Does your kitchen require open shelves? Here’s what you should know

 Kitchen is one of the most functional areas of your home because most of the household activities like cooking and cleaning are done here. It has a moist environment because of smoke, oils, and spices. Cooking becomes easier when you install cabinets. However, what kind of kitchen organizers do you need is an important thing to consider. Before answering this, you’ll have to answer the following questions-

Kind of kitchen layout- 

1. Open 

2. closed

Does your cooking area have chimneys or exhaust fans? 

1. Yes 

2. No 

How often do you clean your cooking space?

1. Regularly

2. Once in a while 

If the answer is mostly A’s, then you can add open kitchen wall shelves as it gives easier access to the things that you need- spices, salt, sugar, and others. An important characteristic of installing open shelves is that you can showcase your stylish crockery or jar collections! However, it all depends on the layout, cleaning, and presence of a strong chimney. 

But if your answer is B for all the questions, then open shelves will not be a good option. In that case, you should install covered shelves because that will protect the jars and crockery from getting oil stains.
