Open Shelving

February 19, 2019

I have posted two images this week on Instagram that has garnered quite a few questions. The photos were of some of our kitchen shelves in town as well as out on the island. We prefer our upper shelves to be open, liking the ability to see what things we readily have to pull from. It also keeps us ruthless in our editing because seeing everything makes you super aware of what you need and what you don’t need. Open shelving allows you to grab at will while you are cooking or setting a table. Both of our spaces are not large, so the extra depth of the open cabinet draws your eye even deeper. They instantly make the rooms feel more spacious.
