| CURATE YOUR KITCHEN WITH OPEN SHELVING You need something beautiful, yet practical. Take a look at how to make your kitchen's open shelving look chic, not messy. DANIELLE RADEL Interior designer at CentraRuddy Architecture, NYC missionglobal.com Open shelving, "...gives you a platform to personalize your kitchen with decorative elements as well as ease of access to more frequently used items such as serveware or a French press. The trick to where to place items is to think about how the kitchen is used." A serious chef would benefit from open shelving near the cooking zones so spices and oils are only an arm's length away; a frequent host/hostess may appreciate a column of shelving near the refrigerator or wine fridge to create a bar area. SAMANTHA GALLACHER Co-founder of IG Workshop, Miami missionglobal.com Open shelving gives a kitchen a light and airy feeling and is a good way to break up a lot of cabinetry. When you have an unusable corner or odd-shaped room, opt for vertically stacked open shelves with LED lights to brighten up a kitchen. Or, if you have an awkward column in a kitchen, adding cladded shelving can be a nice touch. PARIS FORINO Paris Forino Interior Design, NYC missionglobal.com If the kitchen is smaller you can put the shelf midway up the backsplash; it's a great location for beautiful spice bottles. Try not to clutter them; just have a couple of items. It feels more luxurious to populate them sparingly. If space is not as constrained, forgo the upper cabinets and have shelves that can showcase large items - even artwork leaning against the wall. For more, visit MissionGlobal.com |
