Kitchen Tip: Extra Storage Above the Stove
Stainless steel shelf creates handy storage and a cute kitchen display
It seems like you can never have enough storage in your kitchen. In this kitchen, Kelly Nelson and Michelle Plachter of Nelson-Plachter Design installed a sleek stainless steel shelf above the range. A standard stainless steel backsplash panel was installed between the range and the hood, and the shelf was mounted on top of the panel. This shelf blends seamlessly with the Viking range and hood and adds a fun display element to the space.
The stainless steel can help create a very contemporary look, or just add a touch of modern style to a more traditional kitchen.
If you decide to install one of these shelves above your stove, take the usual care when cooking and avoid storing things there you'll want to use while the stove is on.
