In our quest to obtain the perfect kitchen design, mankind has made a few great discoveries. For example, make sure your cabinet knobs aren’t preventing your dishwasher from opening. Or, measure the fridge space before buying a new fridge. In terms of design style, we’ve also discovered that glass shelving looks fantastic in a kitchen. Let us tell you a few ways glass shelving improves kitchens like yours.
Window Herb Garden
If you want to know how glass shelving improves kitchens, the first thing to consider is a window herb garden. Who doesn’t love fresh kitchen herbs? Do you have any idea how easy they are to grow? Every time you cook, you can select a fresh herb right from your window herb garden to season your meal. The plants will just keep growing.
What does that have to do with glass shelving? Well, glass shelving is the perfect way to set up a window herb garden without completely disrupting the light flow in your kitchen. You may be wondering how you could have a window garden without a bay window. The great news is, it’s simple.
Your window probably has a sill, right? The inset part of the wall is often enough space to install a glass shelf. So long as there’s enough space to mount the shelf with adequate support, you can simply install glass shelving right in front of your window. And, the window can still be opened. Awning windows simply require enough space to rotate the window crank and sliding windows just require some care not to knock things off the shelves.
Liquor Shelving
Got a bit of free wall space in your kitchen? Liquor shelving is a really classic way to use glass shelving to improve kitchens. Start by putting up some mirror backsplash if you really want your liquor shelf to be a hit. It will reflect the bottles back on themselves and make your stash look twice as large. Then, install some glass shelving right in front of that backsplash and stack your bottles high.
The glass of the shelves allows light to flow through one bottle to another and prevents the wall from looking too full, even if it’s chock full of booze. It’s amazing what some simple transparency can do!
Open Concept Dish Storage
Don’t like the bulk of overhead cabinets? Keep your kitchen feeling spacious by relying on glass shelving for open concept dish storage. Not only is glass excellent at letting light pass easily through your kitchen, it’s also moisture proof. Plus, storing dishes on glass shelving gives it a neat floating effect.
