Is open kitchen shelving a trend or here to stay? Well, they have been around in home and restaurant kitchens for generations. And they are definitely having a resurgence right now!
Why?
1. They are fun to style and make a nice focal point
2. Easy to access items
With or without brackets?
Stained or painted?
I love this look, too, but worry about keeping glass shelves clean so near a cooktop. There is a thick barrier though.
