Kitchen Planning Without Upper Cabinets

The concept of an open floor plan—tying the living, dining, and kitchen into one cohesive space—has redefined modern kitchen design. Eliminating upper wall cabinets enhances this open feel, making way for a seamless visual transition across spaces. This approach works particularly well for compact homes, as it increases visual volume without sacrificing functionality.

At Premium German Kitchens (PGK), we create bespoke kitchens that embrace minimalist elegance, intelligent layout, and maximum efficiency. Whether you’re exploring German kitchens, buying a kitchen in London, or searching for kitchens near me, here’s how to plan a stunning kitchen without wall units.

2. Introducing a colorful backsplash

Backsplash can be used to add texture and depth into the kitchen. Our experts at PGK can provide insights into the best materials for your backsplash, whether you want a seamless look or a focus point that expresses your style. Blending materials and finishes can create interesting contrasts, while using the same material as the worktop will achieve a streamlined, sleek look.

3. Hanging up art / personal display

The options for personalization are endless. Here at PGK, there is a broad range of display systems that can showcase kitchenware, greenery or decorative items that create a space tailored to our customers’ lifestyle and preferences. These bespoke features elevate the end user experience.

4. Feature appliances

A canopy hood helps defines the focal point of the kitchen. Keeping the surrounding area devoid of chunky wall cabinets allows this bespoke hood to shine.
