To cabinet or not to cabinet, that is the question... and Reese Witherspoon says no. Recent videos on the actress's TikTok account reveal that her kitchen is a cabinet-free zone. Instead, Reese opts for a more open-concept choice: kitchen shelves.
Reese's kitchen shelves are home to dozens of expertly chosen pieces of glassware, gray and white plates, and wooden bowls. The highly curated look is a brilliant kitchen idea: it provides functional storage as well as a decorative accent to the actress's space.

Interior design experts admire Reese's kitchen storage idea for its functionality. Andra Delmonico, interior designer at Trendey, states: 'Kitchen shelving offers a practical purpose in Reese's space and grabs attention by drawing the eye up. The shelf provides ample room to store dishes, so you can easily access them while cooking or serving.'
Andra has over 10 years of experience in home improvement including multiple project buildouts, redesigns, and interior decor revamps. Her passion for home design led her to start Trendey, where she has written over 200 articles on home improvement.
On the practicality point, Home Improvement expert and owner of Cherniak Handyman Services, Shlomo Cherniak, adds: 'Reese Witherspoon's shelves take advantage of vertical space, which is often underutilized in kitchen design. This can help to maximize storage capacity in smaller kitchens where space is limited.'
Beyond function, Reese's kitchen without wall cabinets has several aesthetic benefits. First, shelves creates the illusion of dimension. Andra says, 'It helps the room look taller, making it feel bigger and more open. This shelf is a creative design decision that adds style and usefulness to the kitchen.'

Second, artfully organized kitchen shelves can introduce new design elements to the space. 'The storage shelf can create contrast with the textures and colors in the room. For example, if the kitchen has a minimalist design with clean lines and neutral colors, a bold and vibrant storage shelf can serve as a focal point, adding visual interest and creating a dynamic contrast,' says Shlomo.
