A china cabinet is the ideal piece of furniture if you need to keep things away from little troublesome hands or you're just tired of not having the necessary space to display your ornaments. If you've started shopping for china cabinets already, you might be surprised at the range of designs which are available. In order to choose the perfect one for your home, it's worthwhile considering the many styles in advance.
If you have many items, consider a full-length cabinet which allows for maximum display areas. This does mean that everything within the cabinet will be exposed as your items will be displayed behind glass panels. If you want a cabinet which is only half exposed, look at the designs which have the top half covered with glass panels and the bottom half installed with opaque drawers or cupboards.
Cabinets are often available in a large variety of different wood types, which means you might struggle to know the difference and choose the right type. Here are the main wood types which are available and what you need to know.
- Light cherry wood: This beautiful decorative wood adds a warm and soft tone to your home, and makes it ideal for displaying antique ornaments. This type of wood also suits traditionally designed homes.
- Alder wood: A great choice if you want to go for an authentic Asian look, alder wood is sturdy and the color is warm yet simplistic. This allows it to fit in many different homes, from those with more contemporary designs to the more traditionally decorated houses.
- Pine wood: A popular choice of wood, pine wood can often be more affordable and provide a lighter and more subtle look than a darker wood. This can often be painted over too, so if you have a particular color scheme in mind, speak to the manufacturer about customizing your china cabinet.
- Straight and simple: China cabinets are not just for the older homes, since many newer designs allow them to fit into modern homes too. Avoid the intricate designs and choose a simple and straight cut if you want a display cabinet for your contemporary home. Rectangular framed glass panels provide a modern look to a glass cabinet.
- Intricate and detailed: For a traditional china cabinet which is as authentic as you can get, look for a cabinet which is detailed with intricate designs. This can be seen above the cabinet and along the top, adding to the length of the cabinet while also creating elegance and style. If you don't have the space in your home for extra detail on top of the cabinet, you can consider cabinets for sale which have intricate designs along the sides or on the panels.
