I sat down to write a post today, a different post, when I realized
it’s been a minute since I’ve written about new design trends. And since there
is a trend that I’m excited to be using in an upcoming project, I thought it
would fun to share a few of my favorite versions from the web. Open shelving
has been around the design block for quite a few years now, but more recently I’ve
been seeing suspended open shelving and I cannot get enough of this look.
Why I love it? It’s modern, industrial and yet still chic. It adds another design
element to the already popular open shelving concept and gives it a little more oomph.
Where it works? Honestly, anywhere, but my favorite place is
in a kitchen or bar area. Open shelving is such a great way to break up the heaviness of
rows of upper cabinetry and lightens the entire space. Whether you’re
using these shelves to have easy access to your daily dishes (this does require
some coordination and effort on the look of your dishes), or in a smaller way
to display a few functional items that are also pretty (wood cutting boards, colanders,
cookbooks, etc.). I’ll be using it in a wet bar that’s directly off the kitchen. I wanted the bar area to have a bit of a moment and be able to stand against a large kitchen. Using a style similar to those below, it will be complimented with this
fantastic silver hammered sink, black faucet, and some killer tile. I’ve just started
making selections for this new home, so be sure to check back for more details
on this upcoming project.
