Break up the cabinets by adding a few open shelves to display the fine china or quirky, colorful, items that can bring personality to your kitchen.
Besides shelving, talk to our casework designers about kitchen cabinets with a glass door so that you can see what is inside the cabinet. Yes, it means you are going to be selective about what you put behind the glass door because it’s going to be visible, but glass doors is a clever way to open up your kitchen.
