Open Shelving in Kitchens

There has been a shift in kitchen design in towards open shelving in place of upper cabinets. When styled correctly, open shelving can add another dimension to a space, however there is a constant need to keep shelves organized. Open shelving allows for easy access to frequently used items and is great for showcasing collections.

 Stone shelves are a great alternative to painted wooden ones because the paint does not scratch or chip over time.

Another trend you will notice in these pictures is the backsplash material is a solid stone slab.

The veining of the marble is natural and beautiful.

 Unpainted wood enhances the organic feel of both of these kitchens.
