One of the great things about open kitchen shelving is that it works in any style of kitchen. From a farmhouse to the most contemporary or industrial loft space, open shelving in a kitchen can be styled to suit your home. You can pull off any look--even if you change your mind a lot or want to style them for the changing seasons--by simply swapping out what you put on them. Luckily, stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls have tons of kitchen items in different styles at awesome prices, making it easy to find items that fit your aesthetic without breaking the bank.
Another great place to look for things to put on open shelving is yard sales or thrift stores. Pretty mismatched bowls, a serving platter, or a set of vintage glasses could all add to your inventory at an even prettier price.
Styling open shelving doesn't have to be complicated. Courtney Cachet, the style expert working on behalf of TJ Maxx and Marshalls, says, "Don't worry about everything matching in open shelves. It actually looks more chic when you have mixed and matched dishware and glassware. Keep the shelves simple and minimal in design; this way if you do mix and match it looks stylish and not 'messy.'"
Obviously, dishware and glassware are a necessary element on open shelves in a kitchen; but, pops of color and fun accessories can keep things interesting. Here are six sets of kitchen items to suit open shelving in any kind of kitchen.
Try farm fresh accessories like this egg holder and ceramic berry basket, mixed with rustic finishes like a wooden cutting board or enamelware for modern farmhouse style.

For a vintage look, try the classic combination of milk glass and jadeite. Don't put your kitchen towels in a drawer! Instead, pile them in a wire basket for a dose of texture. Other ways to add interest to vintage-style kitchen shelves is to use clear glass storage containers for dry goods, and items like cake stands and kitchen scales to lend some height.

Go for a retro vibe with this mid-century modern mix of pattern and bold color. Don't overlook small kitchen appliances, like this orange toaster, as an opportunity to add color and style. And when going for the Mad Men look, think of the trends popular during that era, such as barware, TV trays, and even a fondue set.

This is a perfect example of how to mix patterns and colors for an effortless eclectic look on open shelving. Stick to two or three colors to bring everything together; but, don't be afraid to mix old and new.

A set of all-white dishes can be a grounding force if you plan on using lots of colorful kitchen accessories. Another trick for a modern look is to prop a piece of graphic kitchen art on the shelves that incorporates the colors of the rest of your items.

Transitional style blends traditional and modern elements. This classic KitchenAid stand mixer in a bold cobalt blue is a perfect example of how to use transitional style in your kitchen. Also, choose a simple color scheme that uses contemporary patterns, like these blue and white bowls in geometric designs.
