Modern wood kitchens with aesthetic cabinetry will always be in vogue. However, by adding tasteful cabinetry, homeowners face a new challenge: what to do with the space above the cabinets? Make the most of this dead space by following these 7 tips to breathe new life into your modern kitchen.

How To Decorate the Space Above Kitchen Cabinets?

 

Highlight Your Cabinets with Sconce Lighting

 

Add a statement sconce above your cabinets to increase illumination. Use these to highlight your cabinets and add more light to your kitchen space.

 

Get the Drinks Flowing with a Wine Rack

 

Turn your kitchen into an oenophile haven by adding a wine rack to the space above your cabinets. Showcase your vintages in the open while saving precious floor space.

 

Use Cookware to Your Advantage

 

Do you have fancy cookware? The space above the cabinetry is a great place to display them. For instance, copper cookware perfectly complements a white kitchen design.

 

Add a Touch of Nostalgia with Wallpaper

 

Use vintage elements like wallpaper to brighten your overall kitchen aesthetics. Wallpapers are perfect if the space between the cabinetry and the ceiling is small. Make sure the wallpaper matches the overall theme of your kitchen.

 

Showcase Your Personality with Vintage Ceramics

 

Vintage ceramics go perfectly well with dark wooden cabinets. Decorate the dead space above the cabinets of your modern kitchen with white and blue ceramic jars or plates to add a personal touch to the space.

 

Make the Most of Storage with Extra Shelving

 

If you have unused space between cabinets instead of the top, adding shelving is an excellent choice. Use the floating shelves to showcase some interesting wares. Contrast it with your cabinetry to create visual appeal.

 

Bring More Vibrancy with Plants

 

Bring more natural elements to the kitchen, such as small house plants. Not only do they fill the empty space nicely, but they also add a refreshing hue and vibrancy to the entire setup, especially if you are using light colours.
