There are a fair few lessons that we all must learn the hard way. One of mine was during our first renovation and complete kitchen overhaul. The previously dark and very, very brown kitchen we were replacing had wall units that didn’t really work for me as storage.
I was forever reaching (and failing to reach) back-of-shelf items; they created shade from the large south-facing window, and open shelving instead of wall cabinets was quickly picking up as a so-called ‘timeless trend’ that admittedly looked far more achievable and affordable than installing units.
