Do you want to add some extra storage to your kitchen without having to install more cabinets? A kitchen ladder shelf can provide additional space to keep items (without costing a lot of money).
Benefits of Using Ladder Shelves for Storage…
Open “see-through” shelving makes a room appear larger, as compared to closed cabinets. In other words, you can gain space for dish ware, cooking utensils and cookbooks without feeling like it’s crowding your kitchen.
Not to mention, a kitchen ladder shelf unit makes items easier to find and more accessible. Consequently, these shelves provide the perfect spot for frequently-used gadgets, appliances or snacks.
Therefore, I actually find this style of kitchen shelving quite functional. You might have noticed yourself that more and more kitchens are incorporating some shelves instead of all cabinets into their layout.
Note: Also check out this folding ladder shelf. It has rustic wood shelves instead of grey concrete and comes in 7 different distressed colors. In addition, it conveniently folds flat and fits well in smaller spaces.
Do Open Shelving Units Make a Room Look Cluttered?
At first, I was concerned that ladder storage in a kitchen might add clutter. I mean, you can’t hide any messes, right?
However, the minimalistic design, straight lines and neutral colors lend itself to a clean, unobtrusive look. In fact, the contemporary-style frame helps it blend in whether you have a modern, rustic or industrial urban kitchen.
Note: As a matter of fact, my favorite feature of this urban ladder kitchen shelf is the grey block-like shelves that look like concrete. Not only does this element make this furnishing look unique, I also think it gives the ladder bookshelf a more sophisticated appeal.
A Cookbook Display Case?
Speaking of ladder bookshelves, this unit offers a creative way to display a cookbook collection. Plus, you can instantly see all of the titles.
This storage bookshelf also has another characteristic that I really like. You can set them side-by-side to create a wall of shelves.
Note: Compared to a large full-length wall unit, having small sections makes installation so much easier. Not to mention, you can customize the layout of your bookshelves to fit the shape and size of your kitchen.
By the way, the legs of this unit have rubber feet on them. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about scratching your floor.
