The versatility and practicality of cube shelves means that they can look different with some simple styling.
Cube Shelves Around The Kitchen
Open shelves in kitchens are all the rage now. On the other hand, maybe you don’t want your mismatched items (but not perfectly mismatched in the manner of home magazines) on display. You can add cube shelving in or near your kitchen to bring it bang up to date.

As you can see here, cube shelves are great for dividing space as well to give some definition to your co-worker(s) area.
