets, a white or light marble look worktop, a glossy white or soft blue tile splashback that catches light, open wood shelves with white dishes, rattan or woven pendants over the island and wood or rattan stools. The blue often lives on the island or the tile rather than every cabinet. Upload a photo of your kitchen to ImageQuarry, ask for the coastal version, and compare where the blue goes before you paint.

Compare where the blue goes on your own kitchen before you paint.

## How to plan a coastal kitchen with ImageQuarry

1. **Photograph the island and window** Coastal kitchens rely on light, so frame the window and the island.
2. **Ask for white cabinets** Describe white shaker cabinets and a light marble look worktop.
3. **Choose where blue goes** On that version, ask for a pale blue island or a soft blue tile splashback, one in each request.
4. **Add woven texture** Ask for rattan pendants and wood stools, then compare.

## Coastal kitchen requests to try

Requests to ask for. Each produces a new version you can compare with the last.

- **White cabinets**: A bright base.
- **Pale blue island**: Color in one place.
- **Glossy tile**: Catches light.
- **Light worktop**: Marble look.
- **Rattan pendants**: Woven light.
- **Wood stools**: Natural seating.

## What a coastal kitchen needs

Coastal kitchens favour light, glossy and wipeable surfaces, a practical choice in sandy, salty homes.

- **White or pale cabinets**: White shaker fronts give a bright, classic base.
- **Blue in one place**: An island, a splashback or a run of uppers in soft blue.
- **Light reflecting surfaces**: Glossy tile and pale worktops bounce daylight around.
- **Woven and natural pieces**: Rattan pendants, wood stools and open wood shelves.
- **Your kitchen in versions**: Start from a photo you upload and describe the change; each request builds on the selected version.
- **Branch to place the blue**: Branch from the white version to try the blue on the island and the tile and keep both.

## Planning a coastal kitchen

## What is a coastal kitchen?

A coastal kitchen is a bright kitchen with white shaker cabinets, soft blue on the island or tile, glossy light reflecting surfaces, a pale worktop and woven pendants and stools.

_It is not the same as a modern farmhouse kitchen, which adds an apron sink, black hardware and rustic beams._

## Coastal kitchen questions

### Can I see a blue island in my kitchen?

Upload the photo, select it and ask for the island color, naming what to keep. Compare the new version with the original.

### Island or splashback for the blue?

Both work. An island is easier to repaint later; tile is more permanent. Compare both.

### Which blues suit it?

Pale sky blue, duck egg, seafoam and soft navy.

### Is a white kitchen hard to keep clean?

Glossy tile and quartz wipe clean; matte white fronts show marks more.

### Can I keep adjusting this coastal kitchen?

Yes. Each request builds on the kitchen version you selected, so you can change one coastal detail at a time.

### Can I compare coastal kitchen versions and download one?

Yes. Line up the coastal kitchen versions you made, choose the one you would build, and download it to share with whoever is quoting the work.
