Kitchen
Air above kitchen cabinets. It’s tempting to utilize every kitchen nook and cranny for storage. This can lead to overfilled spaces and the impression of clutter. Upper kitchen cabinetry is often hard to reach and impractical. Leaving the upper parts of your cabinetry as negative space, and using the lower parts for storage instead, can give your kitchen breathing space and enhance other features in the room. Here, the elegant light fixture works to draw focus to the lower storage section.
Although negative space is sometimes referred to as “white space,” it’s not always white. In this tiled backsplash, the gray tiles take the role of negative space in the pattern, making the yellow and white shapes spring from the background.
