6. Open Shelving Above Cabinets
For a more open and airy feeling in the kitchen, consider replacing some of your upper cabinets with open shelving. This is a great way to showcase your beautiful dishes, glassware, or decor while making the space feel less cramped.
How to Implement:
- Remove the upper cabinet doors or replace them entirely with open shelves. Use wood or metal brackets for a modern or industrial feel.
- Install floating shelves or shallow shelves to display plates, cups, and glassware.
- Keep the shelves organized and stylish, displaying items like plants, vintage dishware, or decorative jars.
Open shelving adds both storage and style to your kitchen, but it’s important to keep the shelves tidy for a cohesive look.
Pro Tip:
Keep the shelves organized by grouping similar items together, and use woven baskets for items that need to be stored out of sight.
