Not only are open shelves great for displays, but they also create an easy access point for frequently used dishware and other items. Consider stacking multiple floating shelves on top of each other to draw attention to your high ceilings, or law low and focus on your most prized accessories. Its budget-friendly appeal makes for a sustainable storage solution if you have some room to spare.

Open and floating shelves are prone to regular cleaning maintenance, such as dusting. It is also ideal to consider where you want your shelves mounted, particularly in kitchens. It is not uncommon to place them near a decorative range hood to add some personalized aesthetic to your accent wall. Just consider that it’s possible that sputters of grease or oil may sprinkle your shelves. Nothing a quick wipe down can’t fix!

Now that we’ve touched on maintenance upkeep, don’t forget that visual cleanliness matters, too! While open shelving supports organization, you may find that clutter-collecting habits aren’t the best combination with open shelves. Kitchens with extremely small or space-challenged footprints may not have the easiest time incorporating a floating shelf, but it’s not impossible!
