Don’t like open shelving cause using it seems to clutter your space and make it look non-tidy? I’m ready to reassure you and prove that open shelving is amazing for storage an display and can match all kitchen styles and floating shelving is even better!
Floating shelves have a very sleek look – they seem to float in the air and that makes them look lightweight, even if they are thick enough. Such an idea is great for a small kitchen: heavy closed storage units and lots of cabinets will make your tiny kitchen look even smaller, while floating shelves will give it some air.

Floating shelves exist in all kinds of versions – sleek, living edge, rough and many others. Traditional sleek ones will be great for any kitchen, while living edge shelves will give a rustic feel to it making it a bit more relaxed, so I’d advise them for a farmhouse or modern space. Floating shelves are usually made wood and are stained light to look lightweight but you may also go for statement stone shelves to match your countertops or a backsplash or try an invisible sleek shelf that would match the wall and seem unseen, this is a very fresh idea that will add eye-catchiness to the kitchen.
