Dishware on Display
A small shelf that displays knickknacks elsewhere in the house can also work in the kitchen to display dishware, providing a handy arrangement for items used regularly. Bringing furniture like this into the kitchen makes the functional space feel less utilitarian. For a well-designed look, make sure the piece relates to the room's decor. Here, the dark finish and dramatic trim echo the elegant look of the marble countertops and furniture-style cabinetry.
A simple wrought-iron pot rack keeps oversize pots and pans within reach of this kitchen’s main work zone. Hanging these large items from the ceiling frees up cabinet space in a small kitchen. The pots and pans also contribute to the cozy, lived-in character of the room.
Combo Kitchen Storage
Every efficient kitchen needs a combination of open and closed storage. This wall of cabinetry boasts storage for everything from dishware to table linens. To provide visual relief from the wall of closed cabinetry, the doors were removed from the upper cabinets to create cubbies that showcase cookbooks and other collectibles. The yellow interiors inject personality into the hardworking room.
Contemporary Shelves
Simple wooden shelves lend a rustic touch to this modern kitchen corner. Thin metal wires suspend the shelves from the ceiling so they appear to be floating. The shelves’ rough, unfinished surface adds another layer of texture to the kitchen’s tiled walls, stainless-steel appliances, and stone countertops.
