A wall of soft marble with two simple rows of shelving is perfect for complementing the base units without fighting with them. By taking the shelves along the whole length of worktops, the designers have provided plenty of extra storage space for the owners to put cookware, glassware and ornaments.Discover bare wood kitchens to covet
Get creativeBy avoiding wall units, you can give yourself the opportunity to introduce different storage ideas. The owners of this kitchen have added personality to their space with some kitchen cabinet alternatives made from distressed wood and copper piping. The upcycled items add much more interest and character to the room than standard cupboards.
Keep it fresh and airyThe fresh colour scheme of this kitchen gives the room a light feel, the white walls and worktop toning with the cream units to create a wonderfully bright space. Wall units would have looked fine here, but by leaving the area clear, the designer has lifted the space even more. It feels elegant, uncluttered and airy.See more cream kitchens on HouzzWhat are your thoughts on wall units? Are they a must-have for you, or would you consider doing without them?
