\"Plywood<\/div>\n

Our latest lookbook<\/a> gathers stylish kitchens<\/a> where open shelves<\/a> and cabinets proudly display kitchenware, proving storage<\/a> does not need to be hidden behind doors.<\/span><\/p>\n

By opting out of cupboard doors, these kitchens achieve a spacious look where crockery and cookware are easily reached.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s a single floating shelf, under-counter storage on a kitchen island or a larger wall display, open shelving gives the opportunity to show off kitchenware as decorative items in the home.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring kitchens with banquette seating<\/a>, homes with terracotta floors<\/a> and dining rooms with cantilevered chairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
