Benefits of Open Shelving
Open shelving is a big trend right now. We really love the fact that this is a trend that can be used in almost any room of your home. It’s such a simple change, but it really can change the whole feel and focus of a room. You can make your beautiful collection of vintage dishware part of the aesthetic of your kitchen, or you can create a one-stop shop for toiletries and washcloths for your guests in your bathroom. It’s an easy upgrade that adds a modern look along with convenience.

BENEFIT 1
Create More Space
A lot of older home have cabinets that are just too small for modern appliances or are awkwardly shaped or take some real maneuvering to get pots and pans out. Having open shelves eliminates the confinement of having predesigned space for your dishes and appliances. You can make the space fit your needs, instead of having to fit what you can, where you can.
BENEFIT 2
Organization
Probably the most obvious benefit to open shelves is that you can actually see what you have. You no longer will have guests searching every cabinet for a coffee cup, and looking for that box of Christmas ornaments in the garage will be a breeze, because everything will be in its place in plain sight.
BENEFIT 3
Makes the space more open and inviting
Cabinets can make a space feel closed off, and confined, especially if they are a dark color. Having open shelves literally opens up a space for more natural light, without taking away the storage space you need.
BENEFIT 4
A budget-friendly way to spruce up a space
If you have a small budget and limited time, adding shelves is a practical way to add more storage without breaking the bank. New cabinets can be expensive, and time-consuming to put in. Adding open shelves can be an easy DIY project to tackle on a weekend.
