A tall corner hutch is the perfect way to take advantage of that odd corner in your living room, dining room or entry. Its vertical shape allows you to organize items that might otherwise be cluttering tabletops or could even be in danger of being broken. It can also make an attractive place to display special items, such as collections of figurines. It can come in all sorts of decorator shapes and sizes from a narrow, tri-corner shelf arrangement to a carved and inlaid piece of cabinetry.
Tall corner hutch cabinets and tall corner cabinets, in general, make use of what might otherwise be wasted space. They can be used as storage or they can be used to show off special collections or items. They can also be used to keep items that might be needed often in plain view, making them easy to find. This is particularly true of the lighted cabinets. They all partake of that easy to tuck into a corner attribute and range in style from very simple to extremely ornate. This makes it easy to find a cabinet that will work for you.
The most common designs and styles of corner hutch cabinets include pieces such as:
Rustic China Cabinet
This corner hutch takes advantage of the triangular shelf shape. It is a classic hutch, with a glass-fronted top cabinet, and an open shelf in the middle and a cabinet with solid doors below. It even has a central drawer right under the open shelf. Perfect for rustic country décor.
Corner Shelf Unit
The corner shelf unit lends itself readily to shabby chic decorating. The simple upper shelving above a door that opens to the left almost begs for those thick layers of paint. Add some zinc containers and perhaps a corrugated roofing plaque, and you will have that country look going for you. Bold hinges complete the simplistic air of this shelving unit.
Curio Cabinet
If you would like something a little more sophisticated to put in your corner space, try a curio cabinet. These are usually made from artistically carved wood, with glass panels that reach from top to bottom. Some even have mirrors in the back to enhance the displays of small figurines or dolls. They are also the perfect place to display collections of shells, driftwood or other natural collections.
Kitchen or Dining Room Display Cabinet
Similar to the curio cabinet, kitchen or dining room corner display cabinets are intended to show off special plate or dish collections. Their glass fronts protect the fine china from dust and from accidental damage while allowing it to be displayed. Willow plates might be an example of the sort of item that might be displayed.
Lighted Corner Display Cabinet
A variation on the curio cabinet or kitchen display cabinet, this is another tall corner cabinet, although it is not a classic hutch, that is used to show off collections or special items. As the name implies, it has lights that can be turned on. It can invite people to look at the items or it can even serve and a night light.
