The [kitchen storage unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legni-collection) gets rid of bulky cabinets and cupboards, displays all your utensils and has a specific spot for each one. The [exposed shelving system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-storage) basically controls what items you own because of its specific design. Erika has a specific spot for everything from spoons to teas and even sweets.
