Rather than hide kitchenware behind closed doors, showing off cooking utensils and serving ware has long been an option. Architectural Digest tells us that the rise in industrial kitchen layouts as well as chefs’ pride in the tools of their trade has led to a new wave of decent exposure in the kitchen. Copper pots dangling from a bespoke rail, open shelving showing off a crockery collection, or cutlery glimmering from the walls are all in the spotlight in this latest feature. Hanging from the ceiling is allowed and even encouraged! Grab your inspo and get cooking!

NOTE: I’m out of the office for the next few weeks, but we want to keep your in box warm while I’m away. Below, find a couple of current homes for sale to tickle your taste buds. Read this week’s real estate section or peruse today’s open house listings for more, and I’ll be back before you know it! —Sarah
