An Open Shelving Twist: Cabinet Cubbies Kitchen Inspiration

When we see open kitchen storage it's usually in the form of floating shelves. But for those who want the look without quite that much exposure, try this: cabinet cubbies!

Because of their space restrictions, cabinet cubbies force editing, so you're less likely to end up with a messy, mismatched row of kitchen stuff (open shelving's biggest critique). The glass door cabinets right above the cubbies are also a nice compromise: see the pretty dishes inside without worrying about the cleaning upkeep!

If you like this kitchen, you can check out the full tour at Apartment Therapy. And if you're curious about the color of the cabinets (as I was), the lower cabinets are painted in Farrow & Ball "Green Stone" while the upper cabinets are painted in "Bone."

Kitchen Before & After: Debra's Bibliothque Paris Kitchen Renovation Reader Kitchen Remodel

When Kitchn reader Debra bought her apartment in the Marais district of Paris in 2007, the kitchen had not been renovated since the 1950's. Needless to say, it needed a lot work! But because it was small and opened into the living room, she also wanted it to feel integrated with the rest of the house, to have a bit of a bibliothque feel. Here's what she did:

Dark wood, a black backsplash, and dark grey/green floors help create a cozy feel that blends with the old-world feel of the apartment. Debra tells us a little more about the project:

As the apartment is small, it was a real challenge to make every space count. I therefore decided to make the kitchen open, knocking down all walls and having it intergrated with my living room. It then had to have a feeling of a bibliothque rather than a full-blown kitchen. The end result had to work with the living area and also be a real working kitchen.

I love spending time in the kitchen preparing great things that make people happy and full! It isn't so important how big your kitchen is but how organized, so that you can actually prepare and cook with as little stress as possible and have fun! An open kitchen like this one allows you to share the social aspect of cooking with your guests, thus my attraction to this type of set up. I have a similar one in my fisherman's cottage in Normandy so people can actually chip in and help or hang out by the fireplace and relax.

Thanks for sharing, Debra!
