OPEN SHELVING IN KITCHENS
I have an ever growing Pinterest board dedicated to open shelving in kitchen/dining zones - slightly ironic as we have just built a very clean, minimal kitchen with all closed cupboards apart from a small cookbook shelf!
There is something quite beautiful about open shelves or nooks in a kitchen, its a great way to bring colour & life to the space and a perfect place to display cookbooks, pretty collected ceramics, tea cups, glassware, or special plates/trays/boards.
I know open shelving isn’t for everyone, it might take extra time to keep pieces arranged nicely and will be another place that needs dusting, but taking a look at the gorgeous images below might convert you!
If you have an older kitchen or you are renting, adding a couple of inexpensive shelves from Ikea could give you some much needed extra storage and style.
It seems to work really well in character country or industrial style kitchens but a simple streamline shelf can also break up a minimal, modern kitchen in an interesting way. Definitely something to consider for your next kitchen update, and if you are already blessed with open shelving hopefully I have inspired a new love affair!
