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 luxury and space to your kitchen. Contrast materials like timber or metal to complement your style, using floating shelves for a sleek look or brackets for an industrial feel.
Create dedicated zones like a coffee bar or open liquor cabinet. You can also utilise awkward spaces with corner units or incorporate shelving into a kitchen island for cookbooks. For a budget-friendly update, consider easy DIY options or simply remove your existing cabinet doors.
