14 Kitchen Shelving Ideas Sure to Streamline Your Space
Without a doubt, the kitchen is the most hardworking spot in your home. Whether you're making the most of the square footage in your galley kitchen or luxuriating in a palatial chef's kitchen created just to your specifications, maximizing space is still a must. Cabinetry has long been the go-to for corralling and concealing all your cookware, but increasingly, trends are turning back toward an even older convention—shelving.
Open shelves are a mixed bag, of course. Items stored on shelves are, for lack of a better description, out in the open, which leaves them susceptible to dust, grease splatters, and the accumulation of grime. On the flip-side, if you're someone who has carefully acquired a collection of dishes, pans, and glassware that you cherish, those objects arranged artfully in your line of sight can make you enjoy your kitchen more. For this reason, we're primed to prefer open shelving—when and where it's practical—to closed cabinets.
