Open kitchen cabinets are one of the most popular kitchen trends in the industry. These cabinets can be a box with no doors, or they can have open shelving. This gives the kitchen an open and casual look.
It may be popular, but it might not be right for you. We thought it would be helpful to share the pros and cons of this trend so that you can decide if it is right for you.
PROS
- You can easily access the items you need and see what’s inside.
- Storage space can be customized.
- Cabinet doors are usually less expensive because you don’t have to pay for them.
- You can display decorative dishes or other kitchen items.
- To add character, use items like baskets.
CONS
- Dust can collect in cabinets.
- The kitchen can quickly become cluttered and distracting.
- It is important that dishes are the same and match.
- Some kitchen items, such as pans and appliances, may not be what you want.
- Storage options are limited.
There are many reasons to get on board with this trend, but homeowners will be happier if they have both open and closed kitchen cabinets. Cabinet doors protect the contents of the cabinet, but they also enhance the style and appearance of the kitchen. Glass doors are used by some homeowners to keep dust out and still allow them to display their decorative dishes. It is important to find the right balance while still being able to take advantage of your kitchen storage options.
