Kitchens without upper cabinets look very light, airy and beautiful. This is probably why they have become so popular recently.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , this option cannot boast of practicality.

However, if you cook rarely or have a large pantry to store rarely used kitchen utensils, this kitchen design solution is quite suitable for you.

However, there are several important points to consider.

Firstly, when there is no upper cabinet in the kitchen, the empty wall should not be left empty and faceless. Its main function is to attract attention with a bright color, pattern or decor.

To achieve this goal, decorate the wall with plates, paintings, canvases or posters.

Secondly, in this case you will have to think about how to protect the wall from water splashes, grease and other dirt. Wallpaper is hardly the best idea, especially if it is paper and not washable.

And thirdly, you need to take care of the exhaust pipe that sticks out of the wall. The good news is that it makes the interior interesting, the bad news is that it does not look aesthetically pleasing.
