HGTV Dream Home is always a sight to behold, and as food people, the Food Network team loves to take a lingering glance at each year's kitchen. This year's space, inspired by the serene coastal town of Newport, RI, is especially meditative and transportive — plus it's a room we'd love to cook in, for so many practical and stylish reasons. Let's take a closer look at all the fantastic features.

A kitchen island is like a magnet — everyone is drawn to gathering around it. And an island this large means there's room for everyone who wants to cook, perch on a stool or taste test!

Reach around the island for easy access to everyday plates, or show off bright linens or cookbooks that are too pretty to hide.

Are we crazy for admiring this kitchen's flow? It's just the chef in us, we guess. We're starry-eyed over the wide paths (covered with pretty runners) and ample workspace in this kitchen.

When it comes to storing cookware, it's much easier to find what you need by piling items into a drawer versus closing your eyes and reaching way back into a crowded shelf.

Deep navy, crisp white and a warm, deep red create a color palette that pairs perfectly with wicker accents.

Dishes might become the chore that everyone volunteers to do when it comes with an impressive view of the water.

A stately hood is certainly kitchen goals (for both air filtration and fashionable reasons!). This one blends in beautifully with the kitchen's wall treatment, offering an understated elegance.

An epic kitchen requires epic storage, and this thoughtful pantry means you can stock up for any cooking adventure you like.

A clever flow into the greater living space keeps cooking contained, but encourages a lively atmosphere where the family can prep meals, eat and lounge together all at the same time.
