If your home feels overrun by clutter, but your closets are already stuffed, adding a shelving unit can help get things in order. “In almost every project, our clients ask us to add a lot of storage,” said Frederick Tang, a New York-based architect. “But in a lot of cases, people don’t want a big, hulking closet, or a closed piece, so we use open shelves.”To find the best kind of open shelving for your home, consider where you’ll put it and how it will be used over time. Also think about whether you want the unit to visually recede or to serve as a statement piece. “Open shelves can be a place to add a little color or texture,” Mr. Tang said.
