We are not telling you any news. In fact, kitchens with shelves in the upper area or in the office area have been present in magazines, blogs...  Without a doubt, the advantages are obvious. 

On the one hand, if the kitchen is small, tall furniture dwarfs the space, while if it is very tall it is very useless. Take a look at what you have placed on top, I'm sure you haven't worn anything for months. 

Precisely, the shelves will make your kitchen much more practical and will help you prioritize what is important and not save for the sake of storing pieces of kitchenware that you don't like or pastry molds that you have never used. 

Don't worry about order! 

The detractors of this trend will immediately put forward two arguments. The lack of cleanliness of the shelves and order. Precisely, these two ideas are the advantages of using shelves. 

On the one hand, they will help you to have a more minimalist kitchen without superfluous or little-used accessories. On the other hand, by having everything in sight, you force yourself to maintain order and not start accumulating senselessly. 

A simple trick to continue maintaining order is to put on the shelves what we use very frequently. So when you move it daily it will always be tidy and it will not cost anything to clean it, because there is no time to accumulate dust. 

A low-cost change you can make today

We have started the post talking about the enormous costs involved in a renovation in the kitchen, on average in Spanish homes it is carried out every 20 years.

However, the idea of placing shelves can be a simple solution to renovate our room a little without investing a lot of money. On the one hand, we can remove the upper furniture and opt for shelves to replace them or reserve them near the office for the dishes. 

Other ideas to renovate the kitchen can be to renovate the kitchenware a little, change the office lamp for an industrial one or look for new chairs or introduce natural fibers to give it a more Mediterranean character. 

Here are some ideas to give your kitchen a 180-degree turn.  Shall we get down to work?  Do you dare to do without the traditional scheme with tall units?
