Ree drummond s open shelving in the lodge s kitchen is a case in point.

Cabinets diy open shelving kitchen.

Build open shelving with a stained glass accent to open up the kitchen space while adding a decorative element. Keep it simple if you view too many dishes out in the open as clutter in the kitchen consider only displaying those that you use most often keeping them on hand but clutter free. To make the most of your open shelving and to add visual height to your kitchen stack shelves high varying shelf height according to what will be stored. Ditching cabinets and embracing sleek shelves can help turn your kitchen into the open space you always dreamed about.

Plus i didn t have to waste wood for doors. While i initially considered cabinetry to go over our diy lower cabinets i feared bulky upper cabinetry would make the small space feel overwhelmed and closed off after all we were working with some pretty narrow dimensions. But what if your style is a bit more on the edgy or eclectic side. Given the lower cabinets were only 18 5 deep our upper shelving was going to be relatively shallow we actually decided on an upper depth of 11 inches.

I chose to go with open shelving. They add a great pop of color to the kitchen and ree has all of her favorite dishes within easy reach. I liked the way it looked like an old farm kitchen since i was able to add a set of curtains to cover under the sink. As i mentioned earlier we actually built our own kitchen cabinets.

This saved a lot of money on wood as i didn t have to frame up every cabinet.
