While we would all love the opportunity to design a kitchen space from scratch, more often than not, you need to work within the walls you’re given.  When working outside of a new build, designers are almost always working with one of the five most common kitchen layouts.

Choosing between open shelving and traditional cabinet options is integral to a kitchen redesign. When designing your kitchen, you will inevitably come to a point where you need to determine if you want open or closed storage.  Ultimately, both options get the job done, and both can offer a level of sophistication and modernity.  The decision boils down to aesthetics, cost, and how the owner will be using the space.
