Here are two examples of kitchens designed with no overhead cabinets. This concept makes the kitchen a focal point and gives it a clean contemporary feel.The picture above has open shelves for "artful" display of dishes.

This is a kitchen I designed with no overhead cabinets. The pantry is to the left in the picture. The slab of granite behind the cooktop is like a beautiful piece of natural artwork.

Well done, Patricia! I really love the look of no overhead cabinets - keeps the kitchen from looking so generic and mass-produced and makes it seem more like a "real" room.
ReplyDeleteThis type of kitchen is my absolute FAVORITE! I have been collecting photos of kitchen like these for several months now, because I hope to have a streamlined kitchen soon.
ReplyDeleteWow that picture on top is perfect! Those open cabinets in dark wood would be perfect here!! Love it alot!
ReplyDeleteHi Everybody
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you all are liking these kitchens with no upper cabinets. I'm glad. Maybe there is a kitchen revolution underway.
I agree, the beautiful piece of granite is like a piece of natural art.
ReplyDeleteSo, when there are no overhead cabinets, where do people store all of their plates and cups? Is there usually a storage closet off the kitchen? I saw a picture of a kitchen on a real estate posting, and there were very few cabinets; instead, the kitchen had a large alcove to the left of the stove, with plenty of storage.
I would like to join the revolution! Those kitchens are terrific!
ReplyDeleteHi TTInspire
ReplyDeleteWhen there are no overhead cabinets, usually the dishes are stored in a pantry, or open shelves, or lower drawers.
Hi Neutral Dwelling
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself in!!
Can you come and do my kitchen, love this!
ReplyDeletei love open cabinets. as a plate lover i would love to display all my plates and dishes to the world and hide away the big clunky stuff underneath :)
ReplyDeletegreat images. open kitchens really just open up a space visually!

hey Patricia, love your blog; and I really love these kitchens. I'm still a few years away from updating mine, but I really like the open look.
ReplyDeletei am such a fan of no uppers. AND i just clicked on your link for more pictures and got YOUR WEBSITE. holy cow. your work is beautiful of course and it all seems to have a view of your lovely city. i am also a fan of vancouver (and of a restaurant there called canoe, way up in the sky) anyhoo, the room with the brown chairs in the laurel house just yells out for me. i would very much like to sit there. and of course the ingo chandelier...he is my hero. i ramble. my apologies. beautiful work.
ReplyDeletethis is a dream kitchen! i wish we had this kind of space (and money)! it would probably take us 10 home flips to get here! :(
ReplyDeleteJust stunning, P. Just wondering if I will have enough storage if I do that though.
ReplyDeleteThat granite behind the cooktop is such a fab design element! Its adding so much to the look of this beautiful kitchen..
ReplyDeleteLove you work Patricia :)
WOW, I love this idea! Both kitchens are stunning!
ReplyDeleteps - I now have you in my RSS feed so I can continue to be inspired! :)
