Full Overview

California Coastal,
Effortless Living

The Coastal collection captures the relaxed sophistication of Southern California beachside living — whitewashed wood, natural stone, and organic textures create kitchens that feel light, open, and connected to the landscape.

The Inspiration

Coastal kitchens are designed for the way Southern Californians actually live — barefoot, social, and connected to the outdoors. Light-toned woods, weathered textures, and ocean-inspired palettes create spaces that feel like an extension of the beach landscape.

Every surface is chosen for how it feels and wears — tactile, forgiving, and beautiful whether sun-bleached after years of use or fresh from installation. This is a kitchen that welcomes sand on the floor and salt in the air.

Designed for the Coast

Yanis Remodeling installs Coastal kitchens in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, San Clemente, Huntington Beach, Manhattan Beach, Malibu, and beach communities throughout Orange County and Los Angeles.

Each Coastal installation is adapted to your home — whether a beachfront property, a coastal cottage, or a hilltop contemporary with ocean views. We tailor finishes and materials to complement coastal light conditions and salt-air environments.

Coastal is light, relaxed, and quietly elegant. Soft whites, pale woods, and breezy textures create kitchens that feel open and uplifting. Lines are simple, proportions are gentle, and nothing feels heavy or overdesigned.

Coastal is made for easy mornings and open spaces. Windows open, light flows, and the kitchen becomes a natural gathering place. It feels fresh, welcoming, and connected to everyday life.

Materials & Finishes

Soft white shaker cabinetry, light oak accents, honed quartz surfaces, and brushed brass hardware chosen for their airy warmth and effortless elegance.

Experience

Each Coastal kitchen is designed to embrace natural light and open living — creating spaces that feel both refined and relaxed.

Natural Textures,
Coastal Palette

Whitewashed & Cerused Oak Cabinetry

Solid white oak cabinetry with whitewash, ceruse, or driftwood finishes that highlight the natural grain pattern. Shaker-style door profiles with soft-radius edges. All finishes use UV-stable marine-grade sealants engineered for coastal environments — resistant to salt air, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Honed Limestone & Quartzite Surfaces

Countertops in honed Moleanos limestone (warm ivory), White Macaubas quartzite (soft grey veining), and Taj Mahal quartzite (warm gold tones). Honed finishes complement the matte, tactile quality of the Coastal aesthetic while providing superior durability for daily use.

Brushed Nickel & Weathered Brass

Cabinet hardware in brushed nickel, weathered brass, and rope-wrapped pulls. Classic coastal profiles including bin pulls, ring pulls, and bar handles with subtly rounded edges. All hardware uses marine-grade alloys rated for salt-air environments.

Natural Fiber & Glass Accents

Glass-front cabinet doors with seeded or reeded glass panels, woven rattan drawer fronts, and open shelving in reclaimed teak or driftwood-finished pine. These accent elements introduce organic texture and visual lightness throughout the kitchen.

Collection Features

From Inspiration
to Installation

Every Coastal kitchen starts with understanding your home, your lifestyle, and your relationship with the coast. Here is how we bring relaxed California living into your kitchen.

Consult

Coastal Home Assessment

We visit your home to evaluate coastal exposure, natural light patterns, indoor-outdoor flow, and existing architectural character. We discuss how you use your kitchen — morning coffee routines, family dinners, weekend entertaining. Together we explore Coastal finish and material options. Complimentary consultation.

Design

Light-Filled Design Development

Our designers create layouts that maximize natural light and ocean views while providing full functionality. 3D renderings show material selections, hardware placement, and how coastal light interacts with your chosen finishes. Design phase: 2-3 weeks.

Material Selection & Coastal Specification

All materials are specified for coastal performance — marine-grade sealants, UV-stable finishes, and humidity-resistant substrates. Visit our studio to approve whitewash tones, stone slabs, and hardware finishes in natural light. Lead time: 5-7 weeks.

Build

Construction & Installation

Our team handles all demolition, structural work, and installation. Coastal-specific details include moisture barriers behind cabinetry, stainless steel fasteners, and marine-grade adhesives. A dedicated project manager provides weekly updates. Installation: 4-7 weeks.

Reveal

Completion & Coastal Care Guide

Final walkthrough covering finish quality, hardware operation, and appliance function. We provide detailed care protocols for maintaining whitewashed wood and natural stone in coastal environments — including humidity management and salt-air maintenance schedules.

Investment Range

$65,000 — $150,000

Based on kitchen size, wood species, countertop material, and coastal-grade specification requirements. Marine-grade finishes and natural stone are the primary variables. Timeline: 9 to 14 weeks from design approval.

Experience

The Coastal experience is as relaxed as the kitchens we create. From your first consultation through final walkthrough, we handle every detail — permits, material sourcing, trade coordination, and quality control — so you can focus on enjoying the process of creating your dream kitchen.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Coastal kitchen installations range from $65,000 to $150,000 depending on kitchen size, finish complexity, countertop material, and appliance integration. A mid-range Coastal kitchen with cerused oak cabinetry, honed quartzite countertops, and integrated appliances averages $90,000 to $115,000 in the Orange County and Los Angeles coastal market.

From design approval to completion, expect 9 to 14 weeks. This includes 5-7 weeks for material sourcing and cabinetry fabrication, followed by 4-7 weeks of on-site installation.

Yes. All Coastal finishes use marine-grade sealants and UV-stable coatings engineered for oceanfront environments. Whitewash and ceruse finishes are applied over sealed substrates with multiple protective topcoats. Hardware uses marine-grade alloys resistant to salt corrosion. We recommend annual maintenance sealing for homes within direct ocean exposure zones.

Absolutely. Coastal Transitional is one of our most requested combinations — pairing whitewashed wood with clean-lined cabinetry, waterfall stone islands, and contemporary hardware. We calibrate the ratio of traditional coastal elements to modern details based on your home architecture and personal style.

Yes. While Coastal draws from beach-inspired aesthetics, it works beautifully in any Southern California home. We install throughout Orange County (Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Irvine, Mission Viejo) and Los Angeles County (Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes, Santa Monica, and inland communities).

We recommend honed quartzite (White Macaubas, Taj Mahal) or engineered quartz for coastal homes — they offer natural stone beauty with superior resistance to moisture and salt. Honed limestone is beautiful but requires more maintenance in high-humidity environments. We discuss pros and cons of each option during your materials consultation.

Coastal materials and finishes are well-suited for covered outdoor kitchen areas. Marine-grade cabinetry, weather-resistant hardware, and outdoor-rated stone surfaces extend the coastal aesthetic to patios, pool areas, and covered outdoor dining spaces. We design indoor-outdoor kitchen connections as a specialty.

Coastal finishes include UV-inhibitor coatings that prevent yellowing and color shift from sun exposure. For homes with extensive south-facing glass, we recommend ceruse or driftwood finishes that naturally absorb light rather than reflect it. Window treatments and strategic cabinet placement also help manage direct sun exposure on finished surfaces.
