A MAHOGANY SUNSET

This tropical kitchen opts for darker wood cabinetry rather than the medium woods above. While the wood grain is much less prominent on these cabinets, the kitchen still maintains a tropical feel. Paired with the tan, sandy hues of the countertops and rattan blinds, this kitchen is as warm as any other. The lack of upper cabinets leaves room for large pass-through windows, which are great for entertaining and ensuring the flow of fresh beach air throughout the space. If you’re big on having friends and family over, this may be a feature to consider as an alternative to a fully open floor plan.

While wood makes its appearance in the flooring and window frames, the designer opted for flat-paneled white cabinets this kitchen. White cabinetry is the perfect alternative for people looking for a brighter tropical space, particularly because of how well they reflect sunlight. They also provide a neutral foundation for other tropical design elements to shine, even if they aren’t prominent, such as the wooden blinds.
