Elevating coastal contemporary design with Silestone

Rather than relying on standard white cabinetry, the design features custom natural maple cabinetry finished in a soft whitewash stain called Matte Seashell, bringing warmth and subtle texture to the space. Floating shelves and thoughtful detailing, including blue accents on the range, introduce lightness and understated coastal character while addressing limited natural light in the kitchen.

In this home in Cape Cod, designer Ishelle Collins of Classic Kitchens & Interiors created a sophisticated kitchen that reimagines the traditional coastal aesthetic.

Silestone Et Calacatta Gold was selected as the ideal surface to complement the cabinets and the layered material palette. Used for the countertops and a full-height backsplash, Silestone delivers visual impact and everyday practicality. The 5 cm mitered island countertop with waterfall edges creates a bold focal point that adds depth and a refined presence that anchors the room.

Beyond beauty, Silestone offered the durability and low-maintenance performance the homeowners desired, allowing them to focus on what they love: cooking and entertaining. Together, the material’s elegant veining and resilient properties bring this coastal contemporary vision to life, balancing timeless style with modern functionality.
