Open Shelving Kitchen Cabinets Without Doors Pics. Our kitchen was small, dark and felt closed in with old ugly upper cabinets. Open shelving — a trend in kitchen design — is actually really easy to live with.

Complete the project with cabinet moulding, storage and accessories you'll love. Shelves without doors represent a stylish alternative to regular cabinetry. After emptying the cabinets, use a utility knife or other blade to score any caulked seams between the cabinets and the walls, the cabinets and molding, and individual cabinets (image 1). The bonus of storing them on open shelving is that it cuts out a step when you're unloading the dishwasher.
