New kitchen with open shelves

7 years ago

I need help with my open shelving as you can see from the photo the tiles are going to go to the ceiling the kitchen is only small and is a U shape I intend to have 3 shelves going all the way around and using black wrought iron brackets you can see in the photo, in need advice on what to use for the brackets, I think I want them white, but open to ideas, the kitchen fitter has suggested using end panels from the kitchen but I'm unsure this will look right

You could use the end panels as this will tie in with the Base units and wouldn't require to try and match colour of shelves and Base units. Alternatively you can scrap the side panels, and use a contrasting material for the shelves to create a Contrast against the white tiles and Base units. this will also help prevent the kitchen looking too clinical.

Hope this helped a little, Good luck

I'd suggest that you won't lose much light if you had longer shelves but I see what you mean re interfering with the lights. It may well be possible to bring the outside ones inward slightly to help keep them away from the shelves if you swapped them out for longer ones. I'd say they would look better if they were bigger personally, but at the end of the day it's your space so do what you're comfortable with.

I would suggest handing the FF the other way - aesthetically looks better paired with the pantry that way - and allows you to open both to see what needs to be restocked or to decide what to cook etc. Also for aesthetics, have the drawers either side of cooker both three drawers and the odd one other side of pillar as a two.

Hi Abby, I think the previous commenters have provided some sound advice. A bright coloured shelf to contrast from the black units would look lovely. I love your tiled splash-back by the way! Opun - Your Home Improvement Experts

Thank you so much everyone for all the comments and ideas! I am definitely swaying towards tiles now or the opaque glass in same colour as wall. Very helpful to see other ideas too with some different style Splashbacks etc. Thanks for taking time to show a design on my photo that’s really helpful. I see what you mean about the shelves needing to be quite small on right hand side of hob. I was thinking of 1 or 2 small ones on that side and longer ones on other side. But yes other option is to have something more decorative on right hand side... but we already have a big brass/black antique style clock for the opposite wall which is a dark grey (see extra pic- but clock not up yet!). I will definitely post an update once we decide and get it done Thanks again Laura
