Open Kitchen Shelves Ideas

I am currently working on a new kitchen design and thought I would share with you a few images I am using for inspiration. 

For this project I am thinking of using open shelving for a natural modern style but with a country influence...

Floor to ceiling storage is great if you have all those heirlooms pieces that are still packed in storage boxes!

A thick solid timber edge helps to make a feature of the shelving and give a natural look to the kitchen.

For that extra country look why not decant some of your most popular ingredients into glass jars, label and display on open shelves for a splash of colour and of course an easy reach...

Have fun.
