Shelves in the kitchen: a touch of style to make it functional

In an environment such as the kitchen, in which making the most of the available space becomes fundamental, suspended shelves become our precious allies, especially if you do not like the idea of filling the wall with cabinets difficult to clean, where the items we need always disappear at the bottom of the cabinet.

The shelves are perfect to complete the furniture of our kitchen, where we can place jars, cups, saucers, bowls and aromatic plants, all arranged in sight and divided by type and height.

The shelves in the kitchen can be placed in multiple solutions:

• In a single wall, a shelf under the other so you can fill the corner, that would otherwise remain unused

• To fill a wall space at the side of the kitchen to recreate a small pantry, where to go to place everyday objects and food reserves to keep handy.
