Not everything needs to be hidden away when it comes to storage – in fact decorative solutions can

make a huge difference to your look and feel. A cluster of simple floating shelves work particularly
well in a kitchen, where there may be a fair amount of closed cabinetry taking up space along the walls.

They add an element of interest that draws the eye, all while helping to keep countertops clear. It’s
best to mount open shelving just above eye level and within easy reach if you intend for the shelves to
hold day-to-day items, such as plates and mugs. For a stylised look, stack collections of your favourite
crockery, line up fresh herbs and incorporate small pieces of art along a run of open shelving.
