Why Open Shelving Divides Renovators

Open shelving is a love-it-or-hate-it design choice. Done right, it makes kitchens feel open and modern. Done wrong, it feels cluttered and impractical.

  • Pros:

Airy Aesthetic: Creates a spacious, minimal look.

Accessibility: Easy to grab everyday items.

Showcasing: Perfect for styled dishes and décor.

  • Cons:

Dust and Grease: More cleaning required.

Visual Clutter: Exposes messy stacks.

Storage Loss: Less practical than closed cabinets.

Conclusion: Open shelving works best for curated spaces and disciplined homeowners. For most, a mix of open and closed storage hits the sweet spot.

Shelves are a canvas, but not everyone wants their life on display.
