Infuse light wood notes

Light oakwood works exceptionally well with bohemian designs, so use it to construct your cupboards, kitchen bar, and adjacent dining table.

Leave the rest of the room’s elements, like the cabinets and floor white, then accessorize with potted plants, macrame hangers, and a woven table runner.

Keep it subtle

Instead of going all out with the boho coastal theme, keep it subtle.

Have a plain white kitchen with handlelesscupboards and a shiny finish.

Add light-colored wicker bar stools and wooden floating shelves.

Finally, decorate the space with a potted trailing plant.

Install gold hardware

Add a touch of luxury to your boho coastal kitchen with gold accents.

This room features all-white cabinets and storage cupboards.

It also has a white top island with woven chairs.

The rest of the elements including the knobs, handles, light fixtures, and decorative fish statue, are golden.

Add a woven wall hanging

Woven wall hangings will instantly make your kitchen space look boho-chic.

Make sure your kitchen is pristine white, well-lit, and minimalistic.

Hang a natural fiber and jute woven mat on one of the adjacent walls and add light wood and woven high chairs to the breakfast island.

Blue, white, and gold color scheme

Blue, white, and gold is a lovely coastal color scheme for your kitchen.

Start with powder blue cabinets, cupboards, and drawers.

Lay down a white fringed carpet and install white in-built appliances.

Lastly, fix a gold faucet, handles, hood, and knobs.

Try sage green color

Incorporate green hues into your boho coastal theme kitchen for an unexpected twist.

Paint all your cupboards and kitchen island columns sage green, and cover the walls with white subway tiles.

For the island, install a marble top and place wooden stools with navy polka dot cushions around it.

Add green notes

To capture the essence of the coast, infuse green color notes around.

Install a green hexagon tile backsplash, paint the cabinets, and cupboard a dull green, then get navy-colored crockery.

Finish the look with woven mesh cabinet doors.

Eclectic bohemian style

Mix and match various styles, textures, and colors.

Place a large runner carpet in the center of a multi-colored kitchen, then add lots of ornaments and decorations to the counters and shelves.

Also, don’t forget to display all your favorite china, utensils, and crockery.

Install wicker chandeliers

In a plain white acrylic kitchen, install wicker chandeliers to add natural texture and warm light.

This design has rattan dome-shaped ones over the kitchen island.

The room also has wood notes from the grainy flat bar stools and polished floor panels.

Decorate with rustic pieces

Sometimes, all you need to elevate your kitchen to a boho coastal vibe is strategically placed rustic décor items.

Get carved wood bowls, woven baskets, and grainy boards and place them around the room.

Complete the look with a rustic floor sculpture as the focal point.

Try nautical stripes

Make your kitchen feel like a marine ship with this look.

It features a white kitchen with paneled cupboards and a herringbone backsplash.

The island has a glossy acrylic top with a light grey support base.

Its accompanying chair covershave navy and white stripes.

Bamboo weaving

Try something different from the typical boho fabrics and choose bamboo for your chair and wicker chandelier.

Start with a snow-grey kitchen color scheme with dashes of black in the hood and stove.

The chairs should be shelled with bamboo weaving and black legs.

Install a weathered wood island

Another idea is having an obnoxiously large weathered wood island in the middle of your kitchen.

The grey tones will contrast the white walls and complement the wicker chandeliers overhead.

Add woven chairs around the island, then decorate with light blue vases and ornaments.

Go for paneled walls

Paneling will create dimension and depth in your kitchen.

Try it on your baby blue wooden cupboards, walls, and kitchen bar surfaces.

The rest of the room should be white with a plant vase, painting, and a multi-bulb chandelier to decorate and add visual appeal.

Patterned wallpaper

In this white kitchen space, add a powder blue island with a glossy acrylic top.

The cabinets and cupboards should be plain white with silver hardware.

As a finishing touch, install beige patterned wallpaper on one side of the wall as the stove’s backsplash.

Add azure blue tones

Coastal colors are not only light.

They can be dark too.

Start with a pearly white kitchen and add coastal boho elements with woven placemats, fruit baskets, and rustic cutting boards.

Decorate the space with azure-colored china and plates with intricate patterns and designs.

Hints of mint green

Dashes of mint green will add a playful ambiance to your kitchen.

All you need is mint green high-gloss tiles for the stove backsplash, mint paint for the kitchen island, and green abstract wall paintings.

The rest of the room should be white with oblong wicker chandeliers and woven bar stools.

Hang an ocean-themed picture

Blue should be your kitchen’s main color, with sky-blue cabinets, drawers, and backsplash.

Install rustic grey weathered cupboards and a white breakfast bar.

From there, hang a large, deep blue framed picture of ocean tides as the room’s centerpiece.
