How to style open shelving in your kitchen
Far from exposing clutter, open shelving in the kitchen can deliver a taste of luxury to suit all aesthetics.
AI summary
Open shelving can add a sense of space and luxury to your kitchen while providing practical storage. Create visual interest by contrasting materials like timber or metal against your existing style.
Consider creating dedicated zones, such as a coffee bar or an open liquor cabinet. You can also install corner units to utilize awkward spaces or add shelves to a kitchen island for easy access. For a simple DIY option, try removing your existing cabinet doors.
