Well, from Brazil over to France…in a manner of speaking. Étagères were first made popular in France during the 18th Century and were used mostly to display ornate items and small trinkets. Well, the étagère has come a long way and can now be found in all sorts of design styles and used for all sorts of items.
1 library | keep your books organized and stylized
2 plant stand | keep your leafy lovelies uniformly displayed in one place
3 bar | an elegantly retro way to keep the party readily available
4 kitchen storage | use as open storage for your kitchen needs from dishes to foods
5 room divider | the beauty of the etagere is that, unlike a bookshelf, it is completely open. Used as a room divider, you are sure to get light on either side

That’s some seriously organised and pretty styling! I would love a bit of open storage like no. 4 in my kitchen…

I love open shelving for a pantry. It’s so easy to see things and grab them in a second. I love the look of the 1st and 4th!

I really like the idea of open storage in kitchens and the one you’ve featured is just adorable

I really like the idea of using one as a room divider–that’s really smart, but I think they shine brightest as a bar.
