Music lovers who own plenty of CDs can definitely benefit from some useful storage solutions. If you’re one of the people who have many CDs lying around the house in an organized fashion, it could be time to consider the furniture which is available for storing your CDs. In many cases, they perfectly match many homes and are available in so many different styles that you’re bound to find something which suits you. Here are some useful things to consider if you’re thinking about buying a CD storage cabinet with drawers.
Finding the right style can be very difficult, particularly if you have never owned a CD storage cabinet before or you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for. Here are some popular styles that you can consider.
- Rustic and shabby chic: Homes which are decorated in this style certainly don’t always want to introduce a modern item of furniture. As a result, rustic and shabby chic CD cabinets are very popular. These are generally made from distressed wood which is painted lightly with a color such as white, but they are just as often left without any paint, offering a more natural appearance.
- Modern simple wood: Unfinished and minimal wood is a great look for a CD cabinet if you’re looking for something which doesn’t attract a lot of attention. The doors will close on your CDs, which means there won’t be any color from the cases of your CDs.
- Slide out cabinet: Rather than having a cabinet which stands alone in the room, you can buy a cabinet which slides outwards by pulling on the door handles. This is the ideal way to conceal your CDs and keep the room perfectly tidy without anybody ever noticing what’s actually going on behind the scenes.
Not every style of a cd storage cabinet is available in every single color, so there may be some limitations here. However, some of the most popular colors include:
- Plain brown wood: This is, of course, a color that you will see very often – indeed on all of the wooden furniture pieces which are not decorated with anything else. The wood may be dark, particularly if you are buying a cabinet which is antique or hardwood. Alternatively, you may see lighter and softer wood which is used often on more modern CD storage units.
- Black or white: These colors are normally seen when the material is glossy wood. The glossy black or white paint makes the storage unit look very modern, and is usually paired with chrome handles for the doors. Glossy furniture is easy to clean too since it can be damp dusted regularly to prevent the build-up of dust and other debris.
