Historic Coastal Kitchen
Newport, Rhode Island
This kitchen renovation in a historic Newport residence blends traditional architectural details with modern functionality.
McCann Interior Design worked closely with the homeowner and builder to create a space that supports everyday coastal living while enhancing the home’s original character.
Project Overview
Location:
Newport, RI
Project Type:
Historic Renovation
Scope:
Kitchen Interior Design & Styling
The Final Experience
The finished kitchen feels calm, refined, and appropriate to the home’s architectural heritage while supporting contemporary living.
Design Goals
The client wanted a kitchen that felt light, welcoming, and functional for entertaining guests throughout the summer season.
Design priorities included improved circulation, integrated storage, and finishes appropriate for a coastal environment.
Solutions
Key design decisions included:
reconfiguring cabinetry layout
introducing layered lighting
selecting durable natural materials
incorporating furnishings that soften architectural lines
Considerations
The existing kitchen lacked visual cohesion and adequate workspace.
Through careful planning and material selection, the redesigned space now supports both everyday use and hosting.
Coastal Context
Because the home is located near the waterfront, material resilience and seasonal maintenance were key considerations in the design strategy.
