Drawer dividers are very useful. It won’t just help you organize your utensils and wares but also make every drawer look cleaner. We suggest using wood dividers as they wood look better in most drawers.
5. Open shelves
If you want a more modern looking kitchen, filling it with overhead wall mounted cabinets is monotonous. As they say, unnecessary repetition makes everything dull. That is why nobody likes to do chores. Open shelving can break the ice, especially if you have gorgeous looking wares. Combining wall cabinets and open shelves won’t just add the necessary storage but it will also give you the opportunity to display objects.
