This bright kitchen commands ocean views outside and a bold sense of style inside. The backsplash is especially exciting, with its custom pattern echoing the movement of the wind and water.

A huge cutout in the ceiling of this open plan kitchen and dining area vaults up, ending in a skylight. It's a dramatic way to flood the space with bright, natural light.

The backsplash in this kitchen was planned with movement in mind, the tiles and colors floating across the wall. Gray-blue pendants in a mix of geometric shapes are another fun surprise of color.

This open concept kitchen and dining area offer a contemporary twist on the coastal look. Rustic wood is combined with sleek blue accents. And windows everywhere make ocean views a big part of the overall mood.
