One trick for making your kitchen feel larger that requires zero additional square footage — break up your upper cabinets with open shelving!

Not only does it give you a fun place for styling, but it also gives your eye a visual break and makes it uppers feel less heavy.

If you don’t have a window above your sink, open shelving is a great opportunity to make the space feel open. In our Hillside Kitchen Remodel, the floating wood shelves added an organic, warmth while bringing the tile to the ceiling made the kitchen feel taller and airy.

We broke up the upper cabinets with a corner of open shelving in the Evergreen Kitchen Remodel. It was a great way to utilize the corner space and it allowed us to center the hood and surrounding cabinets above the range.
