Unique Shelving Units for Your Kitchen

1. Glass Door Shelves

Glass doors are a great way to show off your beautiful dishes.

Glass doors are very popular for kitchen cabinetry. They can look amazing, especially when they are divided into smaller panes like the unit pictured above. They are a great way to show off your prized dishes while still keeping them protected.

Adding backlighting to a cabinet with glass doors can give you an even more dramatic effect. It’s probably a good idea to design your kitchen with a combination of both glass doors and solid doors. That way you can pick and choose which cupboard contents you want to highlight and which cabinets you want to conceal.

2. Corner Lazy Susan Shelves

Installing a lazy susan is a great solution for storing items in a corner cabinet.

Lazy Susans are a simple and helpful device to install on the shelves of your corner cabinet. A lazy Susan is a type of turntable or rotating tray that can be made from a number of different materials including:

• Plastic
• Wood
• Glass

You sometimes see lazy Susans used in the middle of a large table to easily serve food to everyone seated at the table instead of having to pick up dishes and pass them around. You simply rotate the tray until you can access the dish that you want.

This same principle works for corner shelf units where it is difficult to reach the items stored at the back of the cabinet. Instead of getting down on your hands and knees and reaching to the distant corner, you can easily rotate the turntable and pick up what you need.

3. Display Shelving Units

Shelves can also be used as a lovely design feature.

You can also incorporate your shelves into the overall design of your kitchen. Not only do they serve a very useful purpose of storing items, but they can also make your room look amazing. Open shelves with no doors incorporated into your cabinetry are becoming very popular. The extra shelving installed below the main upper cabinets in the photo above is a unique design.

Notice that the back of the shelving unit is left open so that the tile motif continues up the wall, opening up the space. In addition, another open shelf unit was installed on the opposite wall in a contrasting but complementary colour to add further visual interest to the space.

5. Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are a very popular type of shelving unit in kitchens.

A floating shelf is a shelf that doesn’t have any visible means of support so it appears to be floating in the air. In fact, the shelf is securely attached to your wall, but the brackets or other device used to hold up the shelf is cleverly hidden giving you a very clean and impressive look. Floating shelves are especially popular for styles that feature clean lines and little clutter such as:

• Contemporary
• Modern
• Minimalism

Even if you are going for a more traditional look, you might want to incorporate floating shelves as they do look amazing and their simplicity means that what is on the shelf is being highlighted more than the shelf itself.

6. Oversized Shelving Unit

Go all out with oversized shelving units in your kichen.

Bigger is definitely better when it comes to storage space. The above oversized shelving unit is not short on space and it provides this kitchen with an impressive focal point. The floor to ceiling unit is beautifully nestled in an unused corner.

It is painted the same colour as the kitchen cabinets to add to the flow and continuity of the room. A great tip is to install spotlights and direct at your shelves so that they pop even more.
