Buying Guide

What is a curio cabinet?

A curio cabinet is a unique display case for specialized collections. These cabinets are most often made of glass, wood, or metal and designed with multiple shelves. They were initially created to feature fascinating items, which elicit others’ curiosity.

In the 18th century, the phrase “curio cabinet” first appeared as regular cabinets were increasingly used to display collections rather than for practical storage. These regular cabinets soon underwent alterations to make them stand out and showcase specialized collections. Today, a contemporary corner curio cabinet is a popular option for any room in your home.

Additional features defining a curio cabinet include mirrors covering the back side of the interior and targeted lighting. The mirror provides a fuller view of collectibles displayed and also creates the illusion of more space. Specialty lighting within these cabinets ranges from overhead to multi-shelf options.

What do you put in a contemporary corner curio cabinet?

A contemporary corner curio cabinet is a modern take on a classic cabinet that provides unique storage and display opportunities. A corner curio cabinet is a perfect place to put your collectibles so they’re safely out of reach but can still be appreciated from a distance.

Fine china and tea sets are a popular choice for displaying in a contemporary corner curio cabinet. The contrast of modern and classic is tasteful, especially if you have a meaningful old English rose tea set, a Russian wedding tea set, or a treasured traditional Japanese tea set.

Another option is to use the contemporary corner curio cabinet as a display unit for valuable artifacts you’ve collected or inherited over the years. If you have historical clay pots, handmade vases from trips to other countries, or small pieces of local artwork, you can dedicate space on each shelf to letting these collectibles shine.

Your corner unit can also serve as a stunning home bar cabinet. If you’re a collector of fine wines or expensive scotch, display one or two bottles on each shelf.

What are the available styles of curio cabinets?

Curio cabinets are great for storing your most treasured items, unlike china cabinets that are specifically designed to store china. The glass panels on the front and sides ensure enhanced visibility of your keepsakes, and the cabinet itself is designed to keep your goods safe.

The available styles of curio cabinets are wall-mounted, corner, and standard curio cabinets. The wall-mounted curio cabinets are ideal for displaying items away or out of reach of children. It is also space-saving making it ideal for small spaces. A standard curio cabinet stands on the floor and contains multiple shelves.

A contemporary corner curio cabinet with installed lighting to elevate the look makes a great addition to a lonely corner in the home.
