Looking for easy and functional way to revitalize your space? Try adding open shelving to your kitchen. Open shelves not only makes your pots, pans, and more accessible, but they also can really transform your upper cabinetry. If you’re looking for a practical kitchen addition that can double as a decorative statement, open shelving is definitely for you.
What makes open shelving so great is how easy it is to implement, and for those that like to get their hands dirty; it’s a great DIY project. If you start from scratch you can choose from virtually any wood finish as long as the weight can be supported. This is a great opportunity to use unfinished cuts of wood if you’re looking to integrate a farmhouse look or use a sleek, clean cut if you’d rather a modern finish.
Not starting from scratch? No problem. Preexisting upper cabinetry can be transformed into open shelving with ease. By removing the doors and middle stile, you’ve instantaneously created open shelving. If you desire a more polished look, removing all the shelves gives you the ability to repaint the interior and create a contrasting color scheme with the outside of the cabinets and the shelves.
