"Open shelving looks great ... when everything is perfectly clean. How can I keep it looking neat all the time?" -Mary-Paula AllegartWant to give your kitchen a dramatic new look? Open shelving is a great option. But when you take off your cabinet doors you're also risking another new look: An extremely cluttered one. Here's how to make sure you keep things under control.
1. Edit, edit, edit. Haven't used that tupperware in six months? Toss it.
2. Plan storage. Rarely used items go up higher, commonly used pieces are within each reach.
3. Invest. In sleek storage pieces and monochromatic dishware.
4. Give yourself a break. Purchase one piece of furniture that has doors -- you'll need some hiding spots!
