It's all about grouping, themes and spacing. Don't forget to line those tops with newspaper. Once a year, take up the paper and replace. It will save you a ton of work-and boy does it get dusty up there.

Space Above the Cabinets and More Groupings

I always have such a hard time figuring out what kind of object to put on top of my cabinets. I really dislike fake plants and I feel like that is a staple for so many people's cabinet top design. Do you have any suggestions for objects that take up a lot of space like fake plants?
ReplyDeleteMegan,
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the "style" that you have in your kitchen. If you have an older look going, look for large plates, antique cans, baskets, and long framed pictures. Some people put little white Christmas lights us there, which looks good too. For a more current look try large pottery, bottles, vases or art work. Group the items together in sections. Then it won't look cluttered.
The newspaper tip is a very good idea. How often do you really ever clean on top of your shelves and cabinets? That extra layer will make cleanup a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteI always thought of what to do with the top of the cabinet. It is always a challenge. Great work you've done here. Are the bottles glued?

Blue Turtle,
ReplyDeleteThe bottles are not glued, they are just placed up there. Thanks for visiting the site!!
Christy,
ReplyDeletemy son in law has a lot of beer growlers and beer bottles that are currently just sitting above the cabinets, how would I make that look nice?
I think they would look great!! Place them in groupings and add some vines along the bottom.
