Trending Kitchen Designs for 2025: Coastal Inspiration for New Jersey Homes, Long Beach Island Homes
Kitchen design trends are evolving to reflect both functionality and style—especially in coastal communities like Long Beach Island and greater Ocean County, New Jersey. Whether you're renovating a beach house or upgrading your year-round residence, these fresh trends are perfect for capturing that breezy, relaxed coastal lifestyle.
1. Natural Coastal Elements
In 2025, expect to see kitchens that bring the outside in. Think white oak cabinetry, rattan light fixtures, and sea-glass-inspired backsplash tiles. These elements pair beautifully with sandy neutrals and soft blues, creating a soothing, beachy ambiance right in your home. At F and S Kitchen and Bath in Barnegat, we specialize in sourcing natural textures and colors that align perfectly with LBI’s coastal vibe.
2. Open Shelving with a Purpose
Gone are the days of cluttered counters. Open shelving continues to trend, but with a more curated feel in 2025. This is the perfect way to showcase your favorite coastal dishware, vintage glass jars, or driftwood-inspired décor. It also adds an airy look ideal for smaller kitchens in shore homes.
3. Smart, Functional Layouts for Entertaining
Long Beach Island homes are known for hosting family and friends during the summer. In 2025, kitchens are being designed with entertaining in mind—think oversized islands with built-in wine fridges, ample seating, and seamless flow to outdoor decks and patios. We work with Ocean County homeowners to design custom layouts that enhance both everyday living and seasonal gatherings.
4. Sustainable, Coastal-Friendly Materials
Eco-conscious design is on the rise, and it’s especially relevant in coastal communities. Recycled countertops, low-VOC cabinetry finishes, and water-saving fixtures are just a few of the 2025 trends that blend sustainability with style. F and S Kitchen and Bath offers a wide range of environmentally friendly options that are perfect for shore homes.
5. Statement Lighting
Bold pendant lights and artistic fixtures are making waves this year. In kitchens near the coast, we’re seeing a strong move toward nautical finishes like aged brass, rope accents, and marine-style sconces. Lighting is more than functional—it's a centerpiece of your kitchen’s design.
