Whether you’re interested in contemporary or traditional kitchen remodeling, you’ll eventually have to decide between cabinets and open shelving for your kitchen. At the heart of it, one isn’t better than the other. Both have something to offer, so it’s just a matter of choosing what will address your needs and preferences the best.

When to Get Cabinets

It’s hard to go wrong with kitchen cabinets for storage because you’ll always have a use for them. To make the most of cabinets, take advantage of the different organizational options available to you, especially corner storage to ensure that spot where your cabinets meet at a corner is fully utilized.

As they take up a significant portion of your kitchen’s square footage, cabinets can be used to tie together a kitchen’s overall look. They are also the best option for those who are busy and don’t generally have the time to keep their kitchen super-organized, allowing various items to be hidden from view without fear of looking cluttered and keeping counters clear.

When to Get Open Shelving

Open shelving creates a spacious feeling that’s great for smaller kitchens. However, because everything on the shelves is out in the open in full view, this storage option is best for those who have the discipline and time to make sure everything is returned neatly to its place after use. It’s one thing to have a place for everything and it’s another to actually get around to getting those things in their designated space.
