There is a growing trend in kitchen design, either when renovating or for new construction for open shelving storage-for uppers primarily, but also replacing lower cabinets as well. I’m currently working on a complete home renovation with a younger couple (younger then me that is) who like the look and we are planning it for their kitchen. Because the Mr. is French and they have a European sensibility they like it a lot.
Here is what I know and like about them:
- the ease of finding something you need
- the ease of putting away dishes
- having your cooking spices and frequently used oils etc easily accessible
- it would force me to keep everything neat and tidy
- It’s less expensive to build out in the case of renovation
- I don’t like open shelving to replace bottom cabinets because of floor dirt, animals and dust
- I do like some cabinetry to hide the items that don’t match or aren’t all that aesthetically pleasing
- What usually goes down low are things like pots and pans. I have yet to find a a way to display those nicely
