I strongly dislike open shelving, especially in the kitchen. Anything on that shelf will collect dust easily. Any renter-friendly advice on how to make this look better while also keeping it functional? 

I was thinking of hanging up little curtains from the top shelf down, but not sure what to do with the top shelf. 

Unfortunately, there isn't much cabinet space in this outdated kitchen so I will need to reserve the cabinets for pantry items/spices and shelves for dinnerware. 

I'm a pretty visual person so if you have picture examples, please send them my way!

TIA!!
