The Attractive Kitchen Wall Shelf Idea That Beautifully Displays Your Produce

When it comes to designing your kitchen, balancing functionality with visual appeal is essential. The room should be easy to navigate, and everything you need for cooking should be easily within reach. As a result, the space's storage solutions and shelving aren't something you should overlook, especially if you're looking for creative kitchen remodel ideas for your next big project. However, even if you're not about to embark on a complete redesign of your space, you can easily build an attractive shelving solution for your kitchen that will make it easier than ever to keep the countertops clear of clutter.

If you adore visually appealing wall shelving, YouTube user @Last_Brick has a fantastic DIY shelving tutorial that shows you just how easy it can be to build this type of fixture in your kitchen without spending a fortune. The video's idea uses three IKEA BEKVÄM spice racks, mounted on the wall upside-down, along with a few extra wicker baskets and hooks. The end result is a beautiful display for fruits and vegetables that perfectly balances form with function. It's a good example of how to utilize vertical space in small kitchens, but it will also work well in just about any home.

Adding an open wall shelf to your kitchen

Open shelving is a kitchen design trend that makes the most of your existing space and allows you to put the spotlight on your favorite decorative elements. To add a wall shelf using a set of IKEA's Bekväm spice racks, start by considering where the installation will go and what you're aiming to store there. Items that are heavier than the produce shown in the video might require more sturdy support. Utensils and other gadgets should be centrally located in the kitchen so you can get them quickly while you're cooking. However, anything from decorative plants and fresh herbs to spices, tea towels, and framed pictures would fit well with this appealing, easy-to-build arrangement.

Adding an open wall shelf to your kitchen can be as simple as following @Last_Brick's tutorial, but it can also be a major design choice depending on how much of the room it occupies. There are plenty of reasons why you might want to consider open shelving for your kitchen, but regardless of the arrangement, you'll first want to think carefully about how much kitchen storage you need. Everything that you put on a floating shelf needs to look display-worthy, or your entire space will start to seem cluttered. In comparison, traditional overhead cabinets are easier to manage since you can store just about anything in them. Floating shelves, however, are significantly easier to clean, and can of course look visually stunning.
