Kitchen Ideas - Lose the Upper Cabinets
Sometimes less is more. In this case, less kitchen cabinetry. I am not talking about giving up storage, rather, I am referring to kitchen aesthetic and design. Having loads of cabinets is a storage dream but, sometimes too many cabinets can be overwhelming and cold. If you are able to give up some storage space losing some, or all of, your upper cabinetry can yield a beautiful and well designed kitchen.

If you want to lose your upper cabinets but are concerned about storage, rethink your lower cabinets. Retrofit them with plate racks or pull out drawers for better storage solutions. Also, adding shelves to the wall still provides storage but without a bulky wall cabinet. Take stock of your kitchen before tearing out any cabinetry (or designing a new kitchen). Figure out how you can better use your cabinetry and what you could display on open shelving. All white dishes look great on display. Giving the eye a place to rest creates a warm and inviting space.
