Modern Rustic China Hutch Cabinet

Modern Rustic China Hutch Cabinet

August Grove®

Perfect For: Contemporary spaces

What We Like: Multiple, tall storage compartments

Rustic with a touch of contemporary, this china hutch cabinet has versatile applications in terms of interior style settings. Fabricated from manufactured wood, the upper part features a clear glass door for storage and display. Meanwhile, the lower part is covered with a paneled door, revealing four more compartments. Its light gray tone lends weathered character to a space, perfect for modern farmhouse, coastal, and industrial-style dining rooms.

$394.99 $520.11

Designer Advice:

Utilize the upper part to showcase your glassware, plates, and other collectible dining items. If you have a wider wall, we recommend getting two of these and placing a buffet cabinet in between, ideally in the same wood tone. The light gray tone wood works well with both white-painted dining sets as well as dark or black-stained tables and chairs, if you’re aiming for contrast.

What Users Say:

The cabinet is a super sturdy weight, and a fantastic color.

Buying Guide

There are several different items that you can put in your large china cabinet besides the obvious china. For example, you could turn it into a bookcase by arranging different types of genres on each shelf. If you’re short on CD or DVD storage, your large china cabinet could be the solution to your multimedia problems. Or perhaps you were striving for an urban jungle? In that case, you could even use it to display your smaller house plants and succulents.

Finally, don’t forget that the main feature that characterizes large china cabinets is the fact that they’re designed to showcase the items that you store in them. That’s why they’re perfect to display your favorite souvenirs, pictures, or other ornamental and decorative items, too!

Your large china cabinet should go in your kitchen or dining room, if you have enough space to store your cabinet in these locations while still having space to use these rooms properly. Your dining room may be particularly appropriate, as generally you don’t need a lot of walking room in this area. See if you can place your china cabinet behind your chairs at the head or sides of your table, and across from a window, if at all possible. Just remember that you’ll need at least two feet of walking space to avoid overcrowding your room.

All china cabinets have glass fronts. The idea of china cabinets was originally the result of a growing popularity in 17th century Europe with the accumulation of porcelain ceramics from the Orient. The cabinet was a means of displaying your collection of porcelain dinnerware as well as heirlooms and other items of interest. Hence, it made sense that the front be glass. The cabinet’s sides and shelves may be glass too so as to add that extra visibility.

Today, a china cabinet is not only a place to keep your chinaware but silverware, glassware and general dinnerware. Items you would find in the cabinet include bowls, plates, cups and glasses. China cabinets would often have wooden drawers and/or a set of shelves whose contents are hidden from view by an opaque door.
