Open shelving in the kitchen area seems to be a pattern with staying power, however keeping the look streamlined needs some serious organization. open shelves must be styled sparingly, keeping neutral-colored dishes in neat stacks as well as glasses sparkling clean. If you can’t dedicate to the upkeep, avoid this look.
