Kitchens and living rooms often get furnished with the same storage logic, when the two spaces actually demand different priorities.
The Kitchen Case
Open shelving in a kitchen invites grease and dust exposure on everyday items, while a cabinet like the Kanso Fluted Cabinet protects contents from the kitchen's harsher daily conditions.
The Living Room Case
The Nagomi Console's open shelving works well in a living room, where the air is cleaner and display value matters more than protection.
The Honest Verdict
The debate isn't really about style, it's about what each room's air and daily activity actually expose the contents to. Match the storage type to the room's conditions, not just its look.
