10 Floating Kitchen Shelves That’ll Add Instant Storage to Your Space
Here at The Kitchn, we know how important having the right storage is. That’s why we’re constantly on the hunt for everything from pieces that’ll transform your cabinets into an organized wonder to drill-free (read: renter-friendly) solutions that can seriously up your storage game. While these additions can be game-changing, there’s one classic form of storage you shouldn’t sleep on: a good floating shelf. Not only is open shelving a great small-space storage solution (always look for ways to take advantage of that vertical space when you can!), but it also doubles as a chic style element. Floating shelves are an especially nice choice thanks to the illusion that many of them provide of simply “floating” in air, adding instant interest to your space. Looking for some stylish floating kitchen shelves for yourself? Below, check out 10 of our favorite picks, guaranteed to elevate your kitchen storage in an instant.
