How to Style Open Shelves in Kitchen

June 2, 2021

Top Shelf


I’m no interior design expert, but I’m all about making things look cute but still be functional for everyday use. ⁠⁠ When styling my kitchen open shelves I was sure to take into account the fact that I’m a shorty (5’2). So I knew putting anything I intend to use often on the top shelf was a definite NO! Instead, I added some candles, aesthetic cookbooks and some other fun things I wouldn’t need to grab every day. ⁠

I would suggest using any hard to reach shelves for decor or items you won’t reach for often. A few other tips include :

  • Sticking to a color scheme
  • Don’t over crowd the space – this can cause the shelves to look cluttered
  • Play with textures
  • Use a mix of heights, shapes and sizes to add interest

Shop Cute Decor

Bottom Shelf

For the bottom shelf, I opted for things that just made sense like plates, mugs, bowls and dish towels. I added a plate rack to give it some layers and interest then worked within 3’s. ⁠
⁠
Not sure where I heard this but working in odd numbers is apparently more appealing to the eye, so I was sure to work in rule of three.

This shelve is for more daily use but I also added some height and mixed textures to make it a bit more fun.
⁠
Can’t wait to get creative with the top shelf during fall and the holiday months but for now pretty happy with this ☺️

Shop Dinnerware
