Copper pipe between the shelf supports and S hooks make a simple DIY utensil/small pot rack

Pots out and in view but organized

Q

Consider kitchen tasks, like baking or making coffee, when filling open shelves and group items accordingly. I like the idea of a coffee or breakfast bar.

Q

Grundtal shelves over a stainless worktable. A Grundtal right above the sink would make it easy to hand wash, and put dishes right back on the shelf to drip dry.

A sliding chalkboard on a barn-door-like track conceals an appliance garage.

Q

This spot, concealed by bifold cabinet doors, offers extra countertop space for food prep and small appliances.. perfect to hide the clutter.

Q

Well-planned storage makes efficient use of space and can help keep your kitchen organized. Consider a custom all-in-one pantry cupboard if you’re designing a kitchen from scratch. Install custom storage baskets for shelves and rail bars and baskets for cupboard doors to make the most of the space inside.

Q

A cupboard pantry can be used to store everything from food to china and kitchen equipment. And when the doors are closed, it’s all neatly out of sight.

Q

Narrow pullout shelves are a space-saving alternative to traditional food shelving. This option is the best way to pack a lot of storage into a small area. The clever mail station includes spots for mail, newspapers, school papers, keys and restaurant menus.

Q

A narrow Pull out beside the stove is a good place for bottles of oil, wine etc that now clutter the counter

Q

A garage-style workstation makes an interesting rolling kitchen island. The stainless cabinet and drawers provide closed storage for cooking utensils and supplies. Pegboard on each end keeps often-used items handy.

Q

This island is basically a piece of soapstone on top of two tool chests; it's both industrial and brightly colored. I might never be able to afford a red stove, but I can afford a red enamel tool chest with a piece of butcher block on top.

Q

This rolling cart is 32 inches high. Because these cabinets are designed to hold a lot of weight, they are heavy even when empty. This one weighs 64 pounds. Just needs a good slab of butcher block on top.

Q

Using open shelving in place of upper cabinets can save money and bring a more open spacious feel to a small kitchen. Think how closed off this space would feel with standard cabinets on either side of the window. Although it may be tempting to cram shelves full, overstuffed shelves defeats the space-enhancing effects- edit!

Q

Only items used and washed frequently enough not to collect dust should go on open shelves. Locating the open shelving away from the stove can also help keep things clean. The ideal place for open shelves is near the sink/dishwasher; items can be washed, dried and easily put right back on the shelf. Love the watery colored tile- a blend of Ann Sacks Monet, Zen, and Whisper.

Q

Items on open shelving should be curated; limit colors and materials to avoid a cluttered feel. Here the open shelving is used to define a baking station. Items were removed from their unattractive original packaging and placed in clear glass containers to maintain the open feel. I like the light blue paint on the inside of the cabinet. I also like the line of accent tile.

Q

I like the combination of deep turquoise/teal with warm wood.
