Open Shelving: Everyday Items on Display

A set of open shelves without doors. Light-colored wood or white-painted shelves are fixed to the wall, holding stacked white dinner plates, a row of glass jars, several enamel cups, and a stack of cloth towels. Items are arranged by frequency of use rather than aesthetics, some stacked a bit unevenly. The edge of the shelf might have a short lace or floral print curtain tacked to it. Avoid: using closed cabinets with doors, arranging items into a perfect display, using matching sets of tableware, leaving shelves empty with nothing on them.

一組沒有門片的層架。淺色木或漆成白色的層板固定在牆上,上面放著疊起來的白色餐盤、一排玻璃罐、幾個琺瑯杯與一疊布巾;東西以使用的頻率而不是美觀排列,有些疊得不太整齊。層板的邊緣可能釘著一條蕾絲或碎花的短簾。避免:使用有門片的封閉櫃體、把物品排列成完美的陳列、使用成套的餐具、讓層架空著沒有東西。
