In a kitchen, do open shelves or cabinets with glass doors really make a space look more disorganized?
I like the look of them, but my husband doesn’t want to consider them in our remodel because he says they will look cluttered. Actually, the possibility exists that it can be exactly the opposite. Open shelves or cabinets with clear fronts can make a space look bigger. Plus, if what’s stored in them is stacked neatly or artfully arranged, their ordered appearance can make the space seem more organized. Just be sure not to cram the shelves with unneeded items.
