A Modern Coastal Kitchen designed by Kate Marker Interiors is beautifully designed and checks every women’s dream kitchen design essentials.


1. A Beautiful Kitchen Design

This kitchen boasts plenty of light, blonde wood floors, and woven leather counter stools surround a large kitchen island which is lit by a trio of white and brass cone pendant lights. A Wolf dual range sits between white drawers topped with a white quartz countertop and fixed against a white marble slab backsplash flanked by glass front display cabinets. Refrigerator and freezer drawers are concealed by white wood paneled doors accented with brass hardware, the cabinets and encased with wood trim. This dream kitchen also features a built-in coffee area flanked by open storage shelving and a pretty window seat with more built-in storage sits beneath a large window.


2. Pick the Perfect Counter Stools

Counter Stools and Bar stools come in different heights. Normally, kitchen counters are 35” to 37” tall, therefore, the stools height should be 23” to 28” tall. Choose counter seating that matches the style of your kitchen. The kitchen, that I am featuring today, the interior designer chose a woven leather counter stool that has modern, streamlined silhouette which fits in beautifully with the neutral sophisticated aesthetic. Lastly, think about the counter stool details that you would like, the quality of the materials used, added features- a footrest and a back would provide be a welcomed comfort.
