Buying Guide

What style to choose for a buffet cabinet with glass doors?

For a formal dining room or living room, you can’t go wrong with a buffet cabinet with glass doors in a french-country or antique-style since these kinds of designs usually include detailed carvings and fancy pull handles that would fit right into a classy setting. If your space leans toward a more casual and cozy vibe, a traditional buffet cabinet with a white or off-white finish may be spot-on for your taste. That said, modern and contemporary spaces call for buffet cabinets with sleek lines, geometric patterns, and glossy finishes.

How to display china in a buffet cabinet with glass doors?

A buffet cabinet with glass doors is perfect for displaying china in an approximately symmetrical arrangement, with at least a couple of plates displayed upright for maximum visibility. Although you need to stack some of the dishes to utilize available space, having a few of them sit vertically helps make your collection look more impressive.

Consider hanging teacups from small hooks inside the cabinet, especially if you are short on horizontal space. Teapots and larger teacups that won’t fit on hooks look great on or next to plates. If there are too many pieces in one set to fit comfortably on a single shelf, take advantage of lower shelves or put part of the collection in storage.

Can you display things other than china in a buffet cabinet?

Yes! Your buffet cabinet with glass doors can be used for endless purposes.

While traditionally these pieces of furniture were used in the dining room for fine plates, they can also be used in the kitchen as a substitute pantry if you don’t have a separate area for your room temperature goods.

We’ve also seen them used successfully as bookcases and as entertainment centers. Never fear, you’ll be able to use your buffet cabinet for any need you may have in your home.
