More and more people are choosing open shelves when working on their kitchen layout. But for what exact reasons? Some find it too visually heavy, while others can’t do without it.
Don’t wait any longer and discover now 10 kitchens with open shelves that will give you the opportunity to form your own opinion!
Why choose open shelves in the kitchen?
First of all, we must admit that they have a certain practicality in everyday life.
Indeed, open shelves allow easy access to everything we need in daily life, such as bowls, plates, and even coffee… This gives a little hardware store vibe that can be very aesthetic!
But it’s also about playing with a collection effect, like the old cabinets of curiosities where one displays their treasures. On these shelves, we arrange our finest dishes, put our ingredients in pretty jars, and style everything for an original and very personal decor.
You can also slip in some pretty cookbooks to always have them on hand and never run out of inspiration. And also some green plants, preferably trailing, to add even more style to the decoration of your kitchen. And why not a few pots with aromatic plants? We always need them when whipping up delicious dishes!
How to choose your open shelf?
Depending on the layout of your kitchen, there are several solutions.
You can either envision an open shelf system directly integrated into your kitchen, which will truly be part of your furniture. In this case, this installation will be more or less permanent.
Or you can opt for a wall shelf, which can always be moved if this layout doesn’t suit you after all.
In fact, the possibilities are so numerous! And to be sure not to make a mistake, you need to make a list of everything you need and the space you will have on your future shelf.
Personally, I really like wooden shelves, very classic. But also invisible and floating shelves that we see in modern kitchen layouts. And by the way, I would love to integrate some at home because I find them really practical while being quite minimalist!
