WHO NEEDS UPPER CABINETS ANYWAY?

A kitchen with marble walls and black cabinets.

Let’s be honest, function aside, when it comes to upper cabinets, less is more. 

We’re not saying it makes sense for everyone – or even for most people – we’re just saying it looks friggen fantastic. If you have the space (and the will power to declutter your life and live with less cabinet storage) a kitchen without upper cabinets is a little slice of kitchen-design-heaven. 

We created this beach house kitchen in Tiny Ontario with no uppers to highlight the stunning smoke veined white marble slab backsplash – and to help keep the eye’s focus on the amazing beach view. Seriously, this view, it’s simply too much. 

We absolutely love how this project turned out. Sleek, flat-panel black base cabinets, tone on tone hardware, frameless windows, and a panel-ready fridge completed the look.
