#3: Holes Are Not a Good Design Choice
If you’re asking us, the countertops and cupboard shelves in your kitchen should be practical first and design second. This use of pegboard-style metal shelving is just not ideal; spills of small grains like sugar, flour, rice, and coffee would be impossible to remove without individually scraping out the holes with a pick.
This kind of shelving might be perfect for a garage, but for a kitchen? We’ll pass, thanks. It’s just not that appealing to look at even when clean, and when it’s not? Well, we like not attracting roaches into the house.
