When designing your kitchen you’ll have to make many hard choices. One of the most significant debates in kitchen design is the choice between open and closed cabinets. Each option has its own set of advantages and considerations that can greatly impact the overall look and feel of your kitchen.
Open shelves have gained immense popularity for their ability to infuse charm into any kitchen space. They provide a platform to showcase stylish dishes, glassware, and decorative items, elevating your kitchen’s visual appeal. Additionally, open shelves offer easy accessibility, allowing you to swiftly access frequently used items and streamline your cooking experience.
For those torn between open and closed cabinets, hybrid approaches provide an elegant solution. By integrating elements from both styles, such as glass-fronted cabinets or selective open shelving, you can curate displays while keeping everyday items discreetly concealed. This harmonious blend allows you to strike a perfect balance between showcasing decorative pieces and maintaining an organised kitchen space.
