The kitchen trends for the year 2018 are
already revealed. No surprises: the functional and refined design persists
among the top cooks. A certain sensation of minimalism is being felt recently
in the world of cooking and this inspiration does not seem to be going away
anytime soon. This trend is partly attributable to the craze for the concept of
open kitchen on other living rooms - a development that, as you doubtless
already doubt, requires a perfect order-functionality-aesthetic relationship.
On the other hand, taming the disorder around you, especially in the kitchen,
is the perfect solution to stay calm and live in harmony. Believe it or not,
the order is not a concept reserved only for cupboards, whose doors hide a
great chaos: utensils in bulk, piles of dishes, spice jars etc. As the kitchen
with open shelves is one of the big trends of the moment, we can already afford
to combine aesthetics and functionality. Follow us and learn how!

The kitchen with open shelves is
undoubtedly in your top 3 of favorite concepts. A true invitation to
conviviality, elegance and minimalism, the " American style " is
among the hottest at the moment. So, if you are planning to remodel your
kitchen, we urge you to adopt open shelves that, in addition to sheltering many
of your dishes, will certainly boost your decor. Yet, the kitchen with open
shelves is to be avoided if you are one of the people who can not maintain the
perfect order. If this is the case, you risk deepening the feeling of bulk.

In the contemporary kitchen, the role of an
open storage is not limited to depositing cookbooks. On the contrary! Today,
the number of shelves open multiplies to such a point that they offer a
beautiful storage area. We take the opportunity to put a nice service dishes, a
set of glasses (wine, cocktails, water etc.), spice jars and so on. For obvious
reasons, the choice of objects is not done lightly. The selection must be based
on certain criteria such as: more or less easy access to the shelves, the
frequency of use of a particular dish / container / utensil, the aesthetic
harmony between the objects and the existing decor, among others . It is
essential to develop and customize your kitchen with open shelves according to
your routine and culinary interests.

With a little trick, you will succeed in
giving your kitchen with open shelves the look that suits you. For example, by
exposing white dishes and wooden utensils (blond or white) on open shelves in
light wood, you will end up infusing Scandinavian charm into your space. On the
other hand, the shelves in stainless steel, or those in black wood, combine
with monochrome crockery and metal accessories - such a set is perfect for the
industrial kitchen . Put white dishes on a white shelf - that's a sure thing
for a successful shabby chic decor. Following the logic, one who dreams of
having a modern rustic kitchen, should consider the combination of wood
(reclaimed, massive, patinated), white and / or gray and a decoration of
yesteryear.

volumes and small spaces.

In the kitchen with open shelves, it is the
credence that is usually highlighted. It is often devoid of any objects, which
underlines the decorative impact of the most modern tiles that adorn it. On the
other hand, the open shelves are installed just above - a solution to make the
most of the vertical wall. So, the space on the worktop that emerges, can be
used for the installation of a coffee machine, for example, or a set of pots of
herbs.

As just explained, open shelves have no
place in the kitchen. So, we have a great freedom of installation which allows
us to install storage, display shelves and modules anywhere in the vertical and
horizontal space of the walls. On both sides of the extractor hood, overlooking
the credence, nestled in a corner, in an alcove etc. - today, open shelves are
installed throughout the room, adapting to our needs for ergonomics and
practicality.

of the existing decor?

Whatever the decor in your kitchen, open
storage will adapt perfectly. Shelves in blond / rough / solid wood, plywood,
glass, metal or acrylic- the variety is really impressive. But before you buy
any, take the time to think about whether your choice matches the style of your
credence, other decor elements in the kitchen and your idea about the
atmosphere. Also consider the style of the dishes you plan to put on the open
shelves. Vintage, modern, glamorous - there is something for everyone. A
reasonable choice is to bet on a plain tableware, both sober and elegant. It is
easily associated with all kinds of decorative elements such as vases, jars of
spices, pots of aromatic herbs, candles,
