Space Above Our Kitchen Cabinets What to Do
Hello, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams! Lately I have noticed different discussions, and articles about that space that is above the kitchen cabinets. The gap that is at the top of the cabinet, and to the ceiling. Most kitchens have about a 1-2 foot space.
You can either leave it empty, look at it, look at it again, wonder what to do, and think about it. You might look around the internet, or some of your facebook groups for some answers. No rules what to do with that space which is great. There are so many choices, and possibilities to do. Do as you wish, and what works for you that you will be comfortable with.
Many people will use it as a storage area. Items not used often, or mostly for like holidays or special occasions. Some choose to add decorative shelves, some will add some cubbies, and many will use it as an open display area. Show some cookbooks, display some decorative dishes, different vases, some of your collectibles, plants, baskets, and decorate with items that will accent your kitchen decor. I have seen different lighting added, remote control candles, shiplap added, a backsplash added, or some decorative wallpaper too. Another idea I have seen is with some wood beams that looked really nice. You don’t always have to do anything. You can decide to do nothing too.
Do something simple
Show off some of your favorite things
Displaying different plates looks really good
Incorporate some of your baskets, trays, vases, add a few cubbies spaces to decorate
Show off some of your collectibles
No certain items. Just a little of this, and little of that
Show case some of your collectives from travels, different visits, special times
I Love the look with the wood beams! You wouldn’t have to really decorate with anything else. Depends on the space that you have.
Great for seasonal holiday decorating with remote candles too
Christmas decorative with some lighting looks very nice
All the pictures I am sharing with you are ideas from FB Groups, google, and Pinterest is another great place to look for things too. I wish I could find pictures of how I had ours done years ago when we lived on an acreage. I had so much fun with it! I had some colored wooden folding shutters with some of my vintage cans, and vintage cheese graters displayed. Then on the other cupboards I displayed my different Pyrex bowls of different sizes I had. The empty wall at the end of the cupboards I then had all my old enamel pans hanging that are pink, and the aqua colored ones. I am sooo sorry! I really wish I could find these pictures to show you, but I think they were on my computer that had been stolen back in that time frame.
So, if you have cupboards like this, and not quite sure what to do, I hope I was able to give you some ideas that could lead into other ideas too. Be creative, show some of your creations and crafts that you have made, your collectibles, and so on. The possibilities are endless. Have some fun!
Thanks for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Have fun with all you do! Take care, and see you again soon.
