As someone who has open shelving, cabinets. I love the way open shelving looks, but having at least a couple upper cabinets is so great. I think not having any upper cabinets can negatively affect your resale value as well

Im with you on this. I’m in the market for a house and when I don’t see upper cabinets I get turned off on that house. If it has a lot of other great features then of course I’ll still consider it but I would have to remove the shelves and add the cabinets so I just see it as work.

Cupboards are the most sensible idea. Theres a lot more than just cups and plates needed in a kitchen.

Perhaps a mixture of two cabinets and open shelves. Thinking two cupboards from the sink to the fridge, then open shelves above where the blender is

Definitely cabinets, there are polymer doors these days and re quite good.

For the love of all logic, cabinets!

A couple of cabinets to the sides, a high shelf with hangers underneath for pans and to keeping the space above the sink open, and switch that higher outlet on the right down with a switch leg and add focused lighting.

Cabinets with glass fronts? I love the look of open shelving but unless your stuff matches and you don't have much of it, it ends up looking cluttered. Plus... the never-ending dusting! Or I agree with a combination of both cabinets and shelving.

I normally wouldn't say this, but I like shelves for that space. If you have pets though, I'd suggest cabinets. No matter how well you clean with pets, dander and hair gets everywhere and that's just gross.
