• The Workstation Sink: The "undermount" sink is the standard, but the "Workstation Sink" (which includes built-in cutting boards and colanders) is the 2026 upgrade buyers love. • Lighting Layers: Under-cabinet LED strips are no longer a "luxury"—they are expected. Pair them with oversized, sculptural pendant lights over the island made of natural materials like woven rattan or glass to ground the "Coastal Modern" aesthetic. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX • The "Coffee Station": If you have a dead corner, turn it into a dedicated coffee or beverage station. • Open Shelving: Use it sparingly. One or two natural wood shelves can make a kitchen feel airy and provide a place for "lifestyle" staging (like a few coastal cookbooks and a plant).
