2020s – Open Shelves
Although open shelves were used in the 1940s and the 1970s, they really made a serious comeback in the 2020s. Unfortunately, they haven’t always improved the look of a kitchen. If anything, it’s made it worse by making it seem cluttered.
There’s nothing wrong with open shelves as long as they aren’t overwhelmed with a lot of items. Otherwise, the kitchen starts to look like an overstocked department store. Also, it’s a pain to have to dust every single item individually.
