Displaying your favorite items in a vintage curio cabinet is a classy way to show off your ornaments. Generally made from hardwood with glass panels allowing items to be displayed easily, these cabinets are ideal for traditional homes or contemporary houses which are looking for antique or vintage furniture. Let's look at some of the various styles which are for sale, and which ones might be suitable for your home.

What are the different designs of vintage curio cabinets?

The most popular designs of vintage curio displays include:

Decorative glass panels

Plain glass panels look suitable in homes which already have a lot of furniture, but if you are buying a vintage curio cabinet as a feature piece for your home, decorative glass panels could prove to be a beautiful addition. There are swirls which are either hand painted or molded from wood or metal onto the panels. This often mirrors the swirls and curves which are positioned along the bottom of the curio cabinet.

Mounted wall curio cabinet

A vintage curio cabinet doesn't have to take up a lot of space in your home. If you only have a few items that you would like to display, consider a mounted wall curio cabinet. These can be found with a vintage style too, but the ability to fix it to your wall means you can save space in the home as well as showing off a slightly different style of cabinet.

Curio cabinet without glass

Not everyone likes the glass panels on their vintage curio cabinets, but thankfully there are other options and styles to consider. The vintage cabinets without glass panels are equally as good at displaying your favorite items, and you don't have to suffer the glare from the reflective glass surface. Often in a shabby chic design with weathered wood paint in white or grey, this timeless style often has floral curtains on either side or some small hand painted decorative flowers along the edges.

Circular curio cabinet

If you don't want straight edges or a rectangular shaped cabinet in your home, why not consider the circular curio cabinets? These are in a cylinder shape and boast a softer look than the straighter and more defined cabinet. You can position this style of cabinet in the center of a room too, rather than being confined to positioning it against the wall. Some variations of this curio cabinet will rotate on a handy mechanism, making it ideal if you need a cabinet for a shop or stall. Inside the home though, you can still make use of a rotating cylinder curio cabinet, particularly if you have many different items to display.

Curio cabinets with drawers

While most of them have shelving, there are vintage curio cabinets available either exclusively with drawers or with shelves alongside some drawers. The ideal choice for those who want a variety of storage types, and perhaps have books, magazines and other paperwork which could be stowed away in the drawers and kept out of sight. Brass handles match the brass legs of the cabinet for consistency.
