Shelf Styling
A step by step tutorial on kitchen shelf styling.
We recently added new countertops to our kitchen by replacing bamboo with stone. This has been a dream of ours since we purchased our home four year ago. '“A home takes time!” I cannot believe the transformation! (before and after of stone corner) Along with the new countertops, we made new shelving! I have always loved the composition of clean lines with the warmth and texture of wood. And with our white walls, and white countertops (Smartstone Amani Classico) it was a no brainer to add in natural elements of wood to balance all the white!
The wood we used is Spotted Gum, It’s a hardwood known for its strength and resilience to scratches and knocks. It has a beautiful rich brown colour and paired perfectly with the tones of our floorboards which are cypress pine. The depth of the shelves are 270 mm and the thickness of the shelves are 45mm. We customised the planks of wood to make our shelves fit our kitchen corner!
You can watch behind the scenes here how we made our kitchen shelves!
Of course new shelves means styling. (The best part of obviously!)
Along with kitchen shelves being filled with pretty and sentimental pieces that make a house a home, it’s just as important that they are functional and practical to those who live there, since the kitchen is normally the most used room in a home.
Below are a few tips on styling kitchen shelves.
