Kitchen design trends are always changing. However, here at PPM Interiors it is all about creating the right kitchen for our client. We focus on what they want and how we can create it. It’s not down to trends, but personal taste. However, the latest trend in tailor-made kitchens in Peterborough is open shelving. So, we thought we would answer the question, should you have open shelving in your kitchen?
Open shelves in bespoke kitchens are great for creating that sense of space. They can make a kitchen feel larger, more spacious and less confined. If you have beautiful dishware or glassware, it is a great way to show them off. This stylish and modern look of open shelving in the kitchen provides easy access to everyday essentials. But could open shelving work in your kitchen?
If you have a busy family and lifestyle, cooking can often need to be done quickly. Open shelving in your bespoke kitchen can made this possible. The convenience of seeing and grabbing things as you need them speeds up meal preparation. It makes cleaning up after eating easier too.
You will find that removing upper cabinets and replacing them with open shelving will make a kitchen space feel brighter. If you have a smaller kitchen closed cabinets can feel bulky or overwhelming. Replacing these with open shelving changes the feel of the kitchen. You suddenly gain a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere in your kitchen.
One thing that our clients really like about open shelving is that it gives them an opportunity for decorative styling. They can show off their taste and style in small and simple ways. For example, colour coordinated plates, or vintage glassware suddenly becomes a focal point in your kitchen. This can be updated and changed seasonally with ease, so your kitchen always looks modern and fresh.
If you are someone in your home is a bit of a hoarder, you’ll find that open shelving can really help avoid this. Having everything on display makes you more inclined to be less cluttered. Instead, you want the shelves to look near and tidy. In turn, this helps to promoter a more intentional motivation to your kitchen organisation.
