What Are The Benefits Of Open Shelving In Your Kitchen?

They say an open door paves the way for new opportunities, but having too many doors to open can just be a hassle. If you don’t feel like dealing with all sorts of cabinet doors in your new kitchen remodel, we’re here to introduce you to open shelving as a fun new way to express yourself all while maintaining functionality!

Everything Is Within Reach! (Literally)

Not everyone has a sharp memory, and that’s okay. The only time it’s not okay is when you’re opening and closing every single cabinet door in your kitchen trying to find a specific something like your life depends on it, only to end up empty-handed and with a messy kitchen. The best part about open shelving is that everything is in plain sight so you don’t have to play any more guessing games! Having unhindered access to your storage space makes it that much easier to organize your belongings and keep clutter to a minimum.

Frequent Re-Decorating Is Made Easy

Your decorative pieces are often left unappreciated behind cabinet doors, even if you go with a glass-front option. Open shelving offers a platform for expressing your unique style! Effortlessly combine kitchen necessities and trendy decor for a free-spirited space that reflects your personality. These accessible shelves make it easy to swap out pieces regularly so you can transform your kitchen’s aesthetic as often as the mood strikes you.

Open shelving works especially well with cottagecore kitchen themes! Scatter greenery and wicker baskets along your shelves for a cozy atmosphere.

Kitchens Look Bigger With Open Shelves

If you simply want your kitchen to look bigger, open shelving is still the way to go. You never realize just how much space your cabinets take up until you remove them, and the difference is like that between the sun and the moon. But it’s not just about removing cabinets. Open shelving can also help you clear up counter space! Rather than keeping small kitchen appliances like toasters and blenders on the counter, you can proudly display them on your open shelves instead. Empty countertops are a surefire way to make a kitchen feel more spacious.

Having Fewer Cabinets Saves You Money

One of the main components that factor into the cost of a kitchen remodel is the cabinetry. Go to your kitchen right now and count the number of cabinets and cabinet doors. Can you imagine how much it would cost to replace every single one? That’s not even accounting for upgraded hardware. All of that quickly adds up, but opting for open shelving can lop off a good chunk of the overall cost. If cost-efficiency is a priority for your kitchen remodel, then this option is your best bet!
