Styling recipe: Exposed kitchen shelves

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday I reorganized my kitchen shelves and while doing it, I was wondering about exposed kitchen shelves.  The open kitchen shelving trend is really popular now and people seem to ignore the fact that everything gets dusty and they might need to take everything off the shelves and wash their dishware each week. I was always a huge fan of exposed shelves and storage cabinets, they always look so pretty and stylish in magazines. Back in my apartment in Greece, I have a new modern kitchen without any exposed shelves, but my studio apartment here in London has a tiny kitchen area and adding a couple of exposed shelves was almost mandatory. I would really like to know your thoughts on exposed kitchen shelves, would you try it?

If you're not sure if the 'exposed kitchen shelves' trend is the right one for you then take a look at some of my favorite kitchen areas that will help you decide if you would like to add exposed storage units into your home!

Have a lovely Tuesday,
Maria
