Wooden Kitchen Shelving Units

Choosing the Right Wooden Kitchen Shelving

When it comes to your kitchen, you need plenty of space to store your food items, your cutlery, your plates, and everything else you need to make the delicious meals that you create for your friends, your family, and yourself. Wooden kitchen shelving is one of the most popular types of shelving because it comes in many different formats and styles.

A tall wooden shelving unit would be ideal in the kitchen that doesn't have a lot of floor space. Kitchens like this could use tall wooden shelving units to double as places to store all your dishware as well as provide extra pantry space. Having a tall shelving unit takes advantage of the vertical space on your wall, and it allows you to use your regular kitchen cabinets for other items, increasing the amount of storage available to you.

Wood shelving units come in a diverse range of styles that can be used to perfectly match the rest of your kitchen decor.

• Glass-walled shelving units featuring wood accents create an airy look and feel, adding storage for key display items without taking up lots of visual space. These are ideal in small kitchens where you want to reduce the appearance of clutter.
• Fixed, thick slabs of reclaimed wood are an extremely popular kitchen shelving choice. Once these shelves are secured to the wall, they are perfect for holding some of your heavier items such as pots or heavy jars. You can choose natural or stained options.
• A metal shelving unit adorned with wood accents is another great choice. Metal is extremely durable and is perfect for holding heavier items. Some metal options include copper, chrome, or bronze, and the contrast with the wood creates gorgeous visual appeal.

When it comes to installing floating kitchen shelving, think about the types of items that are going to be placed on it. You want to confirm how the shelving is going to be secured to the wall and that your wall can take that type of weight. Shelving that is placed on hinges and brackets tends to be able to support a lot of weight, while other types of shelving may be better suited for light, decorative items. Be sure to check and double-check the shelving's weight limits.
